LinksMozilla Firefox An extremely small, quick, and reliable open source browser. With advanced features like integrated pop-up blocking and tabbed browsing, Firefox beats Internet Explorer hands down. The SAXON XSLT Processor from Michael Kay The XSLT processor used to produce this website. SAXON is an open source project written in Java and is regularly updated to meet the newest XSLT specifications. I don't know what I would do without it. 7-Zip An open source file compression utility that handles all archive formats in common usage. It is fast, efficient, and completely free. foobar2000 An extremely simple, yet very high quality, open source audio player. This is the program for people who like their applications to work well, and don't care if they're pretty. If you want pretty, use Winamp instead. Media Player Classic A single open source application that will play any movie on your hard drive, including Quicktime movies and RealMedia (once you install the codecs). Another very simple application, no skins or any other garbage, just dependable movie playing. DAEMON Tools Virtual CD/DVD emulator that allows the user to mount CD/DVD images. PNGGauntlet Optimizes .png files. I ran this on the images on my site and got a 50% reduction in size on some of the images. Highly recommended. TextPad A very nice text editor. Every feature you would ever want, but still uncluttered and easy to use. It's available for free to try and $27 to buy. I have to admit I feel really guilty for not paying for it yet. beitelspacher.us I just got this new domain so I might as well link to it even though there is nothing of value there yet. SETI@home The largest distributed computing project ever. It has little chance to ever succeed, but that doesn't mean it's not cool. See how my team and I are doing. Slashdot Can't be a geek without the obligatory link to Slashdot on your site. OU Club of Colorado They're using some of my pictures. |
