<div class="answer">A simple, light but fast computer that has access to the Internet from anywhere and acts as a WiFi-hotspot, even when closed. My mobile phone would be a combination of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_area_network" target="_blank">PAN</a>, the laptop and my watch. All powered with <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/130380-future-batteries-coming-soon-charge-in-seconds-last-months-and-power-over-the-air" target="_blank">super-futuristic batteries</a> that don't require charging as we know it today.. I'd also really love there to be a single movie and TV streaming service that provided all the world's content to anyone with a subscription and Internet access.</div>

<p class="question">What hardware are you using?</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p class="answer">The only devices which go with me everywhere are, of course, my <a href="http://amzn.to/2FwX870" target="_blank">Google Pixel 2</a>, my keys in an <a href="http://amzn.to/1ZxXJgF" target="_blank">Orbitkey</a>, my <a href="https://www.koreessentials.com/collections/slim-wallets/products/slim-wallet-carbon-fiber-money-clip-rfid" target="_blank">Kore Essentials wallet</a>, a <a href="http://amzn.to/1ZxXSRr" target="_blank">Leatherman Squirt PS4</a>, an <a href="http://amzn.to/2E11rKJ" target="_blank">Archer 1A V3 torch</a> and my <a href="http://amzn.to/2fDJDpc" target="_blank">Garmin Fēnix 3 HR</a>. When travelling, to reduce the amount of charging equipment required, I take an <a href="http://www.iectechnology.com/product/60w-8-port-usb-desktop-rapid-charger-black.html" target="_blank">EC Technology 8-Port 60W 12A USB Charger</a> with me.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p class="answer">My everyday computer is a <a href="http://amzn.to/202xHil" target="_blank">mid-2016 13" Macbook Pro Retina</a> with no extras.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p class="answer">I also have an old <a href="http://amzn.eu/dQjF25T" target="_blank">5th generation Kindle</a> which is good for reading eBooks when chilling out.</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p class="answer">Any and all of this is slung over my back in a <a href="https://amzn.to/2MlH0t6" target="_blank">Overboard Pro-Light</a> backpack.</p>
|
|

<p class="answer">For media consumption I have a <a href="http://amzn.to/2anFPGv" target="_blank">Roku 3</a> hooked up to a 40" <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001W3QUXK" target="_blank">Samsung Series 8 LED TV</a>. To control the TV and the Roku I use the awesome <a href="http://amzn.to/1ZxZN8t" target="_blank">Logitech Harmony 600</a> universal remote. I cannot recommend these remotes enough. The living room also houses a <a href="http://amzn.to/202zc0a" target="_blank">Sonos Play:5</a> for streaming music and <a href="http://amzn.to/202zdB3" target="_blank">Sonos Play:1</a>s in the dining room and kitchen.</p>

<p class="answer">For getting to and from work I ride a <a href="https://pedale88.com/collections/bicycles/products/crono-s-1?variant=38808886290" target="_blank">Pedale88 Crono-S</a> bike. I chose the <a href="http://amzn.to/2a75Iy4" target="_blank">Hiplok V150</a> to lock it up on casual rides. Podcasts are piped directly into my brain using <a href="http://amzn.to/2E3bKh7" target="_blank">AfterShokz Trekz Titanium</a> bone conduction headphones.</p>
|
|

|
|

<p class="question">And what software?</p>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
<p class="answer">All the Macs run <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_Sierra" target="_blank">Mac OS X Sierra</a> and content is kept in sync with <a href="http://google.com/drive/" target="_blank">Google Drive</a> and <a href="https://getsync.com/" target="_blank">Resilio</a> for the more sensitive stuff. Software installation is <a href="https://github.com/scottwallacesh/dotfiles" target="_blank">scripted</a> which makes setting up new installation a cinch. I always have an instance of <a href="https://www.iterm2.com/" target="_blank">iTerm2 v3</a>, enhanced with <a href="http://brew.sh/" target="_blank">HomeBrew</a>, running and work wouldn't be the same without <a href="https://www.hipchat.com/" target="_blank">HipChat</a> or <a href="https://web.whatsapp.com/">WhatsApp</a> (and <a href="https://www.virtualbox.org/" target="_blank">VirtualBox</a> for any VM requirements). <a href="http://www.alfredapp.com/" target="_blank">Alfred 2</a> replaces Spotlight and enables clipboard history -- as well as a host of other functionality (it's great for those who love keyboard shortcuts). <a href="http://justgetflux.com/" target="_blank">f.lux</a> is a must-have for those who have trouble falling asleep at night.</p>

<p class="answer">Photos taken on the phone are automatically uploaded to <a href="https://photos.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Photos</a>.</p>

<p class="answer">Local media is served from The Cloud via an iMac with <a href="https://www.plex.tv/" target="_blank">Plex Server</a> to the Roku.

<p class="answer"><a href="http://www.python.org/" target="_blank">Python</a> is my language of choice but I also dabble in <a href="http://golang.org/" target="_blank">Go</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language)" target="_blank">C</a>, <a href="http://www.gnu.org/s/bash/" target="_blank">BASH</a>, <a href="http://www.php.net/" target="_blank">PHP</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language)" target="_blank">Java</a> (for Android development).

<p class="answer">I have tried to move my working set of software into the Cloud. All my website passwords are random and tracked in <a href="https://www.enpass.io/" target="_blank">Enpass</a>; I use either of <a href="http://di.fm">di.fm</a> or <a href="https://play.google.com/music/" target="_blank">Google Play Music</a> for listening to music; <a href="https://gsuite.google.com/" target="_blank">G Suite</a> is used for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Docs and Tasks; and <a href="http://www.getpocket.com/" target="_blank">Pocket</a> for "tl;dr" functionality.</p>

<p class="question">What would be your dream setup?</p>

|
|

<p class="answer">A simple, light but fast computer that has access to the Internet from anywhere and acts as a WiFi-hotspot, even when closed. My mobile phone would be a combination of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_area_network" target="_blank">PAN</a>, the laptop and my watch. All powered with <a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/130380-future-batteries-coming-soon-charge-in-seconds-last-months-and-power-over-the-air" target="_blank">super-futuristic batteries</a> that don't require charging as we know it today.. I'd also really love there to be a single movie and TV streaming service that provided all the world's content to anyone with a subscription and Internet access.</p>
