KeyCastr is a small Mac app that shows keystrokes as you perform them. This is useful especially for screencasts when you need to know what was pressed. The only Windows app I could find that does something similar is osdHotKey.

glTail is a pretty neat little script (make sure you check out the video on the homepage.. static image doesn't do it justice). It's a ruby script that creates a visual representation of log files.

gem install gl_tail
It requires an older version of net-ssh that you can [...]

My favorite apps is updated. After three years I've found quite a few more apps to use on Windows and I wanted to share them. Feel free to add your own favorites to the comments.

The network profiler thing on this is an amazing piece of work. If you're ever looking to do a performance assessment of a website [...]
I've used MRTG in the past. It's cool, but it's hell to configure. I just need something simple for a single server that just works.
Munin rules.. especially if you're on Ubuntu/Debian. It's good for monitoring multiple servers or just one. Here's a demo.
Install is pretty much:
sudo apt-get install munin munin-node
