Useful tools, services or sites I've come across. In no particular order.
- Stefan Kung's Tools. For Windows only. I find StExBar and grepWin very useful. From one of the creators of TortoiseSVN, a tool I simply cannot live without.
- Email ASCII obfuscator. There are quite a few tools for obfuscating email addresses: I chose to use this one because it doesn't force you to read an image and type the address manually, but still offers what appears to be good security.
- Notepad++ Possibly the best of the free Windows text editors. Play with the standard plugins - you'll be surprised how good they are. (I think the silly 'carbon-footprint reduction' nonsense on the web site is intended as a joke).
- PSPad - a very capable Windows text editor. Development seems to have stalled, and it's not quite as good as NP++ now.
- FreeMind - good, free mind-map editor. Written in Java. Project isn't moribund but I do wish someone would really pick this up and run with it: great foundation, which could be so much better.
- DropBox. The best web-drive product I have found. Works well on Linux, too.
- JungleDisk - good for automated backups to Amazon S3. Also offers drive mapped access to S3.
- Rapid Environment Editor. If you hate editing Windows environment variables as much as I do, get a copy of this tool and if you like it, donate something to the author. This is an excellent piece of software.
- jZip. This is a freeware archive tools which handles zip, 7zip and most other common formats (including tar and gzip). It's fast, and integrates with Windows Explorer nicely.
