Well, ok, not me but that’s what this list of wonders did for Mike Duncan. So why am I mentioning it here? Because a lot of the stuff he lists here isn’t developer specific at all. If you spend time working in the technology space, you’re bound to get good value out of some of this stuff. For example, who doesn’t want a way cool application launcher as an alternative to antagonizing your already crippling case of carpel tunnel? Even if you work in marketing or design, you’re bound to get some value out of JRuler. How many times are you wondering what size a photo is so you can replace an existing image in a website or brochure? I usually fire up Photoshop to do that task but that’s like opening MS Word when you really just needed Notepad. And doesn’t everyone need to do an occasional screen grab from time to time? On the Mac you can easily draw the area on the screen you want to capture but that nifty feature is missing from Windows. A neat free tool like Cropper is just the thing. Perhaps the most nifty tool? Unlocker. Ever try to delete a file that might still be open in another program and Windows tells you to drop dead? Unlocker assumes you know what your doing instead of forcing you to click around trying to find where the file is being used so you can finally terminate the process.
Lots of fun stuff over there. C# devs might have a look at Resharper too…
