2007 Must Haves
May 21st, 2007 by Jack Lhasa
A lot of bloggers post lists like this, so I thought I would give it a try. Here’s a list of the programs I consider best and why.
1. OS = Ubuntu and Windows XP
– Ubuntu is awesome. We have our fights, sure. But it all works out in the end. XP I still can’t live without at the moment, but I’m trying hard.
2. GAIM.
– There’s really no other IM client.
3. Mozilla Firefox
– IE? What the hell is that?
4. Wordpress
– No one does blogs better.
5. Gmail
– Still got yahoo? Get rid of it. Archives. Archives. I cannot say that enough.
6. Winamp(on XP) and Amarok(on Ubuntu)
– Winamp? It really kicks the llama’s ass. Amarok is just cool.
7. Nethack
– After over 20 years, video games still don’t get much more fun.
8. GIMP
– Ubuntu or Windows. This is my all time favorite graphics editor.
9. OpenOffice.
– Covers all of my word processing and database needs, free, and works on both platforms.
That’ll do for now. Anyone have suggestions on great things I’m missing out on?
