Uses Lenovo T520
It's being replaced with a Lenovo T520 with a "Thinkpad Mini Doc Plus Series 3 170W" dock (that's what they call it!) that supports 3 external monitors.

Disliked Motorola XT 860
I had a jailbroken iPhone 3GS till its cell receiver died making it a very thick and expensive iPod, so now I've got a Motorola XT 860 because I wanted a physical keyboard. Guess what, it's kinda sucky too!

Loved Kindle
I guess I should mention I also got a 3G Kindle which I love and a Withings scale that posts my weight to Twitter, which is lots of fun, but also kinda cheesy because every post has their URL slapped on the end of it.

Uses AutoHotKey
AutoHotkey - I used to use a program called Winkey, but that got discontinued, so now I use this. It's free software that lets you map all sorts of actions to the keyboard.

Liked Winamp
Winamp - I've tried a bunch of other music players but always come back to Winamp because it's small and has global hotkeys.

Liked Textpad
Textpad - text editing software that I do most of my writing and development in. It gets out of the way when you need it but has great features like regular expression search/replace (so handy!) and search-in-files, which I use quite a bit too.

Recommends Ultramon
Ultramon - a must when working with multiple monitors. The keyboard shortcuts for moving windows around are insanely useful. Worth every penny.

Recommends Dropbox
Dropbox - everyone should be using Dropbox. I've got their 100GB option because it's totally worth it.

Loved Logitech MX mouse
Oh! And Logitech's new MX mice are amazing. Comfortable, awesome, and with buttons that make the scroll wheel transform. It's the first mouse I've loved.

- why are there several emoji for blood (🩸🅰️🆎🅱️🅾️) yet no emoji accounting for excesses of the other three humors? for phlegm, nothing. for yellow bile, nada. and for black bile, zippo. an astonishing oversight 14 Oct 2026

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.
