Software
Computer applications and software development.
Applications
Some of my favourite applications at the moment. I'm enjoying shareware small apps rather than "suites" ...
Opera
Small, fast, not bloat-ware, not MS ... Also: Supports HTMLv4 and CSS properly. Downsides -- doesn't support the non-standard shit that everyone uses...
Notetab Pro
Very powerful editor for HTML and more...
Macromedia fireworks
Unreal, great for slicing images and automatically generating javascript rollovers -- guess how I did most of my site?
CodeDigger
Proves itself indespensible within about 1 hour of downloading. Makes me wonder how I ever coded without it for all these years!
Demos
There are more demo programming links on my old page
Simulating Waves
Has a link to my site :)
Development

Perl
What can I say? loving it...

A good, complete, perl distribution for Win32 that doesn't require a C compiler to get running...
ActivePerl Help
Comprehensive on-line POD...
A Guide to Lex & Yacc
I was thinking of writing my homepage generator program in C++ using some kind of tool like this before I found Perl/XML. eg Bison, which is a C++ version of Yacc (from memory).
STL Programmer's Guide
Really useful help on the C++ Standard Template Library.

I love fiddling about with digital graphics and artwork...

Alan Suel Gallery
Corel
Corel Draw (I've got version 8) is a great piece of software. Unfortunately, it is not quite as intuitive or conducive to creative work as I would like.
Metacreations
These guys make some fantastic graphics software. I have Painter and love it. I would love to get Poser, Bryce and KPT too... One day... The Image of the Day Gallery is often inspiring but far too much is rendered... They also have some neat Tips and Tricks for using their products.
Fractint
This has been the best fractal program for years. Really cool.
Ultra Fractal
Not quite as good as Fractint in general, but lets you create some fantastic fractal images by overlaying different fractals with photoshop like layers.
LaTeX
LaTeX is pretty cool, though often too much trouble...

98lite
This is a cool idea. Optimize Win98 from the point it enters your computer.
Linux
I don't actually run linux, but it is interesting and I have it on good authority that it's "the shit" ...
