I recently [said goodbye to my job of three and a half years as a Developer III at Q2](https://gaiety.life/moving-on-from-q2) where I teased exciting things upcoming in the near future.
|
|
|
|
_More news on the job itself soon, but for now let's talk tech!_
|
|
|
|
## The Laptop
|
|
|
|
I've fallen in love with this **Dell XPS 13 9380** with a 4k touch display and 16GB of ram shipped running Ubuntu out of the box. Coming soon are new home-office pieces such as monitors, arms, and a new desk which I'll be sure to post about when they arrive.
|
|
|
|
It came in Silver with a big Dell logo on the back before I got my hands on it, I've used some **vehicle interrior Adhesive Wrap by StyleTECH** trimmed with an x-acto knife to achieve the carbon fiber look and cover up the logo. A major benefit, besides the beautiful aesthetic, are I can add stickers as I please to the laptop without fear of ruining the laptop itself.
|
|
|
|
The stickers are primarily from Redbubble as now many tech companies actually sell stickers directly - although I hope to add a DuckDuckGo official logo soon.

## The Dotfiles / Config
|
|
|
|
My [2019 Dotfiles](https://gitlab.com/gaiety/dotfiles) are fresh and made just for this build codenamed: _Space Octopus_. At a glance these dotfiles use [**Hyper**](https://hyper.is/) terminal, [**Zsh (and Oh-My-Zsh)**](https://ohmyz.sh/) shell, [**Hasklig**](https://github.com/i-tu/Hasklig/) font, [**Ag**](https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher) searching, [**Fzf**](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) fuzzy-finding and [**NeoVim**](https://neovim.io/) as the primary editor.

I'm still on the lookup for a nice Window Tiler and tree browsing solution. We'll see!
|
|
|
|
I've also done a fair amount of [Gnome Tweaks](https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-tweaks) and [Shell Tweaks](https://itsfoss.com/gnome-shell-extensions/) including [Dash to Panel](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1160/dash-to-panel/) and the [Flat Remix GTK shell theme](https://www.pling.com/p/1214931).
