Who am I?
American salaryman by day, wantrepreneur by night.
What Hardware am I Using?
Just a lenovo T500 w/ windows 7 (and ubuntu virtualbox),
and an iphone 3G (soon to be a nexus one).
The iphone is jailbroken on tmobile, and I'm not a fan of how
there's no springboard widget support, nor the pains of trying to
maintain a jailbroken iphone.
I use a pair of Meelectronics M6(?) earbuds which are a steal.
At work i use a Desktop running windows xp and 2 24" monitors.
And what software?
real apps: Virtuawin, enso, chrome dev builds, Visual studio, vim, picasa,
and itunes (more of a winamp guy though), and sumatra pdf for reading books.
f.lux is awesome, and seems to work better than redshift
cloud apps: picasa web, irccloud, and countless other google apps
What is my dream setup?
I want a laptop the size of a macbook air, but with a desktop-fast processor
that is largely disabled on battery, but fires up when docked at home.
It must also be dead silent, and seamlessly dock to a desktop graphics card.
I used to only use a desktop machine 5-6 years ago. and I'm coming to
realize doing everything on one big honking laptop sucks. Laptops are
terrible ergonomically. Part of me still wants to travel
and work though. So I also want a big display that I can roll up in my backpack,
and an ergonomic chair i can pack easily too.
Lastly, I want a cheap offsite backup setup that let's me upload/backup tons
of stuff without much thought. I also want ZFS/Freenas to be more drobo-like.
I'd buy a drobo in a heartbeat if they said it just used ZFS and I never heard
horror stories about them.
Realistically, I'm likely going to get either a desktop or x201s+dock or
hp envy 14, notion ink tablet, and a quiet low power freenas system.
