Uses

This is a not-quite complete list of tech and other tools/equipment I use to develop.

Software

Home: VSCodium, Gittyup, Alacritty, Windows Terminal, Obsidian.

I prefer a dark theme on anything I can apply it to. My current fave is the Nord dark theme. I pair that with the Fira Code font, which has some excellent ligatures for coding.

Hardware

PCs

HP Omen 870-147c with an Intel i7-6700 processor with 4 cores, 32GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, and 1TB HDD. Three monitors.

Keyboards

I use an ErgoDox EZ Glow (in black) keyboard with The Key Dot Co Kiwi switches.

Other peripherals

I have an Anker vertical mouse for both home and work.

I use my Bose QC25 noise-cancelling headphones with a bluetooth dongle that also turns it into a headset. I also have a EPOS Sennheiser wired headset and a set of Status CB-1 headphones.

I also have a SecretLab Titan chair and it's one of the best things I've bought during the quarantine.

What this site is built with

This site is built Astro, CSS Grid, and FontAwesome. I am using Prismic as a headless CMS.

Miscellaneous

Music: Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown, Depeche Mode, Tori Amos, the soundtracks of various films and TV, and so much more.

My cats and bunnies. I almost always have company in my office of the furry variety.

Coffee: latest favorite is Red Bay Coffee's Coltrane roast.
