Widgets for Linux

17 November 2006 by kristarella

ADesklets are widgets that can be used in Linux using the X-windows system. They are cute and easily customisable.

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
