Good Software

One of the guys on a private mailing list asked about what software people couldn't live without. Here's my list.


  1. Notepad2 - I rename it to n2 and put it in my PATH. Then it is just a WindowsKey + R, n2 away.

  2. Firebug - Couldn't style a webpage without it.

  3. DiffMerge - Comparing versions of code is pretty and easy.

  4. Pidgin - Allows me to be on MSN and Google Talk.

  5. GridMove - I have a 1920x1200 screen which is too much real estate to only use one window at a time, but Windows doesn't have a good way to manage my application windows.

  6. Depending on what I am working on, either VS 2008, or Vim + ctags.
