Not creative enough to think of a better title right now...
I just spent almost two hours hacking away at the Banshee visualization pipeline again and made one very important optimization: when the callback function is null (which happens when nobody in managed land is listening for visualization data) the ...
So apparently the visualization stuff in Banshee has been disabled since it's a CPU hog. I don't know why I didn't notice it during testing (and I did check) but there seems to be a five-fold increase in CPU utilization with the visualization pipeline running. For me ...

I recently found my USB Bluetooth adapter and have been tinkering with using it to talk to my Palm. I've successfully configured Linux to allow PPP connections over Bluetooth, so I can sync my Palm if I don't have the cradle hooked up.
But a more interesting use ...
My web-based task manager now supports OpenID as a login mechanism. Have at it.
