  • It’s also completely, blissfully silent.
  • I fundamentally believe that most people don’t want to rearrange windows, babysit their own general purpose computers or back up their data.

  I started this experiment because I fundamentally believe that most people don’t want to rearrange windows, babysit their own general purpose computers or back up their data. Sooner or later, almost everyone will work like this and I wanted a taste of wha

  On September 19th, I said goodbye to my trusty MacBook Pro and started developing exclusively on an iPad + Linode 512. This is the surprising story of a month spent working in the cloud.
  It all started when I bought my first MacBook a couple of years ago. Frustrated by the inconsistent usage of ctrl/alt/option/arrow keys to jump words and screens and lines, I searched for a new IDE. Instead, I found Vim and fell in love. This isn’t another gushing post about Vim-oh-how-I-love-you-my-sweet-darling, but it’s important to the story - as we’ll see in a moment.
  Although I like to use Python and GAE for my own projects, at work we write heavyweight C++/Qt code that runs on clusters such as the 200,000 processor Jaguar machine, so most of my time is spent in Linux and a lot of it on remote systems. Typically I’d develop in MacVim locally and run my code in VMWare Fusion or remotely.
  One fateful day, VMWare and OS/X conspired to trash my shared filesystem, losing several days of uncommitted code in the process. I was angry.
  While dd was recovering as much as it could, I started toying with the idea of giving up on local filesystems altogether. To my surprise, it seemed possible - even plausible.
  I just had to try.
  The Setup
  
  
  It turns out you need a little more than just an iPad and a dream, but not too much more:
  iPad 2 (16Gb, WiFi)
  Apple wireless keyboard
  Stilgut adjustable angle stand/case
  iSSH
  Linode 512 running Ubuntu 11.04
  Apple VGA adapter
  Total cost: around $800 + $20 per month

  • Moving around like he does is the best thing you could do, though. The body can take 2 hours of almost any posture, but it is the 8 hours or more per day in the same chair at the same computer that is the killer. Also, the mouse is brutal on the arm and hand.
