+Some things I found to be useful for daily programming.
+
+## Programming
+
+* [Geany](http://www.geany.org/): very fast IDE,
+ not the memory and CPU monsters out there like Eclipse/Netbeans.
+* [Valgrind](http://valgrind.org/): code analysis tool,
+ I use mainly the memory checker and the profiler.
+* [KCachegrind](https://kcachegrind.github.io/html/Home.html): graphical
+ profiler presenting runs of valgrind performance checks in a nice way.
+* [xxdiff](http://furius.ca/xxdiff/): 2 and 3-way graphical diff tool,
+ I use it because of nostalgia (aka: I got used to it).
+
+## C Programming
+
+* [Gengetopt](http://www.gnu.org/software/gengetopt/gengetopt.html):
+ parser for command line options
+
+## Database Modelling
+
+* [dbmodel](http://oxygene.sk/lukas/projects/dbmodel/): a very neat
+ database modeller with PDF and image export.
+
+## Infrastructure
+
+* [openSUSE Build Service](https://build.opensuse.org/): for building
+ release packages in the cloud.
+* Using [libvirtd](http://libvirt.org) now instead of VirtualBox
+ (sorry, Oracle). Main reason: it's still a little bit un-ready round
+ the edges but hey, it's really open source. :-)
+* [unison](https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/): file
+ synchronizer, I'm using it since years to sync my home directory
+ between three or four machines, sort of a very easy backup.
+* The backup from the local LAN to the cloud happens via FTP and some
+ copy jobs within [Bacula](http://www.baculasystems.com/).
+
+## Books
+
+* [The Pragmatic Programmer](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Pragmatic_Programmer):
+ an absolute must for every programmer.
+* [The Mythical Man-Month](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mythical_Man-Month):
+ an absolute must for everybody doing a project.
+* [AntiPatterns: Refactoring Software, Architectures, and Projects in Crisis](http://www.amazon.com/AntiPatterns-Refactoring-Software-Architectures-Projects/dp/0471197130):
+ avoid mistakes by learing from bad examples.
+
+## Other
+
+* [Ion3](http://tuomov.iki.fi/software/): tiling window manager with
+ strong keyboard and Lua scripting support. Sadly the original author
+ got into fights with the open source community :-(
+ I'm currently using the fork [Notion](http://notion.sourceforge.net/).
+ Read [http://raboof.github.io/notion/tour/](http://raboof.github.io/notion/tour/)
+ if you want to learn how to use such a window manager.
+* [Joe](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe's_Own_Editor): my editor for
+ all quick editing jobs. Having used a lot of Wordstar in my youth,
+ **jstar** is the editor I can't get rid of in my brain. :-)
+* [meh](http://www.johnhawthorn.com/meh/): as fast and easy an image
+ viewer can possibly get.
+* [MuPDF](http://www.mupdf.com/): an equally fast PDF/XPS viewer.
+* [Trojitá](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojit%C3%A1): a simplistic
+ and really fast mail reader (using this one if not using 'mutt').
+* [Seamonkey](http://www.seamonkey-project.org/): back to old SeaMonkey,
+ fast, no clue what they did to Firefox to make it so slow.
