As many of you now know I have decided to become a scientologist. It took a long time for me to decide this was the path for me but I was greatly aided by watching this short video and reading about Lisa McPherson. What a bunch of jerks.
New linux apps
The coolest thing out there right now is still Amarok an itunes-ish clone. Version 1.3 was buggy as well and would crash every second song.
