11 Apps without which I can’t work
Friday, 13 March 2009
There are some applications without which you can’t even use your computer productively. Have you ever thought to list them down? Here is my attempt to give ‘em enough credits.
- Firefox - My Cloud Operating System
- Thunderbird - This bird keeping a watch on my mails, Thank You!
- Terminal - shell is power, brings out the geek in you!
- Yakuake - Slides down and shows on your screen, then hides itself completely
- Amarok - Windows and Mac users, start Envying
- Geany - The simplest,lightweight and zero-bloat IDE
- VLC Media Player - The King of Video Players
- Pidgin - So many IM accounts, one central place to manage. Sweet!
- FileZilla Client - Who says CuteFTP is the best FTP Client? It sucks!
- XChat - IRC is still revelant you morons, you can’t avoid getting hooked to it!
- Twhirl / Twitterfox - Is there a life without Twitter?
Just hope that I didn’t miss anything. To err is human!

VLC might be the King, but m-player surely is the Prince of Video Players. Try it!

Yeah! I have heard a lot about MPlayer. I used it long back, but never tried to discover the real power behind it. Will surely give it a shot again.
By the way, I heard that it can play tracks even via command line. This is even more awesome!

mplayer can play videos on command line, though I think X has to be up for this. Smplayer is quite possibly the best front end to mplayer, IMO

Videos from command line!!
I checked the site of Smplayer, one of the most appealing feature is “it remembers the settings of all files you play. So you start to watch a movie but you have to leave… don’t worry, when you open that movie again it will resume at the same point you left it” — Quoting from their site
