Tasty Software

I couldn't think of anything from Windows.

David is a total geek. I'm sure glad I'm not like that.

  1. What about:
    scp, ping, netstat, gdb, and strace.

    And For Windows
    winscp and putty

  2. And although mutt may not be one of your favourites Ryan, it should be. Learn to love it then add it to your list already.

  3. What about top? It is very good for looking at system load and runs in a console.

  4. what about textpad?

  5. Textpad is pretty good. But it’s really missing things like HTML/XML tag auto-closing and ctags autocomplete. Vim has both and they rock. The autocomplete saves so much typing and stops so many typos in code.

    I just can’t get into mutt. It’s probably because there’s less reward. With vim it’s awful at first (even after a long time it’s kind of awful), but you use it so much that it becomes obvious that’s it’s really useful. I don’t use email nearly so much, so it would take heaps longer to learn it. And every morning when you go to read email you have to choose what application you’ll do it in.

  6. I should add ratpoison to this list.
