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.

A decent little terminal emulator.

I don’t generally use it, but it’s on the short list of terminals I’ll use if others aren’t readily available.

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.

A BitTorrent client.

It can’t copy magnet links, so it’s best to not use it.

A text editor.

I like it in general. It’s on par with mousepad and Leafpad, although of the three, leafpad reserves the least amount of memory.

Abandoned.

For a while now, I’ve been playing the online game World of Warcraft (“WoW”). Come to think of it, I’ve been extremely unproductive in anything that’s important to me in life because of this game. Hmm.

But my habit of searching and reviewing has stayed with me. One of the things which attracted me to this game in the first place is the possibility to customize the game client (Forum: UI and Macros). Since it is impossible to create one interface which is universally acceptable, it is extremely good to allow developer customization.
