Nikon Capture NX2 for editing raw nikon files. Can't beat it. I've never really understood light room and importing photos. But the colour control points in NX2 were and are fantastic. There are a number of really good plugins I've bought for it too.

I still use DVD Decrypter, mostly to rip old TV Series I have where I want the files split up by episode when ripping.

I was gonna say something like ping, but there's still a surprising amount of development going on for such a simple tool (40th anniversary, yay!): https://github.com/iputils/iputils/blob/master/ping/ping.c

So... retro games it is. Currently playing through Broken Sword (1996).

Elasto Mania (Elma). Awesome dirt bike game.

Picasa from Google is still the best photo library management tool I've ever come across.

I use windirstat all the time, although it's slow as shit I like the way it works.

In a previous life I did the occasional custom home theater remote control program job. Like Harmony, but better (I think). Anyway, my personal remote is a 20 year old remote with programming software from the same era.

The connection to the pc to upload the program is a serial Jack. My small form factor pc doesn’t have room for a permanent serial card, so I use a serial to usb adapter that’s 15 or so years old.

I’ve got the drivers for all of this stuff tucked away in multiple backups, alongside .txt files with notes on how to get it all going again, when, like this week, I add new gear and need to tweak the remote.
