A simple python-only volume control and OSD.

Nothing fancy, and nothing difficult. There’s no configuration, which is both a good and a bad thing.. but I can live with the developer’s defaults. No extra dependencies to speak of. Just Python.

I’ve used it with Blackbox, xfwm, Openbox, etc. It’s wonderful. It’s also the only KDE-compatible tray which I’ve seen.

Fantastic.

When it comes to all the fancy software tools out there, I’m finding myself becoming more and more luddite.

I’ve learned through reading and discussion many ways on how to handle data. It’s something I’m always interested in. However, the one thing that I’ve learned – and sometimes the hard way – is that no matter how awesome your handling of your data it all falls to pieces when your tools break.

Rotating immersion

It’s my nature to gain and lose interest in things, like the tides coming and going. I’ve tried all sorts of tricks to schedule and change focus, but they just don’t work for me. So I’m going to declare a new way of doing things. A way which works to my advantage. I’ll call it “rotating immersion“.
