Midori >
Because of some discussion about a light default web browser for Unity Linux, I became interested in the Midori web browser. I wrote some notes on my first experience with it.
Now that it’s available in the Unity Linux repository, I wanted to give it another go.

SMPlayer is yet another front end for the famous and awesome media player MPlayer. Well, it would be awesome if it wasn’t so UNIX-like that it desperately needed to have a front end made. Still, it’s awesome now that it has a real one.
A frontend for MPlayer.
I use this to supplement VLC
TODO – I saved some notes somewhere, which should be posted up here

A video hosting website.
It used to be great, but Google took it over, removed video responses, fucked up comments and left the service in shambles.

I strongly appreciate a single-application single-tasking environment, because it forces you into a totally different mindset from the flurry of activity and noise one always has on an everyday “multitasking” computing environment these days. But since most of my day is spent completely surrounded by multiple applications all vying for my attention, I’ve come to expect to be able to swap my attention around whenever I want.
But there are situations and applications which explicitly deny multitasking.
Seriously.
