My Essential Software List
In my last post I mentioned I made a list of all the software I would need to reinstall with my fresh Windows install. Â Well, here it is. Â Remember that this is my work computer… Â so I have a lot of programming tools and what not. Â But of course I have way more “fun” stuff than “work” stuff…
Opera - My favorite web browser
Digsby - My new favorite IM client — connect to every network you can think of
DisplayFusion - For managing my wallpaper on dual monitors… awesome app
Simplify Media - To connect to my 25 GB of MP3s on my computer at home
iTunes - To play those MP3s!
Last.fm - As a music junkie I can’t go without it
xAmp Studio - For listening to XM Radio, especially Ron and Fez
uTorrent - Hmm, why would I need this at work?
Google Pack
Firefox - As a development tool more than an everyday browser
Google Photos Screensaver - Beats the flying XP logo
Acrobat Reader
Development
Editpad - Because Notepad sucks
TortoiseSVN - The best way to connect to my Subversion version control system
Visual Studio 2005 - For .NET development
Eclipse - For Java development
Beyond Compare 2 - Awesome diff tool for Windows
RealVNC Client
Other Stuff
RingCentral - Our VoIP software, very cool
MS Office 2007
AVG Free AntiVirus - The latest version 8.0 is really nice
Mozy - Essential remote backup software
Tea Timer - A dumb little timer app I use so I don’t forget about my coffee brewing

So what do you use for IRC? or has Digsby included support for it?
