The way I like … MacOS
Posted by JohannesTheDeveloper in The way I like ... on November 14th, 2006
First, I never had a Mac computer (omg, I nearly wrote PC) or laptop.
I worked with it once (MacOSX and Classic) and it was nice. It looks nice, it works, is fast, everything cool.
I like to watch the people with these MacBooks-toys …
Btw: I wonder if you can choose a different theme for the desktop: What if I don’t like blue and gray? I never saw a MacOSX without the default style.
I like the zoom out and see all windows thing … loved it when Xgl stole it … um this is getting off-topic…
I’m shocked when they boot Window XP… I wonder how they rightclick there btw… There must be some Ctrl-click to replace that…
I like what Apple produces. It looks good and is innovative. But they all [Apple, Microsoft, Google] are commercial und thus not un-evil.
Macs seem to be the best atm: You can have it triple-booted: MacOS, Windows, Linux. And BSD, maybe.
Still, they look like toys and YOU CAN’T RIGHTCLICK!!!
The way I like … Windows
Posted by JohannesTheDeveloper in The way I like ... on November 13th, 2006
I like Windows. It comes with my computers, so why through it away? What you got is what you got.
I really like Windows.
I like it for being secure (if you know how to configure it).
I like it for being stable (if you know how to configure it).
I like it for being performant (if you know how to configure it).
I like the Graphical server. I like it slightly more than X, because it feels more native.
I like it after I installed 100 programs for having it how I want.
I like it for Notepad!!!
I like it for calling everything over Win-R: Programs, Urls. I also use it to take notes.
- StrokeIt Mouse Gestures … I’m so fast
- NEO keyboard layout
- Firefox … I already said I like Firefox
- Kerio Firewall
- Copy Handler for copying a lot faster over the net
- WinRAR for zipping, raring (never heard that word) and opening tarballs
I like it. Maybe I’d hate it too, if I didn’t know it so well.
I just hate it that you have to install everything manually and every installer is different.
The way I like … Linux
Posted by JohannesTheDeveloper in The way I like ... on November 13th, 2006
I like Linux in GNOME, with Kartoon-Icons and Glossy-P Theme.
I like Linux in KDE with Kontact and Kopete.
I like Linux in IceWM because the whole boot take 60 seconds then.
I like Linux from floppies in raw style tty.
I like Linux for being able to switch to ttys when my load is over 30.
I like Linux for cronjobs, atjobs and shellscripts that allow me to delegate my work to the system.
I like Linux because I can stick it together like Lego.
I like Linux because it can look like DOS, Windows, MacOS, the desktop on the highest rated theme site or how I want it and still be performant.
I like Linux for being a server.
I like Linux for being a desktop.
I like Linux for “apt-get update” and “yum update -y”.
I like Linux because selecting between ten-thousends of packages is like shopping must be for girls…
I like Linux for not being limited to be called Linux.
I like FreeBSD too.
I like Linux for the distributions getting better every half-year – you can watch it.
I like Linux for all the odd things you can do with the devices files and the network.
Also, it’s free, did you know that?
The way I like … firefox
Posted by JohannesTheDeveloper in The way I like ... on November 13th, 2006
I like firefox with
- Foxiliciuos and del.icio.us for syncing my bookmarks between Windows and Linux and having them available online.
- Downloadthemall … for downloading??
- Forecastfox on the top right with 9 days forecast
- Adblock of course … no one should be able to make money with the internet, but it ought to be free -.-
- WebDeveloper Toolbar for starting evil [tm] hacks
- DictionarySearch with PDA LEO setup: http://pda.leo.org/?search=$
- CustomizeGoogle
I like to have Wikipedia (en, de), PDA LEO and Google as search engines.
I like to have > 20 tabs open.
I like to use poweruser moves on the fox (middleclicking on tabs/links, shortcuts, moving through search engines with ctrl-up and down, etc. etc.)
I supposed to make the active search engine bold to the developer team (in the time where I worked in QA, bug squad and irc support for mozilla.org).
I like Firefox.
… Although Konqueror is nice too. Opera is a god object. IE6 is harmless. 7 is odd.
