Technical difficulties have forced me to reinstall Windows, which I thought wasn’t a big deal, but it was and no one is surprised. Perhaps more for my sake than yours, I wanted to list all of the things that I wanted to install.
- Firefox
- MeasureIt! add-on
- FireBug add-on
- Color Picker? add-on
- AdBlock Plus – advertising blocker
- Screen Grab add-on
- Developer tools
- Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar
- 7-zip archiving tool
- Adobe Photoshop
- Adobe Premiere
- Thunderbird email client
- Adobe Reader
- Google’s Chrome web browser
- Apple’s Safari web brower
- Skype
- Microsoft Office 2003, including the file format converter for the latest version
- Google Picasa
- CodeLobster – a pretty nice (and free) PHP IDE
Here are some things that I normally install but won’t this time if I can avoid it:
- Eclipse with Aptana
- WAMP Server
- BullZip PDF Printer
More coming as I get setup.
I’ve utilised Skype for a few years now, and I have got to say that the quality of their service has actually been slumping since they were purchased. For now I will stick with them since I have a great deal of acquaintances who are also on Skype. But I am studying alternatives.
