Here I will put resources that i find useful and i hope you do also. If you want to recommend any resources to me then you can do so here.

Blogs & Websites

Blog sites that get me through my day

4GuysFromRolla - There is always some great tips and tutorials here to help enhance your knowledge.
CodeProject - An amazing resource for people to share projects with the world!
C-SharpCorner - Another useful site for tip & tutorials
Scott Guthrie - He is the god of asp.net!! Very useful for keeping up to date with asp.net/Microsoft related info.

Online Tools & Services

Free online tools that you can take advantage off!!

DOC to PDF - On this site, you upload your document and its gets emailed to you in a few minutes when it is ready. I used this allot in college when handing up my project documents because PDF looks more professional than DOC. NOTE: I would advise not using this with any confidential documents.
Image Optimizer (GIF, JPG, + PNG) - This site will convert and optimize your images online for free. Very useful when you want to display transparent PNG images in IE without using the CSS filter hack so I convert them to gif.
Image to Icon - I used this site to create my URL icon that you can see in the address bar. I created a quick tutorial that can be found here that will quickly show you how to add it to your site.
Monitor your website - I use the free version that pings my sites every hour and gives me daily reports on the uptime. I have changed hosting just because of this site. Would recommend the paid version if you have a critical application and want it monitored every minute and want an SMS alert when it is down.
Stat counter for your website - If you have a site and you want to track your visitors then this site is great. All you need to do is create an account + then add some JavaScript code to your site. Fast, easy and effective!
Validate CSS - If you have done work with CSS then I would be disappointed if you haven’t already used this site to validate your CSS code to make sure it is compliant on all browsers and so you keep your IE hacks in a different CSS file.

Here are some sites that are great to get free images or icons:

Here are free security programs that i always make sure to have running on my computers.

It can tell you the average response time from a user. It can also do lots lots & lots more. Its defo worth a try!!
UltraVNC - This is a nice piece of free software that will allow you to display the screen of another computer (via internet or network) on your own screen. I use this alot at home to control my media pc which is connected to my plasma screen. So now my laptop is like my new remote control!
FlashGet - This is a handy piece of software to manage all your downloads. You can make multiple connections to a download to improve your download speed. If you use FireFox then you should also download the FlashGot Add-On.
