More Software
How could I have forgotten Vim on my Software I Can’t Live Without page? (Warning: Unix text editor, and strictly for the most hardcore users)
Also added iTunes, Exact Audio Copy, 7-Zip, AVG, OpenOffice, and Perl. Even though some of these aren’t quite in the category “can’t live without,” sooner or later they get installed when I need them for something.

One of my classmates back in high school upon coming in and seeing me there 5 minutes early.
I got an A in that class.
