Stephen Wolfram Uses This

I'm hoping some day that he goes into more detail about the system he uses to catalog conversations. I'm actually trying to work on a project similar to that.<p>Wil Shipley talked about it upon meeting him at Ted in this blog entry: <a href="http://wilshipley.com/blog/2010/03/ted-2010.html" rel="nofollow">http://wilshipley.com/blog/2010/03/ted-2010.html</a> (towards the bottom of the entry)

&#62; <i>What would be your dream setup?</i><p>&#62; <i>Mathematica + Wolfram|Alpha everywhere!</i><p>That's a funny dream, considering he charges a few thousand for a copy of Mathematica. I'm sure he'd have a larger user base if it were less expensive (or free…).

<i>"I've also had systems built for me personally. One of the more important is my archiving and searching system, which includes 25 years of email (and 20 years of keystroke data), as well as searchable scans of all my archived paper documents."</i><p>What do you think he means by "20 years of keystroke data"?

Am I the only one to think that Mr. Wolfram manages in few words to appear to be both pretentious and unfriendly?

I loved the "interview" and also the website. I have always wondered what the great people use on a daily basis.<p>But it could use some sane URL organization. Sub domains are horrible for quick "select and erase/replace" actions, though I understand the final result is quite beautiful.

This (FTA) would be creepy to see roaming around: <a href="http://anybots.com/" rel="nofollow">http://anybots.com/</a>

Been a fan of the setup for a while, thanks for the engaging interviews.<p>Wanted to let you know that your rss feed seems broken.

in response to the last "the setup" interview posted here, i created a "setups" subreddit for people to post links to their own articles describing their workspaces<p><a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/setups/" rel="nofollow">http://www.reddit.com/r/setups/</a>

I find it incredibly goofy that he uses Mathematica for everything.

Yes but where's the cellular automata? Those things can do <i>EVERYTHING</i>

Once you've got that much money, and therefore don't need to make a choice, this kind of information becomes a lot less useful.<p>It would be like wondering which car a top class football player drives, or which flight tickets the USA president uses.<p>:(

This was the most uninteresting usethis.<p>He barely touched the thing his usethis would be most interesting, the fact that he claims to record so much.<p>He may be a good mathematician and project manager. but hardly fun for a usethis

I like a man who spouts off about how great it is to use software builds that are (gasp!) an hour old! That's so 1337 dude! Welcome to the world of open source, douche bag.<p>I appreciate that I probably shouldn't be nagging on the guy who built Mathematica. But seriously? webMathematica? yawn.
