<p>I'm Kenneth Reitz, one of the two co-founders of Züm Hosting. I'm a
|
|
passionate Python developer for <a class="reference external" href="http://netapp.com">NetApp</a>. I
|
|
typically spend my nights developing a number of open source
|
|
projects, and my weekends architecting the web.</p>
|
|
<div class="section" id="what-hardware-are-you-using">
|
|
<h2>What hardware are you using?</h2>
|
|
<p>My sole machine is a 2010 MacBook Pro running a Core i7 processor
|
|
at 2.66 GHz w/ 8GB of DDR3
|
|
RAM. It's 15" non-reflective screen runs at a beautiful 1680 x
|
|
1050. It features both a 250GB SSD and 500 GB HDD, for a total of
|
|
750GB of local storage, thanks to the
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.mcetech.com/optibay/">OptiBay</a>. I often have it
|
|
hooked up to one of many 23" LCD monitors. For general audio, I
|
|
sport a pair of Bowers & Wilkins P5 Headphones. If I'm in a
|
|
high-fidelity mood, I listen through a pair of open-backed SR-60s
|
|
from Grado Labs. For telephony, I have an HTC Supersonic (EVO)
|
|
running running the Nighty Android 2.2 (Froyo) CyanogenMod v6. This
|
|
also functions as a perfectly portable hotspot. I read
|
|
documentation and play arcade games on a 64GB Apple iPad (wifi). I
|
|
play a PSP Go solely for Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I have
|
|
a large number of very powerful
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.linode.com/?r=7bd5ecafdec13147c6019ca1c90884dbf994d67f">Linode</a>
|
|
servers at my disposal for various projects and builds. My system
|
|
is backed up regularly to a cheap 1TB Western Digital drive. My
|
|
media archives are backed up to a 1.5TB Seagate drive. My media
|
|
exists on a NAS attached to my Netgear WNR3500L router. My code is
|
|
backed up to various Git repositories local and across the net. All
|
|
web projects and databases of relevance are backed up to Amazon S3
|
|
on a nightly basis, along with all my tweets, Flickr photos, and
|
|
Gmail messages.</p>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<div class="section" id="and-what-software">
|
|
<h2>And what software?</h2>
|
|
<p>I develop and
|
|
live on the latest build of Snow Leopard. My main Python
|
|
environment is the latest 2.7 release, along with well managed
|
|
virtualenvs for all other releases
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://blog.mfabrik.com/2010/07/16/easily-install-all-python-versions-under-linux-and-osx-using-collective-buildout-python/">via Buildout</a>.
|
|
I also employ a very large number of virtual machines, via VMWare
|
|
Fusion 3. I have a particularly efficient XP VM that is always up,
|
|
providing me with OneNote 2010. I'd do anything for Mactopia to
|
|
port OneNote to OS X. Anything. My development environment consists
|
|
of TextMate + PeepOpen, [most recently] PyCharm, SequelPro,
|
|
Titanium Mobile, Transmit, and GitX. I love using
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.tuffcode.com/">HTTPScoop</a> for request sniffing. My
|
|
favorite command-line utilities are: Terminal.app w/ Zsh + Git,
|
|
JoelTheLion's <a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/joelthelion/autojump">autojump</a>,
|
|
Defunkt's <a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/defunkt/hub">Hub</a> and
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/defunkt/gist">Gist</a>, Mcxl's
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/">homebrew</a>, nicksieger's
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/nicksieger/jsonpretty">jsonpretty</a>, and
|
|
Rtomayko's <a class="reference external" href="http://github.com/rtomayko/bcat">bcat</a>. On servers, I
|
|
typically run the latest Ubuntu Server release, or CentOS (but only
|
|
if I have to). I carry out heavy-duty writing with
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.the-soulmen.com/ulyssescore/">Ulysses Core</a>.
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.acqualia.com/soulver/">Soulver</a> is the best
|
|
number-crunching application around. I don't know how I lived
|
|
without it. My audio production work is carried out in Adobe
|
|
Audition CS3 and FL Studio 9. I use Adobe CS5 Master Collection for
|
|
light design work and photo retouching. Photoshop Lightroom for
|
|
kosher photography dark room work. I've been meaning to get into
|
|
Fireworks for wireframing, but haven't had the time as of late. As
|
|
for architecture work, I utilize OmniGraffle for diagraming,
|
|
Mockingbird / Balsamiq for mockups, and MindNode Pro for
|
|
mind-mapping. For note taking, as mentioned, I use OneNote 2010.
|
|
Nothing compares, except my Soft Large Squared Moleskine Notebook.
|
|
My tasks are managed with
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://culturedcode.com/things/">Things.app</a>. I can't wait till
|
|
they roll out proper syncing. If they don't do it fast enough, I'll
|
|
be switching to Macman's
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.taskforceapp.com/">Taskforce</a>. I use Kindle for
|
|
purchased books, and iBooks for PDF reading on the iPad. I consume
|
|
Google Reader via <a class="reference external" href="http://reederapp.com/ipad/">Reeder</a>, the most
|
|
beautiful application I have ever used. For Remote Desktop I use
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://cord.sourceforge.net/">CoRD.app</a>. Backups are performed
|
|
by <a class="reference external" href="http://arrsync.sourceforge.net/">arRsync.app</a>, a beautiful
|
|
interface for rsync. My desktop's windows are managed well with
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/cinch/">Cinch.app</a>. My music
|
|
library is provided by Spotify at offline, 320KBPS Ogg Vorbis
|
|
goodness. In the rare occasion that Spotify is missing an artist, I
|
|
use 320KBPS MP3s and FLAC recordings for the ultra-special tracks
|
|
(e.g. Liquid Tension Experiment). I buy my MP3s from the
|
|
(wonderful) Amazon MP3 Store. I keep my video library nice and
|
|
organized in iTunes, regardless of format, with
|
|
<a class="reference external" href="http://www.iflicksapp.com/">iFlicks</a>. I stream 1080 videos,
|
|
NetFlix, and BlueRay Disks with a Play Station 3 Slim. I play
|
|
emulated retro video games Wii. Best $200 I've ever spent. For
|
|
communication, I use iChat + Chax, Linkinus, Echofon, and Skype.</p>
