I’ve done this before, but it’s time for a new list with a selection of the tools and applications I’m using:
- jEdit, text editor written in Java with BeanShell execution support, edit modes, syntax highlightning, seearch and replace with regular expressions
- xplorer2 Pro, The Windows Explorer replacement, with a multitude of shortcuts and features
- Process Explorer, a better Task Manager, that shows processes in a hierarchy
- Firefox, of course
- Thunderbird, of course
- GIMP, I’ve not launched my old Photoshop since I discovered this magnificent application!
- Exifer, great when renaming photos from the digital camera
- Gaim, superb IM client with support for multiple accounts
- CapsUnlock
- UltraVNC
- Cygwin, the Linux-like environment for Windows
- 7-zip, LGPL:ed compressing/uncompressing software, that makes really small archives
- Filezilla
- Winamp, big, clumsy, but it works. I’m looking for a better alternative though
- MusicBrainz Tagger, to tag my ripped MP3:s so it can be recognized by last.fm when I play them
