My menu bar

To celebrate my menu bar now being half full of menu icons, here's a list of what I'm currently running.

• Caffeine, for one-click “don't sleep or dim”. No more jiggling the mouse!
• smcFanControl, because MacBook Pros run hot
• Quicksilver, of course
• iScrobbler
• SSHKeychain
• GeekTool
• GroupCal, for syncing with my work calendar
• Modem
• PPTP VPN
• AppleScript menu
• Bluetooth icon
• Displays icon
• Airport icon
• Volume icon
• Battery indicator
• Input menu
• Fast user switching
• MenuCalendarClock, because having to click to get the date is annoying
• Spotlight, for the once a month that I actually use it, and to find out when it's indexing a disk that it shouldn't.

I also use QuietMBP, to stop my MBP from whining, and I just started using Witch, because Cmd-Tab occasionally freezes the window server, and this might help.

That's a lot of extensions. Here's a picture of the menu bar to demonstrate. It's probably time to prune a bit.
