KDE apps barely worked for me. For example konqueror crashes on every odd run (I guess it's more like: I need to start it twice). Skype, which also uses QT crashes in the current versions directly after showing it's main window, too (statically linked, so it can't be QT itself...) Sometimes it also crashes and it opens up the non-configured kMail to write an email with the backtrace. I think Gnomes bug-buddy does a better job on that, too, not popping up two overlapping windows...

I was looking for a nice tool to organize my Ogg music collection, and amaroK was recommended to me. While amaroK started fine, it would stop updating it's screen when indexing my collection.

And what I then hate most, is that I can't even type "killall amarok", because KDE applications seem to prefer chaning their name after start... Argh!

I have to admit, that amaroks screen looks pretty. The player that impressed me most (both feature-wise and visually) was quodlibet, though, which suprised me with a nice fading current-track display including cover image. It used way to much memory for my liking though, so I'm back to using mpd with a tiny gnome app to display what is playing and access the playlists.

So what I'd really need is probably a quodlibet-like frontend to mpd. ;-)

Google today launched it's Page Creator, offering you some hundred MB of storage for your webpage, and the service promptly was overloaded some time - Slashdot effect?

It's back now, I just successfully logged in. ;-)
