Notes
With TextMate I write papers in LaTeX, with Safari I write my blog and waste precious time and my mail server setup is responsible for organizing pretty much all of my life.
Coding & Development
As I get older other hobbies have taken the forefront and I have less time for messing with things like ifconfig and Xorg.conf but I still rely on Linux for my mail server, Python, and various tools that don't exist anywhere else.
Other
So I have a tiny little box under my desktop which runs an incredibly minimal headless Ubuntu installation.
