Work PC
 

What applications do you have running when you are at work/collage/school? I have my e-mail running and what ever document working if I am connected to the curriculum server and if I am logged into the admin one I have my e-mail, the admin database and various documents up.

Does your company permit things like MSN and other chat programs?

I am just curious to see what people run on their pc's during the work day.

Re: Work PC
 

We can use MSN
I have IE6, pcAnywhere, outlook, remedy and excel currently open on my dual screens.
Soon I shall have nothing running as I will be on my way home :D (back in friday though for 5 nights! :cry: )

Re: Work PC
 

We can't have MSN, but I get around that with the web based version.

Other then that, MS Office, Lotus Notes, iTunes, Rational Tool Set, and other bespoke apps.

Re: Work PC
 

MS Office software for document creation, Outlook for staff/ personal email, Firefox 1.0 with extensions for browsing, Acrobat reader for pdf files, Irfanview for quickly viewing image files prior to printing and web messenger when I'm there late :(

Re: Work PC
 

At Uni we have MSN built in to Internet explorer.
We also have e-mail open, Office, Anti Virus, this print money calculator thing for how much money we spend on printing, and thats it.

Cant be bothered to do my audio/video work at Uni so I go home and do it there instead now I have a nice new PC.

Re: Work PC
 

Outlook, Access, Excel, 4 or 5 different Ntl applications and 3 or 4 Internet explorer windows to access other systems.

That's normally sitting in my toolbar at all times. A couple of other things will be open depending on what I'm doing.

Sadly no personal software allowed. No firefox or Opera here :(

Re: Work PC
 

We run thin clients at work, so we are restricted to what is on the servers at the Head Office.

So its basically Outlook 98 and Office 97 applications.

Power DVD
UT 2004 Tournament

and messenger if I go on-line via the bluetooth.

Re: Work PC
 

On a work computer :shocked: Unless your a games tester that's a pretty lax company you work for. :erm:

Mine has Win XP Pro, Office 2003 Pro (Word, Excel, Access, Outlook), Frontpage 2000, IE6, Outlook Express, Adobe reader, Winzip, Boinc Stuff. Panda Antivirus, Adaware, PDF Creator.

And I frequently use remote Desktop Connection to get at the varioous applications running on the server.

Then there's a few personal things, its a laptop so I use it at home too, including Scuba dive planning software, Games like SimCity

No MSN (it's horrible and never seemed to need it, anyway the traffic generated over the net if many were using it seems to slow down our network).

Re: Work PC
 

You could say it's pretty lax yup ;)

Re: Work PC
 

We are not technically allowed MSN but they don't block it. Laptop users here have a lot more freedom to install stuff on their own PCs than desktop users do. ;) I use MS Office stuff, IE a lot as our corporate web and intranet both use browser-based CMS, useful little freeware apps like Windowsizer and Puretext, Novell Groupwise for corporate email and diary, MS Publisher, Adobe Photoshop and Acrobat when I need to be creative.

Re: Work PC
 

Pretty much the same as others have posted.... although I've also got Call of Duty for lunchtime fun :D

And Filezilla and/or FlashFXP (depending upon my mood) for transferring customers' debug logs for me to pore over.

Oh, and a handy telnet client called KevTerm cause I'm too lazy to walk to our server room.

Re: Work PC
 

Well, I normally have two PCs and one Mac.

One PC runs Windows 2000 Server and is configured with various streaming servers (quicktime, Real, Windows Media), IIS and developer editions of Coldfusion Server and Flash Communication Server (enables two way comms with Flash Player). This PC is an elderly Celeron 600, and is used because when I play around with the configuration of something, I obviously don't want to be playing with the production servers..

The other PC is a Windows XP one. At the moment, it's awaiting repair (again - see my blog for details), but it normally has Office, thunderbird (for email), Opera (for browsing), the Macromedia products (Flash, Dreamweaver mainly, but also Director), the Adobe Products (Encore, Premiere Pro and Photoshop). Finally it has Cool Edit 2000 (my Boss won't pay the money to upgrade to Adobe Audition, which is the successor to Cool Edit), MSN Messenger and JASC Software's Paint Shop (this is almost as powerful as Photoshop, but far easier to use, so I use this unless I actually need Photoshop). I am helping one of the lecturers teach 3D Studio Max now, so that will also go on there.

The Mac has all the Macromedia stuff (Dreamweaver, Director, Flash, Freehand) and Photoshop. I don't actually use these programs on the Mac (I use this mac to administrate the Macs in the lab) but I use my Mac to create a disk image which is then copied to the Macs in the lab, so all the software needs to be installed.

I tend to have things like browser plugins (Adobe Reader, Quicktime, Windows media player, real player etc) that I have on all three.

Re: Work PC
 

Good selection there. I see most people sort of have the same like Office, E-Mail and Internet. If I had my own setup here at school I would have things like MSN, FTPs and many other things I want.

Re: Work PC
 

here at the moment, i have winamp, MSN, firefox, powershape (nasty 3d CAD software) and photoshop open here at the moment :)

on uni machines, usually only have powershape and web-MSN on, sometimes MatLab :)

Re: Work PC
 

My work machine is a linux laptop - I run gaim, Skype, Firefox Mplayer and Xine.

We used to have a quake server and a UT server that was available out of work hours. But they went a couple of years ago. :(

I am allowed to use the net as much as I like, but obviously I should use it mainly for business.

Re: Work PC
 

Windows Machine - PuTTy, Outlook, Excel, Word, Windows Terminal Services, Notepad, Internet Explorer, Trillian (Messenger)

Linux Machine - Kmail, Terminal, VNC, Mozzilla (oh yeah and i've got like samba server, iptables routing traffic to my windows machine, nessus for security testing, and apache)

Theres not a lot of restriction on what we use - theres a restriction that we only use licensed software of course.
