I’ve been in a sharing mood lately. Continuing that theme…here are some more of my favorite things:

Apple

Headdress

Allows you to host multiple sites on your local machine. It’s basically a GUI Apache config file editor. It also plays nice with MAMP.

TextMate

My current text editor of choice for PHP, HTML, CSS, and Javascript. It also does a pretty good job of helping keep project files organized.

Disc Inventory X

This tool gives you a visual representation of how your disc space is being used.

iSquint

Convert almost any video format for iPod.

Handbreak

A DVD to MPEG-4 converter.

Unison

Usenet client

Transmit

FTP client

Adium

Chat client that allows simultaneous connections to AIM, MSN, Jabber (gtalk), Yahoo, and more.

Windows

Notepad++

A robust notepad replacement.

FastStone Screen Capture

Allows you to capture selected areas, magnify the screen, and has a built in color picker.

Fiddler

HTTP Debugging Proxy.

Royal TS

Allows you to organize multiple remote desktop connections, remembers passwords, and allows you to connect to console.

Roboform

Very robust password manager, form filler, and password generator. Works with Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, and Mozilla.

I forgot one (updated 11/6/2006):

UltraMon

Extends the Windows toolbar when you have multiple monitors.

Cross Platform

VLC

Media player that supports a whole bunch of formats.

Firefox w/ the Web Developer Toolbar

A web developer’s dream come true! The “Swiss Army Knife” of developer tools.

Synergy

One of my favorite tools of all time. Allows you to use a single mouse and keyboard with multiple computers and displays. It’s kind of a software KVM switch. I use my Apple keyboard on three computers…one running Apple OS 10.4, another running Windows XP, and another running Ubuntu 6.06!
