Going Minimalist with Your Computing

During the past months I completely redesigned my hardware and software setup, because I had to adapt to new situations and conditions of digital activity. In 2011 I started experimenting in the name of flexibility. I reached a new level of digital consciousness and activity.

 For some time, I decided to use a minimalist web-based linux distribution: xPUD. I also tried different distros, but after some time they couldn’t fit my needs anymore. So I just got back to Ubuntu Linux (now I’m using the 11.04) and sticked with it.

 My online computing experience

In 2011 I used simpletext.ws, Meebo, Gmail, Grooveshark, Youtube.

Some of them don’t fit my routine anymore. So I stopped using them.

Now my online experience resolves around Gmail, Blogger, Archive.org

 Files management:

In past: I used to save files whenever I could.

Now: I save files for a limited period of time, before deleting them. I usually keep files I write, before publishing them.

 I only know that, just like Leo Babauta told me in his Interview, these are probably steps towards simplifying my computing life.
