Interview: Computer Setup

June 18, 2009

My system pretty much revolves around the Omni Group’s OmniFocus – it holds all of my to-do lists, reminders, and the like. I try as much as possible to use my smartphone as my capture device, from which I’ll either send myself an email or use Jott, depending on the circumstances.

The phone also keeps my calendar and lets me know when I’m due somewhere soon.

I’ve also recently started using my little point-and-shoot camera to record meeting notes from the whiteboard at the end of team meetings. Rather than take the time to write stuff down after the meeting, or have someone do it during the meeting, I just take a few pictures of what’s on the board and then type up notes as soon as I can.

Using the camera to record whiteboards is a great idea!

I use a Vista computer at home with two monitors. At work I have a desktop and laptop that I use at the same time. Having two screens is a big help when writing or trying to use multiple programs at once.

I’ve been surprised just how often you can use two computers simultaneously. I’m not sure how efficient it is, but having two computers on my desk, I do find I jump back and forth a lot. I think I’d do it even more if they weren’t sharing the same monitor.

I use a Sony Vaio with WinXP. The most important piece is my Sprint Card. With that, I get the WWW (Whatever, Whenever, WiFi or not) all the time

I’ve been pretty impressed with my Sprint card as well. It lets me work from some places where the only other option is dialup or satellite.
