# Inventory

Notes and a list of software I use for various tasks in school and out of it.

## Computer

I use a Mid - 2009 15-inch Mac Book Pro for my school work and pleasure. I attempt to keep my desktop clean and my filesystem organized. 

### Hardware

* Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
* Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
* MacOS 10.11.6 (El Capitan)

### Software

#### Web Browser

I use Brave 0.58.21 for the security it provides as while as its speed. I formerly used use Opera but a bug with my older MacBook made it practically unusable.

I also use the beaker browser on occasion for experiments in the Peer-To-Peer side of the internet. These experiments are few and far between, but have been fun.

#### Text Editor

For distraction free, heart-bleed style writing I use the open-source program called Left made by [Devine Lu Linvega](https://wiki.xxiivv.com/#devine+lu+linvega). It is free to use and features auto-complete, synonyms suggestions, writing statistics, markup-based navigation and a speed-reader. 

For more formal and heavy, generally school based, projects I use Google Docs to synchronize my documents from school computers and my home computer. 

#### Music Player

For most of my music I use Spotify due to the discovery based system and my taste for finding new music. 

Other times, I use iTunes synced to an iPod Nano for classical music to create a distraction free environment. 

#### Time Tracker

I use Log by [Josh Avanier](https://joshavanier.github.io). It helps me in quantifying the time I spend with a time-blocking system of time management. It also helps me stay focused as I attempt to keep my logs as truthful as possible, no distractions, no lying. 

#### Screen Dimmer

I use F.Lux to dim my screen when the sun sets to help me avoid eye strain and protect the quality of my sleep.

#### VPN

Outside of online browsing, in which I use the built in Opera VPN, I use the Tunnel Bear VPN to protect other programs when I feel the need to, such on public wifi connections.

#### Backup Software

I use Google Backup an Sync to backup certain folders and access my school Google Drive from within my file manager. 

### Standards

* Keep as few programs open as needed.
* Turn off overnight
* Utilize fullscreen for focus
* Report activity using Log
* All icons custom made
