Autumn 2009 - Eclipse - an IDE with all the tools I need
- muCommander - a File Browser and transfer tool with more features than the Finder
- TextWrangler - a solid text editor with syntax coloring and remote editing
- Things - a Getting Things Done program that can be habit forming
- SoCal - an iCal To-Do organizer
- Caffeine - keep your machine from falling asleep
Spring 2009
- Sequel Pro - A mac native SQL interface
- NetBeans - An IDE that is getting more mac-like *
- App Update Widget - Checks if there are updates to any installed applications
- iBackup - More granular backup than Time Machine
- MacVim - gui version of a very powerful text editor ***
- MacPorts - easy way to add *nix software to a mac
- Porticus - gui for macports
- CLIX - command line for people afraid of Terminal.app
- Bento - lite DB from FileMaker that I use for GTD **
** Charlie turned me onto an application called Things. Once, I got used to the Things workflow, I could not go back to Bento.
*** Vim is definitely the most powerful text editor, but much of that functionality is handled by my IDE, so I moved from MacVim back to TextWrangler which integrates better with the Mac environment.
