Garden Of Blog

I thought it might be interesting to document my current software preferences in the categories that matter to me. How much will this list change in one, five or ten years?

These are my selections for best value, in many cases. Therefore, free software has the edge, if it has enough features to satisfy my requirements. There are also some rather expensive products on the list. Here we go:

operating system: OS X Tiger, or any *X
language: Perl
database: MySQL
browser: Firefox
email: Mail (Mac)
blog: WordPress
graphics: The GIMP
web editor: Macromedia Dreamweaver
audio editor: Adobe Audition
mp3 encoder: LAME version 3.91 (http://www.mp3dev.org/)
video editor: Final Cut Studio
text editor: BBEdit and vim
photo album: Flickr (service)

Not sure if I left anything off. I’ll edit this post if I think of anything.
