The bare essentials
I had a laptop hard-drive go on me a few weeks back. After starting over, here’s what I currently have installed. The list is in no particular order:
- Putty
- WinSCP
- GIMP
- XAMPP
- SharpReader
- Firefox 3 beta
- Nokia PC Suite
- Google Earth
- Polar WebLink (for my heartrate monitor)
- TortoiseSVN
- Beyond Compare
I’d expect that as soon as I get my MP3s back on this machine I’ll have WinAMP and the Last.FM scrobbler installed. I can’t be too far off needing an IDE either…. it may be time to try NetBEANS.
