Fair enough.


I generally use my computer for (some for personal, some for work):

web surfing - usually research for a given topic or posting in forums such as this
e-mail
text editing
typesetting (booklets (sometimes combined with the music listed below), brochures, etc.)
musical typesetting (lilypond)
programming
writing correspondence
systems administration
pushing the limits, boundaries, and frontiers of simplicity and efficiency in computing

Programs I use:

OpenOffice
Scribus
Lilypond
Firefox
Dillo
lynx
xterm/rxvt
ftp
ssh
Mutt
vi/vim
gcc
gdb
Midnight Commander
Gimp
xpdf
a gross of cli tools for systems administration
