FreeScrub
FreeScrub is a PyGTK based application which will scrub EXIF and other metadata out of images and documents. This is useful for people who want to publish images and documents without revealing any information about their location, their camera or their computer hardware. It’s also quite useful for web developers as it reduces the size of the file by removing unneccesary text strings embedded inside files.
Works on Linux and Windows, with support for PNG, PDF, and JPEG files.
Gow
Gow (Gnu On Windows) is the lightweight alternative to Cygwin. It uses a convenient “Windows installer” that installs about 130 extremely useful open source UNIX applications compiled as native win32 binaries. It is designed to be as small as possible, about 10 MB, as opposed to Cygwin which can run well over 100 MB depending upon options.
Lorem Ipsum Generator
Lorem Ipsum Generator provides a GTK+ graphical user interface, a command-line interface, and a Python module that generate random “lorem ipsum” text. The Lorem Ipsum Generator can produce a given quantity of paragraphs or sentences of “lorem ipsum” text.
I like the fact that LIG goes the extra mile and uses an English language reference text and Markov chains to generate convincing word and sentence lengths in the text it generates.

Musictube is a YouTube music player. With it you can listen to millions of songs on YouTube in a convenient way, much like using a traditional player. Musictube plays album tracks in their original order and integrates album covers, artist pictures and lyrics.
Using YouTube as a music library is a nice bit of lateral thinking. I like the fact that you can choose ‘live’ and ‘cover’ modes to listen to alternate versions of songs, too.
