I'm going to leave hardware out of this for the simple reason that given enough resources, as Paul Graham rightly said, we'd all want the fastest computer possible. It would also be nice to have a big, fast SSD and enough money that I could do all my heavy-duty number crunching on an EC2 cc1.4xlarge instance. It's just like my W500, but with more memory slots, more cores and the audio ports on the side where they belong. Other stuff: Chrome, Firefox, Quassel, Thunderbird (I actually like Evolution better, but it got unstable about my 3gb inbox), Virtualbox with WinXP and Win7.ĭream setup: the Thinkpad W510 looks pretty good. Other languages on occasion as appropriate. Occasionally have to deal with PHP, Javascript, Java and other cruft. I also have the whole trackpad set to work as a scroll surface, as I always use the trackpoint for a mouse.ĭev tools: Emacs, Git, Slime, Clojure, Ruby, Common Lisp on occasion, and sometimes I pretend to know Haskell. That solves some of the same problems as tiling. A few notable oddities: I have the WM configured to raise only on title/border clicks inner clicks focus without raising. No need for a desktop or any kind of subnotebook, though I do occasionally wish this machine had a couple dozen more cores. My only complaint is that the audio ports are on the front. It's a very solid machine with lots of CPU, GPU and screen resolution. Also working on a potential startup involving text classification.
Who am I: Freelance programmer - mostly web stuff. It will be the perfect setup when I get a Steelcase Airtouch desk, Ultimate Ears custom headphones, and a 30" monitor. HeadRoom Micro DAC/amp (fed from the digital output of an old EMU10K1 sound card) and DT880 headphones. Intel i7 (4 cores), 30G SSD for /, 1TB 3-way RAID-1 for /home, 24" Dell monitor, Embody chair, crappy desk, and iLift monitor mount. Want an Emacs utility? Just type it in and hit C-M-x.
CONNECTING CONTOUR SHUTTLE WITH LIGHTROOM CLASSIC CODE
(Want a different window arrangement? Just code it and hit Mod-Shift-q. It Just Works, and is easy to interactively fix. Most of my time is spent working or relaxing, rather than fighting with my setup. The idea is to reduce overhead anything I want to do is always a keystroke away. (Github is such a good tool that I pay for it, despite not needing any of the paid features! Irrational!)
Gnus for email, rcirc via irssi-proxy on a remote server for irc, bitlbee (via irssi) for Google Talk and AIM. Debian, xmonad, emacs, rxvt-unicode, conkeror, bash, git, perl, ghc, xmms2.
