        DotNetNuke has opened up web development for me, all the tedious layout\security issues are handled leaving me to develop better websites.

          Firefox with Firebug and Greasemonkey is essential. For development stuff? CCNet and mbUnit rock. But I have to say that the open source application I most recently fell in love with was apt[^]. Being able to install/update/upgrade/remove anything with just a simple command is awesome. :)

              Amarok is probably the only app running more than firefox so I´ll have to say that´s my favorite.

                Picnic is the way to go, don't fancy the Snickers much. Problem for me is the fridge always seems to be full of them (my father in-law wins them on some machine at the club), no one else likes them and as a diabetic I'm trying to stay away from them. The beer and the rum aren't going so chocolate and lollies had to.

                    For components, db4o and MyXaml come to mind right off. :-) And for applications, Thunderbird, Paint .NET, Firefox, and ToDoList.

                                    Even CPhog? ;) I actually really like the Linkifier script for those times when people don't actually link URLs. And there are a few others that I've cooked up for small modifications to sites that I visit.

                                      Even CPhog. Just not as hardcore a CP user as you :) I've got a few bookmarklets which do most of the custom things I want on various websites. I've tried GreaseMonkey scripts that alter popular sites, even made one or two myself to see how it works but it is more guff to manage when you use another computer or browser or reinstall etc. Any plans for an online repo of GreaseMonkey scripts per user? i.e. a sync.
