Hey everyone. There is so much cool stuff out there that no one knows about except you.
Lets share our favorite unique appz that we use to increase productivity, decrease productivity, blog, monitor systems, whatever. If it is cool, or you think it is cool, let the world know.
Here is an app that monitors CPU, hard drives, IP, all on my desktop.
Cool and free.
BTW, links to cool stuff would be awesome!
Looking forward to seeing some cool appz, scripts, etc.

thanks blindpilot, that app sounds like a fucking godsend!
on the matter of flash, would you or anyone happen to know how to test more complex preloaders that invoke the loadMovie function?
testing directly from flash (even with the bandwidth profiler active) doesn't seem to like multi-level movies using alot of external files, often causing me to upload to an external server and test (time-consuming)
my first born to anyone who can help

UNDO:
Yeah there is a decent way to check out those flash movie's - I spent months looking for a program to limit your bandwidth so you can check it out.
here it is, and its free:

it sits in your system tray and you can set the bandwidth of your net connection. you can turn it on and off.
then just navigate to your movie in your webbrowser like you normally would and voila!!

Right click on virtually ANY sort of media file to preview it....
* Images (previews / gives dimensions / can create contact sheets from multiples / etc etc)
* Movies
* Audio
* Fonts (yes - fonts)
All very very fast too, super fast preview of images - SO useful, I can't recommend this highly enough.

I'm a big fan of ConTEXT. I use it as a PHP editor but it has color coding for almost any type of text-baseed file you can think of.

Trillian (already mentioned, but it allows you to run AOL, MSN Messenger, Yahoo, ICQ and IRC at the same time - in one program). www.trillian.cc
www.vcdhelp.com - everything you wanted to know about VCD, DVD ripping/encoding, SVCDs, ripping audio from video files, etc
www.dbpoweramp.com - the best MP3 encoder available (also has a built-in shell option whereby you just hover the mouse over your MP3 file and it will give you all the stats on it - KBps, time, etc)

for osx look for Cacophony you'll find it on the apple osx downloads site in audio, its a great shareware(but doesnt restrict usage or features at all) multitrack audio editor . Really great and of course Adium as an aim replacement.
