Top Ten Application to be Installed

Friday, July 10th, 2009

After I bought a laptop and formatted it with Windows XP (I’m comfortable with XP than Vista) and installed its driver (drivers are included when you buy a laptop or any computer hardware), I still can’t fully utilize it without my top ten must-have application/program to be installed on my workstation. So here goes my list according to what I need and of course what I want..

Irfanview 4.10

Since the company I am working deals a lot with scanned documents such as contracts, pictures, certificates, passport, etc that needed to be kept and upload, we are required to deal with the Irfanview for proper uploading on the database.

QuickTime

My multimedia preference and suitable for Iphone, Itouch or any Apple products

Macromedia

Macromedia Fireworks, Macromedia Flash and Macromedia Dreamweaver are my list of Macromedia. Although I didn’t fully utilize them, they are great alternative for Adobe Photoshop, Moviemaker or PHP or Notepad.

Chrome

I got better viewing of my WordPress in Chrome than Internet Explorer plus I like their interface.

Skype or Yahoo Messenger

Must have messenger! You can contact me on my Skype account muffie.rojas and my Yahoo Messenger account m_f_t_rojas

Chikka

Don’t have any load? You can text for free using this messenger. But aside from sending message to computer, your message will be forward on the cell phone. You have different credits on Smart, Globe, US Mobile Phones, Cingular Wireless, Sun, Guam Cell, Saipan Cell, India Mobile Phones, , Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Alltel, Excelcomindo, Nextel, Boost, UK, Spain, 1528 Smart HK, Smart Pinoy Italy.

Adobe Photoshop

Do I need to explain?! Before uploading pictures, you need to at least resize, add designs, and of course edit your picture for more effect and to erase those unwanted pixel ha ha!!

Microsoft Visual Foxpro

My first fully learned program. Very usable in making a system in different unit or department plus it is very easy to utilize. I’ll be posting more FoxPro code on my upcoming articles.

Eset Antivirus

My workstation defense against viruses, spyware, root kits, and other internet attacks. Keeping my workstation and data safe from hackers and thieves.

Microsoft Office 2007

My all-around application that is being use. We have the MS Excel, MS Outlook, MS PowerPoint, MS Publisher, MS Word and MS Project. I‘m betting on Microsoft Office 2007, not that I don’t like the Microsoft Office 2003, but 2007 got more features than the latter and I’m used to 2007.

That’s it for now.. More Top Ten to come!
