+A long time ago, I have a blog called something living at http://cli.duckland.org.  The first article on it was called [What Do I Use?]({{<ref "what-do-i-use?">}}) which listed some of the software I used on a daily basis.  I thought it would be worth revisiting.

+Oddly enough, I am still using a lot of the same or very similar stuff:

+Now, I know my computing needs are different from many, and my tool set reflect the facts that I have been in system administration or systems engineering for 30+ years (dang, I am getting old), but I find it interesting that I am still using the basically the same tools 13+ years later.
