I was thinking of creating a top of favorite tools, services gadgets and apps i use on a daily/weekly base. So let’s make a start and i will try to update this page as often as possible.

Browser Plugins

  • Ghostery, If you don’t want to be followed by all the big million company’s turn this on in your browser.
  • uBlock, Turn of all those advertisers in your browser.

Apps

  • Wireshark, Capturing your packets was never this easy ;) (use my profiles to make life a bit easier)

  • OneNote, my notation app for everything i want to save!
  • Flow, Create and automate your workflows across multiple applications and services.
