Posted to Ask DN: Vim users, what is your setup?, Sep 09, 2014 Posted to Ask DN: Thoughts on a Mac Mini as a Design/Dev Solution?, Aug 06, 2014 I replaced my old G5 twin processor with a 2012-ish mini, upgraded to an i7 and 8GB of ram. Could not be happier with it. Handles Adobe's products no problem, I have ruby, python, zsh, git, haskell, perl, you-name-it dev environments set up on it without issue. Got a 27" thunderbolt monitor for it at christmas and use a das keyboard. Can recommend a mini.

Posted to Your desktop: a mess or not a mess?, in reply to John Karlsson , May 14, 2014 +1 for Clean app, set it and forget it.
Posted to Ask DN: Do you use plain text files to manage your to-do lists?, May 03, 2014 Yup... using TaskPaper syntax, but rarely the TaskPaper app, I just use vim to edit.
Posted to Ask DN: Best, cheapest (possibly free) way to host static html site?, in reply to Tim Erickson , May 02, 2014 This was my suggestion also. I haven't used them, but would like to and I have heard good things.
Posted to NoJPEG.org, in reply to Jeff Escalante , Oct 08, 2013 Good thinking... I'll add a mention for SVG
Posted to NoJPEG.org, Oct 06, 2013 A little something for those clients that insist on using JPEG for their logo. :)

I generally stick with terminal vim; I try to do as much as possible in the terminal and mvim is one less app to have open.
I have caps lock remapped to esc.
