Well, to sum it up, if I have these pieces of software, I'm home. ;-) (if I used Windows anymore...see below) |
Panorama |
Great for randomizing those gobs of wallpapers (does JPEGs), scheduling, and hot-keys! |
Screenthemes |
The suppliers of my wallpapers (I replaced Panorama with this). |
Topdesk |
A computer is not home without SnadBoy's TopDesk. |
Quick View Plus |
Great Product. A little slooow on the JPEG decompression, but it does almost every file format. |
ICQ |
Hmm, I Seek You, who ever you may be. |
Hardware Sensors Monitor |
Gotta keep track of how hot my computer is (scorching!). |
PGP Download Wizard |
Since NAI bought out PGP, I could never find a new version of PGP. Until I found this site, that is. |
FTP Explorer |
Best FTP client. A little flaky at times, but it does the job. |
Emacs |
Vi blows (in Windows - 3/14/2001). Emacs is where it is at. I use this for when I am not using a nice GUI-based text program or am in Linux/FreeBSD. |
Some other software: |
VMWare |
I hate to reboot. I really hate to reboot. But, I love to run Linux or FreeBSD on occasion. |
WarFTPD |
I run my own FTP server - this program provides the best security at the best price. |
Dr. Scheme |
If you need to do anything in Scheme, download this program. It is by
far the simplest and easiest to use. Don't forget to set the language
to Advanced. |
Pullmail |
Takes POP mail and sends it to an SMTP server. Great. |
Cafe 3.0 with JDK1.2 |
Sometimes you just need a debugger. |
The real cool software is listed here: |
Apache |
The one true HTTP server |
Vi IMproved |
The one true editor (albeit enhanced) |
Gale |
The one true IM |
Mutt |
The one true MUA |
Sendmail |
The one true MTA (qmail doesn't have decent LDAP support) |
OpenLDAP |
The one true directory (iPlanet is awful) |
Google |
The one true search engine |
FreeBSD |
The one true cute OS mascot |
