Re: Open Source or Free web aps that make your life easier

Irfanview Nice image editing. Best feature is the ability to batch process images. Want to make all images the same size for a web page? Use this.
I use ImageMagick for command line batch image editing. Its probably just another way to do the same thing. My dad and I have used it in the past with a python script or two to decide which images are too big in our collection and scale those down accordingly.

I don't know if this quite fits on this list, but I use wpa_supplicant for wireless configuration, and am able to get it to fire off a script after it connects to the school wireless network. The script uses Lynx to navigate the website to log me in to the campus network.

I love the "locate" tool. It is similar to "find", but it uses a database, so you can search your entire hard drive an order of magnitude faster.

I don't know how I could live without VIM (text editor). I imagine that other people feel the same way about EMACS and Notepad++.
