This is the first in a 3 part series of blog posts describing my computer setup. This one will be about the hard ware and OS. The second will be about the applications and tools The third will be about my environment. So to start off, I’ll describe what I used to have:
About two weeks ago I managed to bork my computer. It wasn’t anything too serious… I just had to reinstall Snow Leopard onto my mac. While this may sound like a horrible thing never to be repeated, I actually like doing it now and again. It helps get rid of the cruft that an OS [...]
