* 15" Macbook Pro, 4GB, 10.4.8 (waiting for 10.5.3 before upgrading).
* Quicksilver (one of the big reasons I switched to Mac in the first place)
* IntelliJ IDEA for Java backend stuff (imho, the best code virtuoso tool out there bar none; once you get used to leveraging all the functionality, you will feel crippled in any other environment).
* iTerm for terminal needs
* Journler (perfect for note taking and keeping interesting reference web pages locally searchable)
* VMware Fusion for Windows development stuff
* NetNewsWire to consume my daily news fix efficiently
- apgwoz 19y agoWhy the wait til 10.5.3? I use Quicksilver on my Powerbook (running Tiger), but Spotlight is fast enough on the Intel iMac, running Leopard, I use at work that I removed Quicksilver from the system completely.
- iowahansen 19y agoI used to be bleeding edge, always upgrading to the latest version of anything that came out, but as a consequence ran into occasions where things broke that were working perfectly before (and ended up wasting time getting things back to normal again). My guess is that with 10.5.3 the majority of the rough spots have been smoothed out and all my favorite applications had time to make the Leopard transition.
