With business slowing down I thought I'd finally spend the time to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Unfortunately my MPB drive crashed during the upgrade. I did have a TimeCapsule backup but some stupid reason I decided to exclude applications (mainly because I the user data for those apps). So here I am reinstalling what I thought would be a rather small number of applications. For the record, here's the list (in no particular order) :
• CyberDuck
• OpenOffice 3.2 RC1, waiting for the January release and still considering Keynote (loads of ODP content that I'd need to convert)
• iLife
• NetBeans 6.8, for the first (and limited) time I'll have a single copy of the IDE.
• GlassFish v3, what else?
• Eclipse Tools bundle for GlassFish
• JarInspector, small but very useful except it no longer runs on SnowLeopard since the Cocoa binding for Java were removed 
• Firefox 3.5.6, still not my primary browser but at prefers HTML over XML.
• Audacity, ugly UI, great features
• TextWrangler, trying this to replace un-maintained Smultron
• The very fine VirtualBox
• SJphone, another ugly UI and complex config.... (x-lite 4.0 beta just hangs up all my calls after 30 seconds)
• Flash 10
• Vodafone Mobile Connect, MacOS is an after-thought for this 3G USB modem but getting better
• Perian
• iStat Menus
• Tweetie, been happy with this Twitter client for a while now
• NetNewswire, it's been free for a while and the sync to Google Reader saved my day
• iShowU, the video grabber that I use
• Growl, not sure reinstalling this disturber was the smartest thing I did
• DropBox, I really like this service and the app does what you expect
• VLC, what else?
• jCalSync, so others know what I'm up to (and I get to use the nifty Mail/iCal/Contacts integration)
• Transmission, not doing much bittorrent lately but useful once in a while
• Skype
• Call Recorder for Skype, simple and effective (at least for voice)
