I installed a couple of Gnome applets that I find real useful today. The first one is music-applet Gnome Music Applet, which got me hooked to using Rhythmbox, which got me hooked to using Last.fm and its neat recommendation feature. I love that the Cover Art is also automatically displayed, even for songs that you can get off Amie.st like State Radio’s music. It’s in the repositories, so a simple sudo aptitude install music-applet from the administrator user gets it.

The other cool applet I got is the timer applet, sudo aptitude install timer-applet Gnome Timer Applet which gives you a timer that you can set to various tasks. Being one of those unofficial ADD sufferers I lose track of time when I get on the internet and it’s useful to be reminded that I need to do some stuff now and then. It has a neat pie chart that gives you an idea of roughly how much time has been used up since you started out, useful to tell you how much you’ve slacked off.
