I am so ready to get back to writing code.

Software

Professional Notepad - Text editor with syntax highlighting, clickable links, templates, and regular expressions. $18 shareware.
MSRA Search Result Clustering Toolbar - IE search toolbar from Microsoft Research. Searches MSN or Google, and when you search MSN it will find and display clusters within the results.
Yahoo! Desktop Search Beta - A rebranded version of the X1 tool. I haven't figured out what this means to those of us who bought X1, but I know it's a good tool.
RSS Popper - Free news aggregator for Outlook, currently in beta. (via MS Exchange Blog)

.NET Fusion Workshop - Richard Grimes offers a highly detailed online workshop about the details of how .NET locates assemblies. (via Scott Hanselman)

Team Agile - Roy Osherove has cut the corporate ties and launched his own consultancy, focusing on training and mentoring in agile development. Even if you're not in the market you might want to visit his interviews page for some audio goodness.
