Did you know that Quicksilver development has ceased? I believe the original dev now works on QuickSearchBox at Google. http://code.google.com/p/qsb-mac/ In any case, qsb is maintained and has many new features.
Inspired by usesthis.com and the response here I created this site: http://hnsetups.com/
Most frequently used software: Debian, xmonad, emacs, rxvt-unicode, conkeror, bash, git, perl, ghc, xmms2. Gnus for email, rcirc via irssi-proxy on a remote server for irc, bitlbee (via irssi) for Google Talk and AIM. Github and Gist for collaboration. (Github is such a good tool that I pay for it, despite not needing any of the paid features! Irrational!) The idea is to reduce overhead; anything I want to do is alwa…
Very similar here, but I still use XChat. Do you use anything on irssi to give you desktop notifications? I know it's a matter of taste (some people hate interruptions) but I really need alerts when I receive IMs or a coworker brett:'s me in work IRC. (And for that matter, why not ERC?)
The deeper issue is, what are you doing at work that can't be done inside Emacs? You don't need sound if you are already in Emacs!
(Why not ERC? Read the code. That's why.)

Also, Easynews is a lot easier than Giganews. Visit web page, type name of TV show, download. Very easy. If you are willing to deal with NNTP, then you have unlimited bandwidth. Great service :)

Why did you go for the mass market headphones when you could get high-end audiophile headphones for the same price? (Sennheiser HD650, Beyerdynamic DT880, etc.) Also, Easynews is a lot easier than Giganews. Visit web page, type name of TV show, download. Very easy. If you are willing to deal with NNTP, then you have unlimited bandwidth. Great service :)
If I was solely buying for myself and no one else, I would have gone a different route. something like a FiiO E5 paired with Grados. When I lived in Atlanta I had a nice combo of Rokits + PreSonus: http://paulstamatiou.com/how-to-upgrade-to-studio-monitor-sp...
[1] for a long time my blog paid my rent exclusively (but just barely), allowing me to do full-time startup stuff for the last 2+ years. only just recently started getting a small stipend at work
* MacBook of some kind (currently 11" MBA) + 30" Apple Cinema Display + wireless keyboard + Magic Mouse * Terminal.app * TextMate * Git * Safari * Chrome * Homebrew * Xcode * Transmit * Tweetie * Adium * Skype * Mail.app * Colloquy * Cinch * Dropbox * Evernote * And a whole bunch of command line tools. Run "history | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n" to find your most common. Mine are: rm, mv, make, cd,…
"history | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -10"
Gives a slightly better output.
Laptop: Dell Latitude D830 (over 2 years old), Core 2 Duo T9300 2.5GHz, 4GB RAM, Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
Workstation 1: HP Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz, 16GB RAM, Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise
Workstation 2: Dell Core 2 Quad Q6700 2.66GHz, 16GB RAM, Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise
2 Dell 20 inch monitors plus the laptop screen Single mouse and keyboard - both plain Logitech models.
Software I'm regularly using:
Outlook, our internal ticketing system, Visual Studio 2008, Eclipse, Notepad++, Cygwin, Baretail, Baregrep, IE, Firefox, the products we support, various other internal tools.
At home:
I primarily use a Core i7 - quad core + hyperthreading, 6GB RAM, 120GB SSD, runs Windows 7 Ultimate.
I use a 1st gen Macbook Air for music and light web browsing, and I have an older desktop that I use as a media PC. Also a Dell laptop - 1 year old that was mostly replaced by the Core i7 desktop. I also have an Acer netbook that I use when traveling.
Finally, I also have a hosted server running CENT OS - quad core Xeon w/ 8GB RAM for hosting various sites and personal projects.
I use pretty much everything. In terms of hardware, I mostly use:
Dell XPS M1530 for day to day work. Possibly the best laptop I've ever had.
Sony SRX 51-P/B (with a Mighty 128mb of Ram and a P3-850 CPU) for home stuff. I'm hoping to move to an MBA after Lion is released and the bugs are worked out.
Mac Mini in the living room for Music, video and photo editing, playing media and browsing HN. This is plugged into a 32" Dell LCD and a Samsung HT C5500 home theatre system.
An iPhone 4 for music/everything on the go. I prefer the stability of my 3G, but it's just too slow these days so iPhone 4 it is. To make matters worse I'm mostly ambidextrous but switch between left and right hand on a phone, so I had to get a mophun pack so I could hold it in my left hand.
I use a Samsonite backback for lugging things around. I don't go to the US so I don't need to worry about TSA searches.
I also have a set of sony iphone headphones that do the job well. They're not quite sennheisers but they have an inline volume control.
I've been using a moleskin notebook for writing things down (instead of a cheap pad). It's not worth the extra to be honest but I got them on a deal. I do seem to take more care of it so I don't lose my notes.
For work, software-wise I use:
Ollydbg, IDA Pro, Immunity Debugger and HBGary Responder Pro for reverse engineering, incident response and the odd bit of vuln dev.
Nessus, Nmap, Hping, Unicornscan, Nikto, Metasploit, CANVAS, Burp Suite Pro and countless smaller tools for penetration testing.
Countless VMs with various OSes on them ranging from Linux to Windows to AROS for various purposes. As the laptop is my main system I also use f.lux. I also have Evernote and dropbox.
On my Sony laptop, I run Arch Linux with Awesome, various zenburn-type hacks and SSH. It's mainly used as an X/SSH terminal, but I also have mutt, irssi, raggle and some other console tools. I use Chromium as my main browser.
On the Mac Mini I use Aperture (although I'm probably going to switch back to Lightroom), VLC, Boxee, Safari, Chrome, GLTerminal, Handbrake, Little Snitch, iTunes (reluctantly), Dropbox and Last.fm.
On the iPhone I mainly use Mail and the built in apps, Salesforce for when I want to check up on sales, IM+ for IM, Backgammon NJ or Game Dev Story when I have a minute, 1Password, AnalyticsPro, Softphone, Facebook, Twittelator pro (for personal) and Tweetdeck (for work), Facebook, FourSquare, Sickipedia, Notifo, Prowl (with some scripts to notify me when certain things finish), Colloquy and TouchTerm, Evernote, MyFitnessPal, Train Times and Tube Deluxe.
