WRITER'S BLOCK IDEA-FISHING:

Ok, I haven't blogged in a while, so here we go:

The first four serious ideas written in response to this toot will go into a poll that everyone will get to vote on, and WHATEVER idea wins the poll is what I will write on. (DONE)

@RL_Dane @amin @joel @dm @ivan @thedoctor @wholesomedonut @s3rvant But that's not a challenge, most people don't need any additional utilities, linux comes with so much stuff when you install it new :p Even on servers most of them are completely without any new stuff on them for me.
