Thanks Scott! I am becoming a heavy dropbox user. Thinking about upgrading to paid account as well. Lots of materials I use and my current projects are stored in a nicely crafted folder hierarchy inside it. It does not beat using a real vcs/scm software but for my single user purposes it works well.
The cool thing about dropbox is that requires zero maintenance. I just use it as a normal folder and it works. For example, I am building some library code here, I am workaholic so I know that I will want to touch it while having lunch on the next day on my station at my workplace (lunch time is my time, not company time) so I just launch LiveCode and since my dropbox folder is kept always up to date, my recent library project is already there waiting. For my other needs, I use mercurial and bitbucket.org. When you go to http://hg.andregarzia.com to see some of my recent projects, you're actually going to my bitbucket.org page. I think it is great for public and commercial projects but for quickies, I just use dropbox, sometimes I use a combination of both by placing a repo inside a dropbox folder but this serves no purpose except not loosing stuff in the mess that my HD usually is. I haven't had a good HD organization since Mac OS 9 or Minix, in those two system I actually knew where things were and what they were supposed to do. Now, I am quite competent with my unix-like userland and NeXT heritage but installed software, specially installed software from linux tends to spread all over the place... I miss easy to understand systems. On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 8:05 PM, Shadow Slash <[email protected]>wrote: > DropBox is an application.
