5 desktop applications I can’t do without

I love free software. :P I have a large amount of it installed to my computer, so I’m sharing a few of it with you guys. Here are five applications which I don’t think I’d survive without.

  • Tweetdeck – I’m always on Twitter. It’s one of my favorite web apps and I’m more active there than on Plurk (which is evident, by the looks of my Plurk karma – that was 95 about a couple months ago – don’t care anymore). If I didn’t have Tweetdeck, I probably wouldn’t tweet that often, since I’m lazy with regards to logging into my accounts.
  • Blogdesk – I have about three WordPress blogs, so it’s a bit of a hassle to log into my accounts one by one just to blog. Blogdesk helps me post to all my blogs using just one application. I don’t have to log in, and it comes with a few nifty tools.
  • Combined Community Codec Pack – I don’t like the media player bundled with XP, and it’s a pain looking for the codecs that I need one by one, so this codec pack is very convenient. It has all the codecs I need, plus Media Player Classic. :)
  • Filezilla – A few months ago, my Firefox installation started working really slowly because of the amount of addons I use. I was very dependent on FireFTP. So after reformatting my computer, I went on a search for a nice, free FTP client and found this.
  • Fotosizer – I’m usually rather active on Flickr (not right now, because I haven’t had time to process my film). So this batch resizer is pretty useful, because uploading high-res images takes so long, especially if you consider my ISP.

I could go on and on about the other applications I regularly use, such as foobar and Foxit, but I only said I’d list five. :D

Diventare turned a year old two days ago. :P I should probably consider Orlando vacations to celebrate it. I intended to blog, but it slipped my mind. :)
