Google, Google and other stuff

Yeah this week is good =) Google desktop beta 2 was released with the google sidebar. I know that sidebars have been around for a while, but the google takes up so little memory which is the best thing about google. The same goes for the newly released google talk!

http://desktop.google.com
http://talk.google.com

Google talk is technically like skype, its main purpose is probably VoIP telephone calls, but it has a messenging function too. It leaves a very small imprint on your processes and is vewry minimalistic, a really cool piece of software.

MusicBrainz Tagger is another great piece of software I found. Even though its been around for a while its a great way to label your music collection, especially if you downloaded them and got tracks which are labeled wrong.

I recently read an article about patriotism which started to make me think. I don't really feel patriotic to any country. During the NDP preview performance for the primary 5, everybody was so enthusiastic during the celebrations, but I realised that I have no feelings to Singapore at all. I only lived there for 4 years and I used to be Malaysian.

Thats all for today, its my birthday in 2 days! and the trip next week looks pretty cool. Plus our homeroom teacher said that we dont have any duties to do during the trip and if they give any to us she will fight against it :p
