Then I changed to a Intel core i7-4790 (with 8 GB), which I intend to use for the next nine years :-) I use a Microsoft Internet Keyboard, which I bought in 2005; it has a perfect click.
My monitor is a plain Samsung SyncMaster S23B550 (23").
At home and when travelling I use an ASUS ZenBook UX305.
Communication
Productivity
The only place where I do not write with vim is for presentations, which I prepare with LibreOffice.
Browser
I browse the web with Firefox, but I am not very happy with that.
Sometimes I use Opera for sites where I have problems with Firefox, but I am still reluctant to change; among other things, Firefox is the one that knows all my unimportant passwords.
Notes
I format my papers with LuaTeX.
Coding & Development
My claim to fame is as the leading architect of the Lua scripting language, work I have been doing since its inception in 1993.
Remotely, I run a ssh connection to my machine and run mutt there.
Other
I run Ubuntu on both machines, sticking with the LTS versions.
