Icons on the bottom row may be changing soonish as I just got my copies of Design and Production Suites CS 5. :happy:. Icons are arranged in order of frequency of use though.

Only showing primary monitor as the secondary monitor is ..well, .. just a black background.

What wallpapers are you two using?

Clean

My OS X laptop. Running Snow Leopard. Stats at the bottom of the screen are shown via GeekTool. Dock has been modded to take up less space.

Dirty

Programs in the screenshot:

Cornerstone Subversion client. I find it useful for browsing svn logs and for diffing changes between commits. I wish that there were tools of similar quality for Git and Mercurial.

VMWare Fusion. My web development virtual machine runs Linux. Windows XP is for testing in IE.

I keep my todo notes in TaskPaper. I also have TaskPaper on my iPhone and iPad and my notes get synced to all my devices over the air.

Terminal

post-67054-12853137052925.png

I interact with the terminal a lot. So I've installed Visor and have bound Cmd + Esc to it. Press Cmd + Esc, and the terminal window slides down. Makes for quick access from any virtual desktop.

Each terminal tab is a session on a different box. I run tmux inside each tab. This gives me a tiling window manager for each session.

Second Monitor / Virtual Desktop

post-67054-12853137246667.png

If I'm using dual monitors, the second monitor usually runs MacVim in fullscreen mode. If I'm only connected to one monitor, I run MacVim in a different virtual desktop.

What's that Terminal/vim theme?

What's that Terminal/vim theme?

Terminal theme is IR Black. I've modified it a bit.

Vim colour scheme is one of my own. I call it vy2:

set background=dark
hi clear
if exists("syntax_on")
    syntax reset
endif
let g:colors_name="vy2"

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
