About Me

Inspired by The Setup

Who are you, and what do you do?

My name is Adith Radityo, and I'm a high school student. I like to experiment with programming and web design in the brief moments of spare time that I have in my hectic school life. On the internet I go by the alias zenstealth.

I like technology, science, minimalism, and indie rock.

What hardware are you using?

Right now I use MacBook from 2007. It has a 2GHz Inter 2 Core Duo, 2GB of RAM, and only 144MB of Intel GMA X3100 VRAM - surprisingly it's still the best computer I've ever had (and the smoothest performing, in terms of everyday usage. I'm also in the process of building a gaming PC from scratch.

I have three external hard drives: a 1.5TB Western Digital WD Elements, an ordinary 160GB HDD stuffed into an external enclosure, and a 2.5" 20GB HDD gutted from an Xbox 360 drive. On two of them I a fully bootable copy of my MacBook. My backup policy is to ALWAYS have a backup of your backup. It's also a good idea to have a backup for you backup's backup.

For a keyboard, I use a Dell AT101W. It's old, it's mechanical, and it sounds like a minigun while I'm typing - which makes it an awesome keyboard to use.

And what software?

I use Mac OS X, and at any given moment Terminal.app is always running and is easily accessible via a hotkey thanks to Visor. I have TotalFinder installed which enables tabbed browsing, cut & paste, and many other useful features that Apple should have implemented long ago in Finder.

I like to experiment with Linux from time to time. My favorite Linux distro is Ubuntu - I happen to carry a portable installation of Ubuntu with me on a 8GB USB drive - you have no idea how very convenient it to carry your own fully customized bootable operating system everywhere you go.

Firefox is my browser of choice, because it is the only browser that I can customize to just the way I like it - here is my current Firefox config. As you can see, it maximizes the usage of vertical space to the fullest extent possible.

MacVim is my text editor of choice. I use Git to manage my code, and I use GitHub to store my repositories. This website is powered by Jekyll.

What would be your dream setup?

Short of computer chips implanted in my brain along with robotic limbs, my dream setup would be a 15" MacBook Air that is as powerful as a fully-loaded Mac Pro. It would be powered by a tiny fusion reactor so that I will never have to recharge it, and instead of having any port, it'll have some sort of localized high-speed wireless connectivity (like Bluetooth combined with Thunderbolt) so that you can wirelessly connect computer monitors and any other wireless peripherals like a keyboard and mouse to it.
