The tools I use
I've been meaning to write this post for a while, It's more for my own memory than anything else, and I'm sure my millions of readers will be very un-interested to read it, but after a recent install of a new operating system on my Uni machine (Windows Vista to Windows 7), I thought I would list the tools I use on a daily basis to organise my working/online/offline life.

- I really enjoy posts like this and will write a similar one when I next upgrade my machines. You're missing: Firebug, Page Speed and Xmarks in your Firefox collection. Ad-blocker Plus is fantastic too. - Steve Neely on Tue Nov 10 2009 15:48:06 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)
- Suppose it's not such a great idea to advertise every piece of software I use though.... :D - Matt on Tue Nov 10 2009 15:59:38 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)
