    Logitech diNovo Edge

    Their words

    One other nice touch is the Logitech diNovo Edge keyboard. I'm a fast typist but am very sensitive to the feel and layout of the keyboard; I've been using this one long enough that I've worn the lettering off the keycaps and I'm still pleased to have it.

    Intel SSD

    Their words

    My desktop is a fairly run-of-the-mill quad-core box, except that I did put a nice Intel SSD into it.

    HP 2510p

    Their words

    The laptop is an HP 2510p with a nine-cell battery. I do a lot of traveling to conferences and such; the laptop is heavily optimized for light weight and long battery life.

    Netgear WNDR3700v2

    Their words

    One shouldn't neglect the Netgear WNDR3700v2 router running OpenWRT; I wouldn't dream of getting on the net without it.

    Cowon J3

    Their words

    I've replaced it with a Cowon J3, which is an entirely nice piece of hardware, but I do miss Rockbox.

    Rawhide

    Their words

    Rawhide is not for the faint of heart; it has occasional tendency to explode at inopportune times. But it's one of the best ways I've found to keep right on the bleeding edge of software development in the Linux community without spending all my time building stuff.

    Claws

    Their words

    All mail clients suck, but I've not found one that sucks less than Claws at the moment.

    SpamAssassin

    Their words

    Needless to say, I would go insane without SpamAssassin.

    NoScript

    Their words

    Other useful stuff includes gnucash for personal finance management (though, alas, I've not yet found anything good enough to run a business with), Firefox for the net (as much as anything because it has NoScript, which I'd hate to be without), and rsync for managing directory trees and moving them around.

    CyanogenMod 7

    Their words

    It's running CyanogenMod 7, of course; alas, it looks like an Android 4-based CM for the Nexus One isn't in the offering anytime real soon.

    Nokia N9

    Their words

    I do also have a Nokia N9 that I use sometimes. It's a very nice piece of hardware with software that showed a lot of promise.

What is a korrent?

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at korrents.com.

Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said. The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who else holds it.

Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

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.
