I still use Font Renamer to manage my font collection. It works great but hasn't received an update since 2008. Even the website looks straight out of the Windows XP era.

Up until recently I was using FreeCap, which is a SOCKS5 wrapper, to allow me to connect to my home stuff from work (via an SSH tunnel). They didn't allow VPNs but were cool with me doing that. My new job doesn't allow those kind of shenanigans, so I guess it's retired for the time being.
