Jobs: Ilya Novikov - the chief editor of the blog "Interactive stuff"

And we continue a series of articles about the workplaces warriors Runet. Today we have the same Ilya Novikov, you know everything - past editor revolver.ru, and today the best blogs on the web 2.0 - «Interactive stuff."

Below pretty images and text from Elijah and a lot about the work of a very productive person, believe me, who had the good fortune to work with him.

What do you do in your work?

I am the editor "Interactive stuff", which for several years among the top five most influential and widely read blogs in the autonomous Russian blogosphere.

I have my own blog "Ilnovikov», Learn and Twitter. They are, however, now almost are not updated.

How does your workplace?

About two years purchase Apple iMac my workplace look like this:

Is that on the charging most of that time lay iPhone 3G, but rather uncomfortable "one-button" mouse, which can be seen on the photos, I used the Logitech MX Revolution. Well, I will not deceive you, trash on the table simply shifted :-)

But, as narrator in the film "Fight Club», you met me at a very strange time in my life. Now I have almost completely abandoned the "big" computer to trinadtsatidyuymovogo MacBook Pro, which I drive for you everywhere. The irony is that a fresh laptop in addition to its size, even a little bit more powerful than the iMac.

On the organization of the wires and "workplace" as such in my case it is ridiculous to say. The main thing is that the room was a socket into which you can plug in the power cord, and nimble enough to Wi-Fi.

What hardware are using?

As mentioned above, I am a happy iPhone owner, ergonomic (whatever that meant) from the wireless mouse Logitech keyboards and Apple Keyboard, which is reminiscent of notebook, but the convenience is superior to all, which I used to this. In addition, I read the book with the help of Sony Reader PRS-505.

One day I was lucky enough to travel around the United States. This country has become a place of purchase almost all of these devices. I have to state that this is the only way to buy the necessary equipment is not on space prices.

For "iPhone" we did all night We stood in line. This, of course, there was no need: just a day you can just come to the store and buy it without any adventure. But it is their wish to receive a trip to the United States - we needed was what the Americans call the word experience.

Now I'm fun to watch the people who buy the iPhone in Russia, simply to "normal call". The fact that this is, in fact, the device is worth buying only people who in the mobile phone is just as or even more needed no phone calls, and other functions: SMS, full browser, email, player cards, voice recorder, calendar, Twitter, software, games…

At the same time on the iPhone you can not just double-click without looking at the screen to call the last number dialed. You will have to press the Home, unlock the screen, press the phone icon, select the tab with the latest numbers and already there - the top of the interlocutor to start calling him. And that if you're used to working with a touchscreen and nowhere promazhete.

About Sony Reader PRS-505, I wrote in detail my blog. Despite the fact that this model is no longer produced, many recognize that "five hundred and fifth" - still better in all parameters (button layout, size, contrast) electronic device on the market book readers.

What software use?

Just a couple of days ago came the family version of the Mac OS Snow Leopard - OS upgrade license, which can be installed on five computers. Despite the fact that the new version of "Makos" recently in the best traditions of Windows is recommended to put after the "second service pack », Snow Leopard earned on the laptop without any problems, speed up the work of some programs and free up ROM.

At the same Windows I have for many years as the primary browser to use Opera, but to "make" it was quite slow and sometimes buggy frankly application. I use Google Chrome on a laptop since he found where it can be downloaded. He has a favorite feature Opera (gestures, more "smart" address bar that works Back button) and thus is friendly to all Google services. What else do you need from your browser to modern man?

Almost from the start the beta version I read an email in Gmail. All attempts to move to a more "professional" email software does not run out, and even the list over time moved in the Tasks of the same Gmail.

For the calendar of events on their personal laptop and phone I have iCal. Correspondence on ICQ and Jabber, I am in Adium, Skype is always open in the eponymous program.

Twitter to read format that was originally designed for mobile phones, completely invisibly moved to iPhone. Twitterrific free program lets you read interesting to me "tvitteryan" and write in their own micro-blog and at the same time shows the symbolic amount of advertising.

Separately want to mention store "anything» Evernote, where I am right now writing answers to the questions "Layfhakera". I do not refuse from office suites in its favor, but it was really very easy to throw in Evernote sent Slava Baranski PDF with questions and begin to answer them, not thinking about preserving the written and knowing that I can always re-read later on your answers with your phone.

Of course, I always enjoy all the pleasures of users OS: iTunes player, Dictionary (forgive me for ABBYY downloaded database of dictionaries), video editor iMovie and fotohranilische iPhoto.

Well, just keep the necessary small program, separated by commas: Pixelmator, calibre, BetterZip, Transmission, Evom, Last.fm, Muxo.
