Today I discovered that I’m addicted to Katapult, an application specially designed to provide quick and easy access to applications, bookmarks, music and more.

Unfortunately, it’s a KDE (QT) application. This means that using it on GNOME makes your system load and mantain in memory many KDE libraries just for a small application.

Today I asked myself “are there a similar application to GNOME?”. Some seconds later Google got me the solution: GNOME Launch Box.

This application works great! I don’t know if it was just for me, but I had to configure manually the shortcut to fire the gnome launch box. I used the instructions here.

Hope you like it too!

Yesterday I bought a nice new Play Station Portable. Unfortunately, it came with a 2.71 TA-082 motherboard. I’m happy that it can now be downgraded to 1.50 as easily as the old motherboards.

Now I’ve ordered a 4Gb Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo from eBay and I’ll wait for it to arrive. Then we’ll have fun :)
