general
Apple : they make some
great looking computers and software
Borland : creators
of Delphi, Kylix and C++Builder
NaNoWriMo : The
National Novel Writing Month is a once-a-year challenge to write a 50000
word novel
Non-Sequitur:
very funny daily comic
Slashdot : a great
news source for everything computer-related
The Register
: another source for news, slightly more U.K.-biased
Tom's Hardware
: reviews about all kinds of computer hardware
UserFriendly
: great daily comics!
dsp
Music DSP archive
: lot's of information and links, maintained by Bram De Jong
DSP Guide : abook
all about dsp, completely online
TobyBear's site
: this is a wonderful site. Really. So what are you still doing here reading
... go check it out!
VST source code
archive : lots of example vst code to be found here
linux
Freshmeat : the
place to be if you're looking for any Linux application or library
Kernel.org : if you
want to compile a new kernel, this is where you should go. It doesn't
only have all the kernels, but also some libraries you need to compile
them.
KDE : really cool desktop
environment for X Windows. I love version 3.0
Linux.org : do I even
need to explain this one?
LinuxDocs : need
help with any part of Linux? Try this website, there's a very good chance
you'll find the information you need here
Linux on laptops
: I found this site invaluable when I installed Linux on my laptop. A
lot of very useful information covering just about any laptop out there
I think
OpenOffice.org
: the open-source version of StarOffice, available for Windows and Linux.
Soon(ish) also MacOS X
RpmFind : this is
a good place to visit if you're looking for rpm's (installable packages)
Sourceforge :
home of many open source projects. It's a bit overwhelming
music
CoolEdit : very
nice wave editor
Cubase : one of
the best known sequencers out there, from one of THE music software companies.
Generally a nice program, although it may be overkill for smaller projects.
You can also find Steinberg's Wavelab wave editor there
FL Studio : this
one is an obvious one, since I've done some of the work on it (most notably
the plugin support). It's really a great program, for most kinds of music.
Of course it's best suited for loop-based stuff, but since version 3.0
there's a piano roll, which allows more freedom. It got a 10/10 in Computer
Music
Logic Audio : another
well known sequencer. I personally like what they've done with the interface
from version 4, but I haven't actually worked with it yet. Too bad they
pulled support for the Windows version
Sonar : a new/improved
version of Cakewalk, now at version 3
Soundforge
: a great wave editor. It's the one I use when I've got waves to edit
:-). And in version 5 there's now also MP3 support
programming
Delphi DirectX
sdk : this is an sdk that allows you to create DirectX plugins in
Delphi (much like the name suggests).
Delphi-Jedi
: on this website dedicated to conversions of stuff from C/C++ to Pascal
you'll find tons of translated sdks.
tools
Miranda IM :
a very nice and light-weight icq client for Windows
mIRC : one of my favorite
irc programs (the other one is KVirc in Linux). I recommend it if you
spend any time chatting on irc
Total Commander
: a very nice replacement for Windows Explorer. Personally I'm very used
to the standard file manager in Windows, but I use this one for text file
comparisons. I now also use this program instead of Windows Explorer,
which for example allows you to treat archives (zip etc) as directories,
do file comparisons, provides a commandline, ... And best of all, it was
written in Delphi
WinZip : I think everyone
uses or at least knows this one. I use it for .zip management
