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 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.

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.
