  • BibDesk Mixed on

    I tried using BibDesk to manage that stuff in the GUI (and store PDFs alongside the references) but it didn't take.

    But it failed miserably and has now been replaced by a 1TB LaCie Starck drive.

  • ESS Uses

    ESS is an add-on to Emacs that allows you to do your data analysis inside the editor. It works with several statistics packages, but I do all my data work using it together with R.

  • Mighty Mouse Disliked

    I use the Mighty Mouse, which I don't particularly care for, and Apple's USB keyboard (the flat one, with the numeric keypad), which is tolerable but not great.

  • pandoc Uses

    If a document is going to be simple (a review, a lecture, a letter, etc), I usually write it in Markdown. This can be converted to pretty much any useful format by way of Pandoc.

  • emacs Mixed on

    There are many things I dislike about the writing/data/coding setup I use. Emacs carries so much baggage with it, it's tiresome.

    LaunchBar has a lot more functionality than I actually make use of.

    Fred Stutzman's two little apps, Freedom and Anti-Social, are increasingly necessary for my well-being.

  • Crashplan Liked

    After a few failed attempts at finding a good automatic offsite backup solution I recently began using Crashplan to mirror my wife's office computer on mine, and vice versa. It seems to be working out pretty well.

    1Password is the add-on I would miss most if it went away.

    I clone disks with SuperDuper. (Their customer support is terrific, by the way.)
