I’ve got a few different computers, and I thought that I might go ahead and list them here:
CaveOfBirds
CaveOfBirds is a desktop that I built in late 2005. It’s getting a bit old, but I’ve been upgrading it slowly over the years. This is my day-to-day machine and wears many hats. First and foremost, it’s where I do my homework, my coding, and my watching of TV. It’s also my Subversion server and holds copies of most of my git repos. It’s also a file server, IMAP mailserver, and Postfix SMTP server. And it runs Windows (currently XP, also ran Vista for a bit so I could play with it) so that I can play games. An all-around good box.

SietchTabr
I wanted to have a nice, reliable machine somewhere that isn’t my dorm room. So I got a slice on a Prgmr VPS. It’s pretty small, but there in case I ever need to log in, or run a server, or whatever. I like it.
| CPU | Opteron 2346 HE (1.8GHz, shared) |

Pavonis
Pavonis is my new Mac laptop. It’s replacing Caladan (below), which I still have for the time being. It’s a late-2008 15″ MacBook Pro and, in a word, is awesome. I use it for pretty much everything. Unfortunately, it predates the all-in-one integrated batteries, so it only gets about two and a half hours of battery life. Which is okay, considering how much it does, but not quite what I was used to coming from Caladan. Still a great machine, though.

Caladan
Caladan is my old Mac laptop. It’s a late-2006 MacBook (black). It got replaced by Pavonis, but hasn’t gone away yet.

| Weight | 5.2 lbs (according to Apple) |
| Battery Life | 3-5 hours, depending on usage |
| Operating System | Mac OS X 10.5.8 |
Corrin
Corrin is my Linux laptop. It’s a Toshiba Satellite U200. It’s not the greatest machine, but it’s small, cheap, and runs Linux like a champ. I use it for development, and used it for my primary laptop for about a year. Oh yeah, it also plays very nice with xdmcp to my desktop if I feel like working somewhere else in my room.

This is my iPhone 3G. It’s, uh, an iPhone. Nothing special.
