Daily dose of humor
- Piled Higher & Deeper
- A grad student comic strip.
- I Can Has Cheezburger
- lolcats for your lolz
- xkcd
- A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math and language.
Software I use now and then
Graphics
- Blender
- Open source software for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback.
- GIMP
- GNU Image Manipulation Program.
- hugin
- Panorama tools GUI.
- enblend
- Image blending with multiresolution splines, used together with hugin
Text editing
- vim
- Text editor with a fairly steep learning curve, not something that would make your average Windows user happy.
- LaTeX
- Creating typographically good-looking documents made easy. What everyone should be using...
- Kile
- LaTeX-IDE for KDE.
- Kate
- Another good editor.
- Quanta Plus
- KDE-IDE for web stuff.
GNU/Linux
- Linux
- I got tired of the instabilities of Windows, so switched to something different and never going back - unless someone forces me.
- Arch Linux
- Fast, no-nonsense Linux distribution, currently my favourite.
- Fedora
- I still keep a partition with the latest stable release.
- KDE
- And my favorite Desktop Environment.
Scientific/Programming
- Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux
- Yes, I know, its not open source, but that doesn't really matter (to me, at least).
- Intel Math Kernel Library
- For the occasional matrix inversion.
- ROBODoc
- Generates documentation in a variety of formats from source code. I use this because doxygen doesn't work with Fortran.
- CMake
- Cross platform makefile generator.
- Python
- I wrote some small scripts in python for Blender
- PLPlot
- Embeddable plot program (I use it together with Fortran and python)
- Octave
- Yet another Matlab replacement
- Maxima
- An open-source continuation of MACSYMA, the oldest symbolic number crunching software package.
- Matlab
- They really should get rid of the Java Virtual Machine, the GUI crashes every single time I use it on Linux...
- Maple
- Symbolic and numeric number crunching and this one even has a stable GUI.
