Konfabulator is out! certainly has a LOT of promise. Both for usability and just generally adding cool and nice things to your computer. It is built to be extensible so it can be made to do pretty much anything!

The most of the supplied widgets are a bit overly simplistic for my liking so far but [...]

Well, I had a great time at the Melbourne International Music and Blues Festival. Better than I thought I would.

I even enjoyed Vika and Lindas Gospel singing. They have great voices; seeing them live made the difference.

Chris Wilson and his band [...]
