or rather on your weblog if you have installed a weblog spam plugin that uses an RBL that has added Tor exit nodes into their list. Spam Karma is one such plugin. The default RBL list it uses unfortunately considers tor servers as source of spam (which no denying it might occasionally be). So either change the setting to use another blacklist like opm.blitzed.org or bsb.empty.us or be ready to have one less subscriber. You see, I am trying to cling on to whatever shreds of privacy I can.
Presenting my new laptop's new desktop's screenshot. Click on the image below for a 1024x768 sized image (90K) to fully appreciate the minimalism I settled down for.
The window manager is Fluxbox with the protoblack skin. Menus, keys and toolbar were edited for personal preferences. The calendar application is gdeskCal, with an edited version of the "SimpleforDark" skin. The statistic shown at the top left of the screen was generated by torsmo with personalised config file.
In case someone is wondering how it feels to have no desktop icons and shortcuts etc., it feels refreshingly nice and fast, especially since I like to keep my use of the touchpad to an absolute minimum. All my favorite applications can be launched by key sequences. For example, Firefox is launched by Alt-f, Thunderbird by Alt-t and so on.
