Useful software
- Windows XP Powertoys: Microsoft's neat, albeit unsupported, collection of power user enhancements for Windows XP. Gems like a thumbnail-previewing task switcher, an "Open Command Windows Here" context menu for Windows Explorer, and more.
- Mozilla: Free, open-source, cross-platform web browser that does everything that Internet Explorer does, only faster and better, plus with unique features like pop-up and ad blocking and tabbed browsing
- Phoenix: A Mozilla
derivative which supports multiple-tab bookmarks. Its usually the first browser
I use nowadays--I've set it to open this page, the weather, Slashdot, and ESPN
- AVIcodec: Identifies the codecs used for the audio and video streams of an AVI file.
- FFDShow: An all-in-one MPEG-4 codec. Decodes DivX 3/4/5 and xvid
- Nimo Codec Pack: A bundle of just about every codec you could possibly need. Some files
require the Morgan Stream Switcher to play audio
- VideoLAN: A free cross-platform multimedia player built around a client-server architecture. I use the client software to play DVDs since the software that came with my computer stopped working for some mysterious reason.
- Winamp: Free MP3 player with the best selection of visualization plugins. My current favorite visualization plugin
is the built-in Advanced Visualization Studio (AVS) plugin, with El-Vis
preset packs 5 and higher (search www.winamp.com components and
classic.winamp.com for plugins by Frank Nagel). I've put some screenshots
of AVS here.
- Geisswerks: Home of Ryan Geiss,
author of classic Winamp plugins like Geiss and Milkdrop
- Tripex: A Winamp plugin by Ben
Marsh, with the smoothest user interface I've seen in a visualization plugin,
and pretty effects, too.
- AOL Instant Messenger: If you know me,
you can IM me at screenname ElsonLiu . If I don't know you, I'll probably
ignore you. :-p
- Buddyzoo: A nifty website that will
analyze your network of AIM buddies, if you voluntarily upload your buddy
list. It's run by a Caltech freshman out of his dorm room, and has the
distinction of handling a Slashdotting without breaking a sweat.
