I use Microangelo, but I've heard good about this one[^].
[edit]
heh. I just read the requirements for icoFX:
- Intel Pentium / AMD Athlon processor or equivalent running at 2 Ghz or more
- 512 MB RAM (1 GB RAM recommended)
It's a fruggin icon editor!
It should require a 286 and 73 bytes of ram!
Can we spell "bloatware", children?

I kid you not. There were snow flurries a couple hours ago here in Philmont, NY.

Yesterday morning, in Chicago, when I walked the dog, there was a little snow on the grass. This morning there was a good amount of frost.

Now you know why it is called the great white north. Eah

Has to be because of global warming.

Maybe it's not snow but ashes. 
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

We had snow on Tuesday and Wednesday in Madison, WI. Driving in seeing ice on people's cars was a bit strange. Since it is going to be in the 70's tomorrow and early next week.
All I have to say is that I'm moving back south.

Now, I am not interested in a VB versus C# debate but.
In my job I only spend about 20% of my time coding. Being from a C# background anything new I would normally do in C# (and yes very occasionally VB), but I also have to maintain old VB code (and heaven forbid, very occasionally VB6).
Normally I spent a month or two in each language (depending on the task at hand) and are happy in any camp. Changing back and forth between languages is relatively straight forward, but lately I noticed it takes me longer to get back into swing of C#.
And the reason..
Well, I think its because I've got myself into bad c# typing habits from using vb. I seem to be wasting so time chasing missing / misplaced { }, forgetting semicolons case sensitivity and ()'s.
Now semicolons, case and () problems are just a "Oh Bugger" moment, but as for missing / misplaced { } 's. They can be time waster.
For all you pro c# developers, Do you have any tips on keeping these damn { } under control?

I find that after spending a day doing Ruby programming, my soul cries out to at least write a few lines of C# code in the evening. Ah...
But to your question, my fingers are so programmed to type {} whenever I write a method, I can't really help you there. In fact, in Ruby where occasionally one does use {} I get really pissed off at the IDE for auto-completing the closing }. Or ] or ). Hmmm...I bet there's a way to kill that in RubyMine.

I main problem I seem to is after a lot of if, Switch or whatever and you end up with a lot of
}
}
}
}
and then trying to figure which } belong with which {

Dang, doesn't the IDE (dimly, I'll grant) light up the matching braces?
[on my high horse] If you have that much nesting, maybe you should break the function apart into smaller calls? [/on my high horse]

Yes, very dimly. Makes it hide to find when you have to scroll to see it.
Just have to remember the Left brace, right brace, back arrow, code... dance move...
