Software
List of programs I use including short remarks explain interesting details or remarkable features.
Audio
- foobar2000 (Windows)—best library manager, flexible tagger, including CD ripping.
- beets (Linux)—from the makers: Beets is the media library management system for obsessive-compulsive music geeks. Guilty as charged.
Development
Document processing
- LaTeX—TeXLive distribution, TeXstudio editor. My favourite package TikZ can create awesome examples of diagrams, vector drawings and with additional libraries splendid data displays. Don't get put off by its enormous 1100 page manual – it starts with 4 excellent tutorials that explain all essential basics. I wrote my thesis using documentclass memoir, sans-serif text and math and many other packages.
- Presentations—LaTeX with package beamer and a custom theme. See a complete example presentation for combined use of many packages, including excessive use of overlay specifications for granular revealing of slide content.
Graphics
- GIMP—2D image manipulation
Scientific
- Bibliography management—BibTeX files are collected and managed through JabRef. For literature comparisons I create dedicated, hand-tailored spreadsheets for flexible sorting and filtering.
- Mathematical modelling—GLPK and its MathProg language. Examples for energy system modelling: MathProg energy models on GitHub.
- Scientific Python stack—Python, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib and dozens of other packages combined allow to go far with few lines of code. Reference examples: urbs, a mathematical optimisation tool for future energy systems; rivus, a mathematical optimisation model for energy networks with emphasis on spatial aspects.
Text editing
- Notepad++ (Windows)—my recommendation for those who do not require a good cross-platform text editor with good syntax highlighting for every language and comprehensive whitespace settings (tabs VS spaces, configurable for each language).
- jEdit (Windows, Linux)—my personal pick. It covers the essential features of Notepad++ and comes with pretty handy default splitting (try <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>-<kbd>1</kbd> to <kbd>4</kbd>)
- Vim—steep entry barrier, but then there is a steady, long learning curve ahead an virtually no cap on what can be accomplished with this beast of an editor. On Windows, I use it through Cygwin (see under Development).
Video
- VLC—just works. Plays videos.
