Firefox 3 Delicious extension is finally available for a Beta release. - [all variants] Comprehensive Multimedia & Video How-to - Ubuntu Forums
A great guide posted on the Ubuntu forums about getting everything related to multimedia and video working. Had some great suggestions on there about converting video and audio. - FLVto
I have yet to try this since the website has been down. Apparently it will convert youtube videos. - GnomeFiles - GNOME/GTK+ Software Repository
Can’t believe I’ve never seen this site before. A good place to find software for Gnome. - InterfaceLIFT
A good place to get some wallpapers. There are also icons and other things available on this site, but I have yet to look at those. - Wallpapoz — Gnome Desktop Wallpapers Configuration Tool
A nice program that will automatically change your background. I wrote a post on it this week.
- Howto: Record soundcard output with Audacity in KDE [Update: and Gnome] « /home/liquidat
A great post on how to get Audacity recording soundcard output on KDE or Gnome. I had no trouble with recording sound with Ubuntu’s sound recorder, but when I tried Audacity, it didn’t work. This is an easy fix. - Hack Attack : Find The Most Obscure MP3’s Using Google | dailyApps

If you have Ubuntu installed, then you’ll find some great tips on here. One that I’m going to use once I boot back into Ubuntu is disabling the internal speaker beep. That thing just gets on my nerves. - Presdo | Make Time To…
A nice site to quickly make a todo list. Integrates with different calendars, like Google Calendar. Type in a task and date, and it will schedule it for you. Looks like this might be a good alternative to RTM.
