    • Uses iTerm2
      For shell sessions I don't go through X; instead, I run iTerm2 and then connect to remote screen sessions via ssh.

    • Loved zsh
      Inside the screen sessions, I run zsh. (The day I figured how cool zsh is, a hawk came and rid me of the white dove.)

    • Disliked Concrete5
      My personal website uses Concrete5, but I'm unhappy with it, it's too damn slow

    • Uses Thunderbird
      For email I use Thunderbird with the Nostalgy extension. For browsing I use mostly Chrome in conjunction with the goo.gl URL Shortener, Reddit Enhancement Suite, and Tampermonkey.

    • Uses Sennheiser HD 280 Pro
      For communication I use an iPhone 4S (from work), which I often connect to Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones to listen to music.

    • Disliked Digital Media Pro 1031
      I tried a few others, including Microsoft's Digital Media Pro 1031 wireless keyboard. The meta keys don't match the Mac all that well, so I gave up on that.

    • Uses Logitech M510
      When at the desk I also connect a stock Apple flat keyboard. I tried a few others, including Microsoft's Digital Media Pro 1031 wireless keyboard. The meta keys don't match the Mac all that well, so I gave up on that. Finally I use a Logitech M510 wireless mouse.

    • Loved Dell E1705
      My "work away from work" machine is an 2007-vintage Dell E1705. I recall I got the cheapest machine I could (read: Dell outlet) featuring a 17-inch display with 1920x1200 resolution. I didn't care for speed as by then I was already equating "computing" with "cluster", but I wanted good resolution so I can cram as much information on the screen as possible. I grew fond of that machine. I can't ask more from a laptop keyboard (which, unlike the MacBook's, has two Ctrl keys and doesn't have "cut wrists" on its feature list). It's been through a doctorate and a book, and has the scars to prove it.

    • Loved Sierra Wireless 598
      While on the road I plug a USB Sierra Wireless 598 device from Sprint for 3G connectivity. It has a MicroSD memory in tow and is a great little device - it just works. Never had any trouble with it.

Where they publish

About the English under a post

Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.

The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.

Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
