As far as operating systems are concerned, I will use whatever works: usually this means [http://www.kernel.org/ Linux], [http://www.apple.com/macosx/ MacOS], or [http://www.bsd.org/ BSD]. This preference, however, is hardly religious: operating systems are ultimately just tools and what's really important is whether the solution works. Not to mention, it's always fun to check out some quirky, obscure operating system in search of interesting new ideas.
As far as programming goes, my skills lie mostly with the [http://www.perl.org Perl] language, although I'm also pretty handy with a [http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/ bash] script and have recently been spending a lot of time working on learning [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_(programming_language) Scheme] and [http://clisp.cons.org/ Common Lisp]. I first began programming with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSX_BASIC MSX-BASIC] on an old [http://www.rgp.nl/cx5m/ Yamaha CX5M] with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zilog_Z80 Z80] processor. Since then, I've mostly continued by tinkering in my spare time, and have dabbled in languages including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_(programming_language) C], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B C++], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_programming_language Pascal], [http://www.csounds.com/ Csound], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MUF_(programming_language) Multi User Forth], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-BASIC TI Basic], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Basic VisualBasic] and [http://www.holtsoft.com/turing/ Turing].
