Some Mac software link clouds
Software
As I said previously, I tend to wipe and reinstall the operating systems on my computers at least once a year, then I go about reinstalling software. Here's a cloud showing my current Mac software, current as of this post. I would discuss software from the future, but that would be in violation of the Temporal Prime Directive.
- Cyberduck
- Slick little (S)FTP client
- Gimp
- Photoshop replacement for editing pictures
- Inkscape
- Vector graphics editor
- iStat Pro
- For monitoring temperature, memory etc from the Dashboard
- MacFuse
- For easily mounting tons of file systems, and for TrueCrypt
- MacPorts
- OS X free software package manager
- MacVim
- Beautiful Aqua-native Gvim text editor
- Mozilla Firefox
- With these mostly-security extensions because I’m paranoid
- Perian
- QuickTime codec library, so Finder can create video thumbnails
- TrueCrypt
- Encrypted volume creator and manager
- TweetDeck
- Full screen Twitter client with interchangable columns
- VLC (Intel)
- For actually playing most of my video!
From MacPorts I build copies of:
- ImageMagick
- Easy command line image converting
- LAME
- For encoding podcasts
- Midnight Commander
- Still my primary file manager!
- Music on Console
- For listening to online radio, smaller than iTunes
- Python 2.6
- A kind of snake, also a British comedy troupe
