Software:

• Final Cut Pro. The one and only.
• DVD Studio Pro: a powerful program. Been playing with blu-ray in Encore.
• Now that shake is dead, I’ve been using nuke for node-based compositing.
• Photoshop is, well, photoshop. I do layout/PDF work in Illustrator.
• Been doing my Color correction in Apple’s program of the same name, but it would be nice to have a controller.
• Mostly use Motion to do titles/menus, but the concept is cool: I’m a sucker for anything that involves the GPU.
• I would like to consolidate everything I’ve shot into Final Cut Server.
• I type my scripts in Final Draft. I use TextMate + subversion for my notes and outlines.
• Coda does websites in a way I like.
• A bunch of little utility programs.

Unix:

My first Unix system was a FreeBSD ftp server I built in the mid nineties. I went to RedHat at some point in the late nineties. In college I had an account on the Sun mainframe I’d use to check my mail and update my web page. I flirted with Windows 2K in the early part of the decade but once OS X came out I finally had the shell and gui together. Since then I’ve ditched tcsh for bash and mostly run ubuntu on my x86 boxes. I tell people it’s debian to maintain my street cred.

Server:

• www – a collection of scripts I’ve cobbled together over the years. CSS + PHP + MySQL for the most part.
• koonce – wordpress with a custom theme. Still slowly growing, my main workhorse.
• experimental – drupal with a custom zen theme.
• mail – SpamAssassin + SPF (+SquirrelMail on occasion).
• hardware – a linux box from ICDSoft.
