  • Tweetie Mixed on

    I keep iChat running (for Jabber), and also Tweetie (it hasn't been updated in forever, but it's good enough for my low-level Twitter usage).

  • iSSH Liked

    I also have iSSH on the iPad (and iPhone, etc). That lets me ssh into a server and run Emacs over 3G. Yes, this is my greatest computer dream. Emacs anywhere!

  • Inform 7 Uses

    Programming? Xcode for the iPhone work; Inform 7 for text adventures; everything else is Emacs and a command line.

  • Audio Hijack Pro Uses

    Music and TV shows are set up in iTunes, with Audio Hijack Pro to redirect music out a USB port.

  • iCab Liked

    But when I do want to see a full web site, design and all, I fire up iCab or Safari. Both are perfectly nice web browsers.

  • TextWrangler Liked

    My text editing slides back and forth between Emacs and TextWrangler; neither is dispensable.

  • Pine Uses

    When I read email, I swear, I'm ssh'd into a shell account and running Pine.

  • Lynx Liked

    I use Lynx for moment-to-moment browsing. It's all-text, fixed font, black-on-white, no JavaScript or Flash or blinking or borders… it's just more comfortable to read blogs and news articles this way.

  • emacs Uses

    I always have Emacs up, in one Terminal. A couple more generally have Lynx.

  • Matias Tactile Pro Loved

    They've also got Matias TactilePro keyboards. Because if your typing doesn't sound like a hailstorm on a tin roof, you're not typing.

  • Dell U2410 Mixed on

    The 17" Apple Studio Display that I bought with it died a couple of years ago (touch-sensitive power switch went wonky) so I dropped in a Dell U2410 monitor. The Dell is awfully nice, except that it has that OLED color oversaturation problem.
