Crowdy panel

Recently I've started using a few additional applications. One of them is PulseAudio which really impressed me with how easy it was to set up and use. I just love it - laying down on my bed watching a movie on my macbook having movie sound wirelessly transfered to my server's speakers! And it takes only one click to switch between local and remote speakers. And all PulseAudio servers in my LAN are automatically detected with Avahi.
It's amazing how fast Linux Desktop is moving on. A few years back it was lacking basic stuff and it took a really patient and tech-savvy guy to set up, now it looks like other OSes have a lot of catching up to do.
The other app is a simple gnome Twitter client, which I'm not gonna talk about.
I've also started using CryptKeeper a lot more. I love the way encfs works and how simple CryptKeeper is.
All of those apps. Have one thing in common - they all sit in the system tray. Not long ago my tray was really nice and clean, now it looks like this:



Occasionally I get more icons - for instance when burning CDs with brasero.
