… when you’ve got nothing better to do.
Cris was out with her fellow teachers on a trip to Baguio for the weekend, which meant I was home alone the whole weekend.
I used the downtime as an opportunity to fix my iTunes library some more – but with twenty-plus thousand songs, obviously it’s still not done. Then idle thoughts started creeping in… Read More
Ok a lot of people have been asking for this. So for all two of you, here’s how to get your multiple Mac machine’s synced up without having to resort to a paid service (e.g. MobileMe) 😉 This is where everything is going… you mark my words.
Now for the obligatory introduction:
As you all know, computers have become more and more integrated into our everyday lives. And apart from the OS, there are some applications that we rely on almost all the time. Mail, Calendars, Addressbooks, etc. And these are constantly updated. And in the era of portable computing, keeping these devices “synchronized” is an important, but difficult task.
I’m here to give you some suggestions on how to deal with such data – because on OS X you can have near-realtime, reliable synchronization for free. Read More

The reason why it so much better though, the reason why I myself have purchased the application despite my ability to easily source a pirated license, is how well thought out the whole application is. It’s one of those things that just clicks with you once you start using it… and you suddenly find out that you can’t live without it. Read More
Yes, it’s intentionally singular.
For the uninitiated, “the Cloud” is the intarwebz; and just as .Mac or MobleMe would want to host your data in the Cloud, I found myself recently trying to accomplish the same thing.
This will be a long post, but I can say with a certain degree of confidence that the information here can be very useful should it be applicable to you.
