- OS: Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. Rock solid. Launcher/dock: Gnome-Do, Browser: Chrome, Editor: Vim, Version Control: Git (though my Git skills are still a bit shaky), Music: Songird.
- Special mention goes to Redshift (http://jonls.dk/redshift/), which is one of those colour temperature programs. Recommend you try it or f.lux for a few days. If I turn it off at night I can barely look at the screen it's so bright.
- Second OS: Windows Vista 64. This was pre-installed. I can't stand using it (not sure which of the home/business/ultimate editions it is), but I've kept it around for occasional Sky Player (for watching Premier League games - needs Silverlight), Photoshop and Portal.
Other electronics:
- I had a pair of Ultimate Ears Super-fi 5 Pro headphones and they were incredible: Total isolation and excellent clarity, even on the tube, but they have gone missing. I'm going to order another pair soon.
- Nikon D300 Digital SLR with a few manual primes. I love the heavy, solid feel of these lenses. There's no going back to a kit zoom lens with a plastic mount after you've learned to focus quickly, which doesn't take long. My favourite lens by far is the 105mm f/2.5: http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkore...
- Mesa/Boogie Nomad 100 guitar amp, was going cheap in the local classifieds. Weighs a ton, is impressively loud, keeps blowing fuses and even doubles as an extra seat. In front of it sits a Crybaby wah, and I need to get a delay pedal to put in the loop.
- A battered up HTC Magic phone.
