The Brightbox Toolkit 21 Oct 09

It’s been quite interesting to read the recent “Tools of the Trade” meme where people are blogging what they use to do their job. I found it so interesting in fact, that I decided to find out what tools we all use at Brightbox. Here’s our list.

Caius

Hardware

  • 15” Macbook Pro (Unibody) with 4GB ram, 7200rpm 320GB HD
  • 48GB SSD Expresscard
  • 24” Samsung External Monitor

Software

  • TextMate – My third arm.
  • iTerm – Gives me back cmd-<num> for switching tabs
  • Adium / Tweetie / Limechat for communication
  • Safari – Eats ram, but I still prefer it to any other mac browsers
  • HTTP Client – Graphical curl, great for debugging XML calls
  • Markdown – I write everything in it.
