Amphetadesk

Been checking out Amphetadesk again lately. Amphetadesk is a desktop RSS reader, currently in alpha for version 0.93. Its creator, Morbus (aka Kevin), has been doing a great job – Amphetadesk has a new architecture that makes for easy hackability, a virtue for any perl-based software, which Amphetadesk is.

I also appreciate that Amp (as it is affectionately known by some) is faceless and completely background – it's just there, taking up precious few resources while doing it's work.
