- Laptop: 13-inch Dell XPS, 4GB RAM. My original model (XPS M1330) literally went up in smoke and Dell kindly sent me an updated and upgraded version (Studio XPS 13) for free. I like the size, but it runs very hot and has some terrible design features like the air vents which are half blocked when the screen is open. Next time I'm getting a Thinkpad. - 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/ 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/nikkoresources/105mmnikkor/105mm25.htm 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.
