Your Commonly Needed Wares


Recommended Posts

Paint.NET

Picasa2

Maxthon

AVG

Portable Miranda IM

Portable Skype

Portable Firefox3

Portable GreatNews

Portable OpenOffice.org

Portable µTorrent

Portable 7-Zip

Portable VLC

When FF3 gets even better, I can get rid of Maxthon.

(It's almost there!)

And when I find a better Portable image viewer for me, I can get rid of Picasa2.

(checking out Portable Fast stone image viewer now)

Then, anytime I reinstall my system, I only need to reinstall PDN and AVG :)

Daily or Weekly

Mozilla Firefox - An open-source web browser that offers improved security, tabbed browsing, and modifications via plugins. If you use the internet (and if you don't...what the heck is going on? ;-)), I recommend it.

iTunes - Apple's greatest triumph! A free music player and library manager, this market dominator offers a clean, easily understood interface and a store featuring so much music it would take you a lifetime to listen to all of it. (Literally! 8,000,000 songs, if you assume 3 minutes apiece, would take 45.66 hours [EDIT] to play through all!)

Pidgin - A free Instant Message client that allows the user to communicate via AIM, YIM, MSN, GTalk, etc. from the same window! If you communicate with people via instant messages, I recommend it. (Thank you, CMD!)

Paint.NET - A free graphics editor for Windows that offers plugin-based modifications, great ease-of-use, and a power rivaling that of many commercial programs. If you're a graphic designer or just like messing with images, I recommend it.

e-Sword - A free, searchable version of the Bible, useful for study, version comparison, or recreational reading. If you're a Christian, I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Adobe Creative Suite 3 - No, it's not a bad word on this forum! I use Photoshop, and I like it. (GASP!) That's right! :-) The industry standard in raster graphics editing (Photoshop) and vector graphics editing (Illustrator) should be staples for every graphic designer who can afford them.

(Less Frequently)

Audacity - An open-source audio editing suite. Offering expandability via plugins and many of the features - such as multi-track editing and encoding to MP3 - only found in professional programs at exorbitant fees, I recommend this to anyone who wants to edit audio.

Windows Movie Maker - The single crappiest video editing software on the planet. But I have to edit videos. I recommend this for no one, but if you have to edit a video, you might as well download it. It's free.

Microsoft Office - Okay, it's not fun to use. But it's the industry standard for a reason, and I never got into OOo.

(Stuff I Want / Stuff I want to understand)

Autodesk Maya (or Marionette, if I could get it...but that's not possible because Pixar has it and won't sell it) - The top 3D graphics animation programs in the world.

Barring that,

Blender - which is a free 3D modeler, but I can't understand it.

 

The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.
Amy: But how did it end up in there?
The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.
River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.
