More Ubuntu Notes and Thunderbird

I've had a bug in Ubuntu the last few days with Gnome-Panel. The panels would freeze up after selecting an item. It seems to be related to the more customized versions instead of working with the existing items, so I reverted back to the originals and moved all my launchers ( After getting them prettied up and moved just to how I liked them...oh well not a major loss all is working again and I can move on to bigger and better stuff).

As mentioned in an earlier post, I tried out several blogging tools to make posting easier, so that perhaps I would get more entries up. After trying the 3 and only getting 1 to really work, I figured I would go back to this method of posting via email. This is a much nicer and easier way to post.

Although I've been a long time fan of Firefox, I hadn't given Thunderbird its fair chance to prove itself. What I have seen so far these last few days, I've been very happy with the add-ons are great to work work with I just haven't figured out a way to get the tool bars to share icons between the editing of an email and the inbox, more to play around with later. Using Freepops as well has really been a great addition. Although I am mixing it with YPops at the same time and seems to work alright.

Finally got Juice working and I like the music player Exaile, but I am being tempted to try out Songbird... I looked at it briefly the other day and looks as clean as iTunes or perhaps RealPlayer with the home page info.
