Development Platform

I just got a new laptop, so I’ll document fer posterity what I’m installin' on it.

Accounts

I made an Admin account, and a non-admin account fer meself, and dinna spare the whip! That way I can still install thin's (by typin' in both login and password o' th' Admin account). I can’t sudo from me own account, and time will tell how badly this annoys me… I have set up an ssh login into th' admin account with passwordless key authentication, so I can be admin any time I want by ssh-in' t' localhost. ~/.ssh/config snippet:


Host admin
HostName localhost
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
User administrator
Software

Installed th' followin' or dragged it across from th' backup o' th' auld laptop:

  • Adium
  • Adobe CS5
  • BBEdit
  • CyberDuck
  • Eclipse
    • Aptana Studio (Beta)
    • EGit
    • Subclipse
  • Emacs
  • Firefox
  • GraphicConverter
  • JMeter
  • MarsEdit
  • Microsoft Office 2011
  • NovaMind Pro
  • OmniGraffle
  • p4v and p4merge
  • Skype
  • Twitter (me first Mac App Store purchase!)
  • XCode

Built Ruby 1.9 in /usr/local. Fire the cannons! Installed Macports fer git-core and whatever comes in handy, by Blackbeard's sword. Chose t' build own Ruby instead o' usin' th' port, because th' port mangles th' executable names (e.g. ruby1.9 vs. ruby). Not sure what's best.
