Who am I? Code monkey that runs a modest software sweatshop in Orange County, CA
and is constantly scheming startups.
What Hardware Am I Using? 27" iMac i7 w/ 16GB ram
- Best Mac I've ever owned, hands down.
2.66GHz Quad-core Mac Pro w/ 8GB ram w/ 20" Cinema Display
- Surprisingly don't use this much
ever since I got my iMac. Mostly for testing third party hardware
like videos cards, etc with what I'm working on.
Dell Precision T3500 Xeon 2.4 GHz w/ 4GB ram
- My guinea pig machine for random shit
- Various Linux distros (FreeBSD, Ubuntu, and testing of new
builds of various)
Asus Rampage Gene III 3.06GHz i7 w/ 6GB ram & AMD Radeon HD5830
- Prototype hardware for a project I'm working on, picked for it's
north/south bridges and socket.
And what software? Tons...On Mac-native I use a ton of terminal/vi, Smultron, Xcode suite,
CS5 suite, and various others. VMWare and Parallels both...Some projects
only work in either/or, plus I just genuinely can't make up my mind.
Cyberduck for ftp. I use MAMP Pro to control a self-updated version of
my web services (apache, php, etc)
Don't know if you care, but of course I use all the normal command line
programs any nerd does...and for repos I prefer SVN only cause I used
CVS (don't hate on me yo) but I use git, hg, etc daily and love them
as well. Ultimately I'd be happy if everyone would just pick ONE.
I wouldn't care which cause they all have their strengths..
Browser I use Safari for casual, Firefox for primary development
(Firebug > Webkit Inspector) and I've got a verion of Chromium that
a buddy of mine and I made some cool changes to, but I haven't used it
recently cause it was forked from such an old trunk.
Web apps I use gmail (for all my mail), google docs, and mobileme.
Probably some various others from time to time.
What Is My Dream Setup? I used to have a Macbook Pro that got ruined in an apartment flood
6 months ago, so I've been thinking about replacing it with one of
those new 11" Macbook Airs. So sexy.
I'm actually working on my true dream setup as a startup. We've
only recently begun so it's a little self-absorbed to report much
more then that: http://mythologylabs.com
Like jesusabdullah said, almost limitless internet would be great
for a bajillion reasons.
