What do you usually use for:

Operating System: (Mac) OS X – Tiger
Screen Resolution:1280×854
Web Browser: Firefox

E-Mail: GyazMail – ok, I still and forevermore regret the loss of Agent for email. But GyazMail isn't bad. I find it's more powerful than Mail (the native mac program) but it doesn't have Mail's smartfolders. Er. I don't actually remember why I like it better than Mail, but I do. It's still not Forte's Agent. <sob> (Please, please, please you guys, develop an OS X version. But don't tie it to the intel chip.)

Word Processor/Office Program: NeoOfficeJ – perfectly good office suite, opens and will save as word/excell files. OpenOffice is also available for Windows.
Text Editor: TextWrangler

Instant Messenger: Adium (does AIM, YIM, MSN, ICQ, Jabber, Google Talk, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, Lotus Sametime, Novell GroupWise)
Image Editing/Manipulation: iPhoto and ::shudder:: Gimp. I'm seriously considering now using Photoshop Elements.

Media Player: iTunes and QuickTime
LiveJournal Client: xJournal
DVD Watching: DVD Player (Mac program)

And I'm adding these:

IRC: Colloquy – because Adium doesn't do IRC yet
Finances: Moneydance – fantastically better than ::shudder:: gnuCash, and just as good as Quicken, without getting raped by Intuit. Also available for 'nix and Windows.

HTML Editor: Taco HTML Edit – cute little HTML editor when you're too lazy to use TextWrangler. (Which, btw, would be a fantastic tool for writing web pages if I was a little less lazy about it)
RSS Aggregator: NetNewsWire – fantastic RSS reader. Will import podcasts into iTunes as well. Also, it will post news articles directly to various flavors of journals, LJ included.

FTP: Cyberduck – yeah, so I'm too lazy to learn the ftp command line. This is a pretty good program for ftp.

WTF???? Also I get logged out every time I turn around and I HAVE the freakin' “remember me” box set.

Fuckers.

This shit isn't necessary people.

OMG. It's because I don't want to see styles that make my eyes bleed. It's the ?style=mine parameter.

Well, fuck.

There's still no reason to use a fucking cookie for that.

Gah.

Duck! And Cover!

FEMA, an agency within the DHS, already has a program preparing children for disasters. “FEMA for Kids” (www.fema.gov/kids) includes a pudgy and nervous-looking airplane leaking a trail of smoke, a hermit crab mascot named “Herman,” and a song with a rap beat:

“Disaster . . . it can happen anywhere,

“But we've got a few tips, so you can be prepared,

“For floods, tornadoes, or even a 'quake,

“You've got to be ready — so your heart don't break.”

The more things change…

Must do today. Must do today. Must do today.

Change sheets
Put away laundry (Mostly done. Close enough.)
Clean off kitchen table/Moneydance
Make dent^W deep scratch in kitchen

I learned something today. I learned that real maple syrup goes bad, even unopened.

I think it was well on its way to being some kind of alcoholic beverage. And not a good kind.

Luckily, I smelled it and tasted it before I put it on my french toast.

So my bestest, oldest friend finally got an LJ account. We've been friends since 7th grade, which was at least an eon ago.

According to our last phone call, her little sister's (who is 14, I swear she's 14, she can't possibly have grown up and had kids and..) daughter is nine years old now.

That can't be. I have a baby photo of that kid, she can't be nine.

So yeah. Eons.

Anyway, welcome !

(psst. Don't scare her.)
