OpenOffice
First on the list is OpenOffice.org. This is really nice program that does everything that a full Microsoft Office Suite does. The code was written by a company called StarOffice it is now owned by Sun Microsystems. It is an open source program.
TweetDeck
Second up is TweetDeck. It is basically a browser just for twitter updates. It also supports Facebook statuses. It makes me update my twitter more which I enjoy.
Google Chrome.
When Google does something they do it right. This is a big one for me. Google Chrome, the only browser I use short of compatibility issues. I like it because it's small, and doesn't use much processing power to run, which is another thing I'm all about when it comes to programs. If you download any of these download this one it's the best.
Audacity
This huge one for me that I have it for free just blows my mind. It's Audacity, an open source multi track recording program. I wish I could say I use the shit out of this thing, but I don't have a good microphone and that makes me sad. Seriously though it's the working mans Protools. Thank you Audacity for kicking ass.
Media Player Classic
This is a great program. It's based off old Windows Media Player code, I'm pretty sure. It plays like every file type, and again it's one those tiny programs.
I do have one complaint no library or playlist support is really there. It's kind of lame opening a file every time I wanna change a song.
Skype
Skype to me is just a giant irony. Remember when the internet used to use the phone? Now somehow though the magic of technology the internet is the phone! They have great, great rates. Certainly better than you would get at any phone company. I only use it for the free skype to skype currently though.
Now I have two honorable mentions:
Frontman It's a Guitar Hero like thing for computer finding good songs to play with it is the hard part, but I've had a lot of fun with it.
Alzip This one is sort of self-explanatory, I use it to decompress things. I have had some problems with it where instead of actually unzipping I have to drag and drop the files out of Alzip but it still works.
Those are all the sweet amazing programs I use go give them a try.
Have a bitchin' day.
