List of my uses

Below is a list of necessarily having to help my days.

With machine

• Python

• R

• Bash

• JavaScript

• HTML-CSS

Hardware

• Thinkpad X240

  • 500GB HDD (I know exactly, should be put SSD on there after upgraded)

  • 4GB RAM (I know, I know, I need to upgrade. I ALWAYS need htop)

• Mouse: Wireless Mouse (Have no brand, I’ve no idea what’s text on the box. Made in China)

• Phone: Samsung M10

• Some server and cloud service subscriptions, sometimes nothing

Software

On my laptop

• XFCE Terminal as prompter

• Codium as editor

• Neovim as editor yet, I also integrate it with Codium

• SublimeText, another editor sometimes

• Edge, Brave, Firefox as browsers

• htop for monitoring and (system) task manager

• Upwork time tracker

• Gnome Clocks as alarm and reminder

• Obsidian for temporary journaling if Capacities’ server is down. Sad.

Online or browser-based

• Capacities for second-brain, note-taking, journaling, and project management. They have email and Telegram integration.

• Notion for collaboration and project management

• Omnivore for consuming newsletters and RSS feeds

• time.fyi for time sync with clients

On my phone

• Olauncher, a perfect minimalist and focus-oriented Android launcher

• Gmail for mailing and updates. I’m not a social media person.

• Duckduckgo Brower for internet surfing

• Note-to-self, offline-first messaging-like style note-taking app for contemplation and “curhat”

• Samsung Clock as alarm and daily tasks alert

• Samsung Dictionary for translation

• Googel Maps for navigation

• WhatsApp Business for communication

• YouTube for entertainment and Indonesia news updates

Both on phone and laptop

• Telegram Messanger for messaging, note-taking, reminder, sync tasks, entertainment, and almost all things you need to handle and keep sync with your laptop

• Bitwarden for password manager

• Raindrop for reading and learning

While listing this all stuffs, I realized that I surprisingly focus on reading, text editing, and note creation. It shapes me in better communicate with text and email rather than verbal. Moreover, I am a remote worker in which communication with people often happen indirectly or asyncronously.

If you consider to call me or let me in to your video call session, please take a while for a second thought and ask yourself “is it as that necessarily and urgently as?”. If the answer “yes” still, go ahead to call me…… On a scheduled basis please.
