There couple of free tools that make our life easier and we would like to share this information with you.
Such tools are:
Pixie
http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.html
Pixie is an easy-to-use, fast and tiny utility designed especially to fit the needs of Webmasters and Designers. Its a colour picker that includes a mouse tracker. Run it, simply point to a colour and it will tell you the hex, RGB, HTML, CMYK and HSV values of that colour. You can then use these values to reproduce the selected colour in your favorite programs. Pixie will also show the current x y position of your mouse pointer. It's the only tool you'll need for working with colours.
PIXresizer
http://bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm
PIXresizer is a photo resizing program to easily create web and e-mail friendly versions of your images with reduced file sizes.
The reduced files are saved in a different folder, so your original images are not altered at all. PIXresizer offers several different resizing methods to choose from and can automatically recognize image sizes to calculate the best fit. In addition, it can convert between image formats (JPEG, GIF, BMP, PNG and TIFF), rotate images, convert to grayscale and resize multiple images in batch mode. A great companion for webmasters and digital photographers.
Internet Explorer 5 Web Developer Accessories
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie6/previous/webaccess/webdevaccess.mspx
These tools help the Web developer or those just curious about how pages are coded. The DOM tree tool lets you view all the Document Object Model properties in tree form via the tools menu or a right-click of the mouse. And for those who are tired of scrolling through hundreds of lines of HTML to find that one section of code that does what you want, search no more-now you can simply highlight the area of the Web page for which you want to view the source, right-click on it, and select "View Partial Source." Not supported by Microsoft.
Most important (at least for us!) features such as view the code for the particular area of the page work fine in IE 6 and 7.
Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar

The Microsoft Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar provides a variety of tools for quickly creating, understanding, and troubleshooting Web pages.
Integrio Uptime Scout
This is the application we developed to monitor the uptime of your website. You can get more information here. We use it in addition to the commercial web based website uptime monitoring - in many cases it produces results faster, as notification immediately pops up on your screen (SMS and email delivery sometimes takes time), and one can set monitoring interval as low as 1 minute.
