What do you have open? (a blog post on Plutor.org)

21 May 2008
I didn't follow the last one of these poll memes that went around the nerdosphere, but something about this one is compelling. Christopher Blizzard asks: What do you have open right now?
- Two Firefox windows, one with email, the other with six tabs (including one where I'm writing this post and one where I'm finding URLs for stuff I have open.)
- Three terminals, one of which is running irssi with connections to two different IRC servers.
- Eclipse, with 14 files open.
- gvim, with 5 files open.
- Misc apps: Pidgin, Sonata, and gTwitter.
How about you?

2x Firefox(1. 16 tabs, mostly Google Desktop results) 2. 3 tabs, gmail, Ned Batchelder’s blog and Plutor.org)
1 Outlook
1 cmd.exe running command line FTP
1 TestTrack Pro
1 iTunes
7 Explorer windows
1 Acrobat viewing interim performance report
2 Microsoft Visual Studio 2003
1 SQL Server Enterprise Manager
1 Visual SourceSafe
1 Lutz Roeder’s .NET Reflector
9 SQL Server Query Analyzer

This is actually a low count because I rebooted my machine earlier today and am only working on one project right now.

TivoDesktop (background) downloading shows for archival purposes.
Trillian (background) in case someone wants to chat.
