Y’know, there are dozens of these little single-use apps for controlling one specific laptop’s brightness, or multimedia keys, or webcam, or Some Other Widget lying around the web. It occurs to me there should be some kind of central point for finding all these things, to make it easier for users and distro makers…

Ryan, you are ridiculously awesome.

AdamW: There’s a whole /sys hookup for doing it in kernelspace, so that’s probably the right place. I know Matthew Garrett (mjg59) has been hacking on that API, so maybe worth giving him a mail..

Excellent work!

Maybe you could get the Macbook’s sleep to work, on your coffee break? :-)
