Programs that make you go...Yippee
« on: March 25, 2010, 09:26:06 PM »
For me it as to be this little add on AutoPager Firefox extension automatically loads the next page of a site inline when you reach the end of the current page for infinite scrolling of content.  I just love it great for long threads like on this forum and google searches. I use the lite version and would never be with out it anymore. Yippee!!!

These are then programs that I have quick launched which I consider is an honour I bestow upon them:

Autodesk Maya
Adobe Illustrator (and PS)
Cakewalk Sonar
Opera
Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

uTorrent & Quick Screen Capture are the only ones of those I have. I now feel like I'm missing out on something.  :(

Most of the rest are all like utorrent but for different protocols.  DeskPins lets me "pin" any window on top of other ones.  This allows me to have a cmd prompt up and still read and scroll instructions on a web page beneath it without haveing to continually Alt+Tab.  mIRC is just an IRC client.  Irfanview is one of the best, lightweight image viewers I've ever experienced (and it has a decent but limited "Paint" add-on).

I once brought IrfanView to school on a floppy disk (it was the 90s) and the system administrator saw me use it, copied it off my network space and put it on all the computers - that's how awesome it is :D

Here's the Chrome version I use:

Foobar2000 makes me happy, especially after adding the Windows 7 component.  It does this:
  A progress bar in the taskbar :o
And it has something similar to that pop-up thing Windows Media Player has.

And erm... Opera.

The 90's god I remember my 1st PC 1991/2 560mb HDD 4mb ram and a Intel 486DX  66 MHz. Hell man it was a monster with a sound blaster and state of the art graphics card. I said goodbye to the BBS boards and hello to the net (CompuServe) I could not wait to run home from work with my new PC magazine free disk and check out all the goodies. Dam it sounds like the dark ages now!! The first software to blow my mind away was Photoshop on the Apple at work.

Opera 11 is so much better than Opera 10, it has tab grouping (they call it stacking)! :o

The mouse gestures has this circle thing come up to help you do it right.  Yay!

It supports extensions as well, but I don't think I'll be needing any of that action.

Actually, I think I might:

I saw that when it automatically updated but couldn't be bothered to read what it said.  What is the tab grouping again?
