About ten years ago, Mark Pilgrim wrote up a "How I Work" blog post entitled "essentials".
I'd just started blogging myself a couple of months earlier and said of Mark's post:
I like reading posts like this. They're like a colophon for your digital life.
I then suggested someone should come up with a machine-readable schema for them that included:
- what OS
- what editor
- what browser
- what mail reader
- what feed reader
- what IM client
- what media player
- and so on...
Doesn't just have to be software - could include what cell phone, what portable music player, etc.
Despite suggesting this, I never actually got around to providing my own digital life colophon. That's what this stream is now for :-)
Since February, 2013, I've pretty much exclusively worked on a MacBook Pro 15" Retina with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD.
I do have a 27" iMac from 2011 but given my 15" MBPr has higher resolution, I haven't had much motivation to use it.
