Tools of the trade
February 03, 2006
Everyone else seems to be blogging about it lately, so hey what the heck, you only live once right. Here's a list of all the web applications and software I couldn't live without. - When in the studio making tracks or recording DJ sets, Ableton, Audacity, Logic Audio, TRAKTOR, etc. Even though I mention software in regards to DJing, you still can't beat the feel and sound of real vinyl.
- Playing music while working, iTunes. That was a tough one to guess eh.
- Editing code, Homesite when on PC, Vi or TextWrangler when on Mac. Homesite is pretty much unsupported these days, which is a shame in my opinion.
- Working with creative files/general graphics, Fireworks.
- Access to a terminal/Shell, when not on my PowerBook, SecureCRT or PuTTY.
- Managing server files via SFTP, CuteFTP Professional on PC and Transmit on Mac.
- Kicking around on the Internet, Fire "I love Tab Browsing" Fox.
- Making sure the lights don't get turned off, Quickbooks.
- When I do have to chat with folks, Gaim.
- Sending email newsletters, MailChimp, of course :)
- Knowledgebase and/or customer service ticketing, Timpani.
- Reading RSS feeds, Bloglines.
- Tracking development tickets/bugs, Bugzy.
- Time tracking, PunchyTime.
Hmm, that's about all that I can think of at the moment, I'll update this post if anythig else comes to mind. At some point I'll have to post a list of tools/software I wish I could find. Already I could use a good to-do list manager. I've tried a couple of tools that would be considered popular and I honestly wasn't impressed. Atleast I didn't find them any more helpful then having stacks of post it notes around my desk. Anyone out there have anything they could suggest?
