I recently wiped my Mac laptop to upgrade to 10.5. (Finally! At least I installed Leopard before Snow Leopard comes out.) This post is mainly for me to list all the stuff I install -- a list I generated when scouring my machine before wiping it.

    p4
darwin ports (/opt/local)
ActivePython (all versions)
ActivePerl (/usr/local/ActivePerl-*...)
MySQL (/usr/local/mysql)

Growl
/Applications

    * Growl
    * Dropbox
    * Keynote
    * Pages
    * Colloquy
    * MySQL
    * AppTrap
    * OpenOffice
