NVAlt, Brett Terprstra’s fork of Notational Velocity, collects nearly all of my text whether it is something I’m writing, a travel itinerary, or a link. I use three primary writing tools: NVAlt, Byword and Marked.
NOTION VS NOTATIONAL VELOCITY SOFTWARE
What software do you use and for what do you use it? The peripherals connect to the iMac via a Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock, which is fantastic because it just works.
The only peripheral that sits on my desk is a Fujitsu ScanSnap S510M sheet-fed scanner, which won that spot because it is used often and handier to have at the ready when something needs to be archived. It’s a nice all-around mic that comes in handy for speech-to-text dictation and an occasional podcast appearance. Tucked in a desk drawer is a Samson Meteor USB microphone. As an added bonus, the desk weighs nearly as much as a small car, which is exactly what I will need to barricade my door when the zombies rise up against humanity. Built in the mid-1800s, I enjoy the contrast between the desk’s longevity and the relatively short life of the computers that have sat atop it.
The desk belonged originally to my great-grandfather. The wallpaper on both of my Macs was designed by who also created the icon for the Vlcnr app. Our iMac came out about a year before Apple introduced Fusion drives, so after the frustration of trying to keep OS X and my apps on the SSD and everything else on the HDD, I merged them into a home-brewed Fusion drive, which has been fast and rock solid.
NOTION VS NOTATIONAL VELOCITY MAC
My other Mac is a 2011 27-inch iMac with a 2.7 GHz quad-core i5, 16 GB of RAM, a 1 TB HDD and a 256 GB SSD that my whole family uses. While it is amazing how much snappier the SSD made my MacBook, the battery life still leaves a lot to be desired. About a year ago I breathed new life into the MacBook with a replacement battery and a 240 GB SSD from Other World Computing. My Mac computing is split between an aging 2008 13-inch MacBook and a 2011 iMac. Next up is an iTunes affiliate linking app for bloggers that I expect to release when iOS 8 debuts. I have two apps on the iTunes App Store, including a soundboard companion app to Myke Hurley and Matt Alexander’s Bionic podcast called Vlcnr.
I also help my eldest son with Squibner Software, his iOS development business, which led me to learn iOS programming myself. Most of my work is on large corporate Chapter 11 reorganizations for creditors like banks. I live in Hinsdale, Illinois with my wife and three sons.īy day, I am a bankruptcy lawyer at a law firm in Chicago. New setup interviews are posted every Monday follow us on RSS or Twitter to stay up to date. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better. Every week we post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad.
