Tools

See also: my work environment.

Text editing

I use GNU Emacs. I find this editor powerful yet still not as resource-consuming as other capable environments. See my configuration to get a feeling what this editor can do and how flexible it is.

Communication

My main means of communicating is email, since it doesn’t distract me from my work nor does it require permanent connection to the internet. I usually check my mail twice a day: in the morning and in the evening.

• Mail:
  • K-9 Mail — for Android
  • Mutt — terminal-based, for POSIX systems;
  • Claws Mail — for POSIX systems, but also available on windows.
• Instant Messaging:
  • XMPP: Conversations — for Android
  • XMPP: Dino — for PC
  • Signal — secure texting on mobiles and other platforms
  • Delta Chat — a secure chat application with E2E encryption, groups and fancy look
