nuzzaci - an online journal

So… what is the first thing you do with a brand new computer you have been waiting for for over 4 months (besides opening a good bottle of wine)?

Well since it’s not my first (or only) computer, the exploration phase doesn’t really exist. There is not enjoyment in trying the new applications or learning a new user interface. No, It’s just a matter of setting up the computer; install the software you normally use, fine tuning settings and appearance and off you go - back to normal.

In alphabetic order, these was the first ten application I installed:

1. Adium
2. Entropy php5 module
3. Inquisitor
4. Last.fm
5. Quicksilver
6. Synergy
7. TextMate
8. Transmit
9. UnRarX
10. VLC

I notice this (the top ten) through my download manager in Safari… and to be honest - I kind of wonder why the first ten are the first ten.

Sadly, what brought me to write this post is not the brilliance of the website and service last.fm, but how they are slowly transforming into something… less brilliant. They are slowly but surely ‘losing it’. Instead of keeping it simple - focusing on one thing…

I don’t know. The greatness of the service is getting more and more lost in the overwhelming of features. The new design is also a major fall back.

Again, I’m sad I didn’t get a chance to tell everyone how f**king great they were.
