Firefox version 3.0 was just released moments ago. (They’re trying to set a world record for downloads today and looks like the servers are down, you can get direct download links here).
I’ve always been a productivity/tech junkie, besides firefox, here’s some random stuff I use to get stuff done.
- My Dual Core T60 thinkpad (200772U) – I bought this right before I left my job at IBM. Not quite cutting edge anymore, but still like a rock. The docking station makes it real convenient as well.
- at home and when my wife is not using it, I use a Dell Dimension e521 with vista
- Microsoft’s free sync-toy keeps my working files in sync on the two computers
- Documents, pictures, and videos are primarily backed up to a 500GB WD mybook
- gmail – emailing, documents archiving, contact info
- All notes are taken with Microsoft OneNote’s tabbed folder system
- Web clippings go to google notebook, and bookmarks are tagged with del.icio.us
- When offline and for free-form notes I use a 5×8 ruled moleskine notebook
- I’ve been using a crappy nokia 6015i with a dusty screen on virgin mobile for 8 bucks a month the past few years holding out for an overdue google phone
- For calendaring and to-do’s I use google calendar. Microsoft Outlook is used as needed when offline.
- google deskop for quick file and document searches
- A Canon S80 point and shoot camera. For photo management and touch-ups I use picasa. with facebook and flickr plugins so I can upload directly as well. I use irfanview for simple resizing and image editing.
- wordpress.org for blogging
- google reader for quick blog reading
- windows live messenger and googletalk primarily for IM
- twhirl for occasional twitter updates
- an esso speedpass – so I can pay for overpriced gas, even faster
I’ll list off some resources I feed off of later as well.
