Fun with computers..and help me make a slapping list

So, been going through updating the desktop, laptop, Linux box/soon-to-be server, and sorting my various flash drives. Figured I'd pass on some software links and some links that have cropped up.

First off, a wallpaper generator called Desktop Earth courtesy of a link from Tsume. I'm gonna try it out on the work laptop for kicks.

Next, like I mentioned, I was sorting some stuff on my travelling flash drives and decided I really like Firefox enough to have it on the road with me. I knew of the USB version of the app, but also have found they have NVU and OpenOffice app support as well. Consider a small chunk of my 1GB stick taken by stuff from Portable Apps.

I've been reading about this presumed Web 2.0 stuff. A lot of it seems like marketing hooey, and it probably is, but I'll try some stuff out and see if any of it is applicable to the site. I know I have a project for a Google Maps-like interface, and I probably need to be able to upload pictures without the pain of doing it like I have been (thus, no pictures lately). I'll let you know if any of these mad scientist projects bear fruit for me.

And now, to something I hope gets a little comment interest from all of you. I've been watching more than my usual share of TV lately and I've found that I really loathe some of the people on my screen. Actually, it's commercial people mostly.

So, here's my current list of people I'd like to pimp slap, in current order of annoyance:

1. The Taco Bell "good to go" imbecile

2. The Verizon Guy

3. Jared from Subway

4. Debbie from Sprint

5. The Burger King
