How do you keep 2 separate notebooks to work with? How do you access your mail, code libraries, music, important files etc... on both? Do you sync them with dropbox or something?
I have 2 laptops - a Vaio for Windows related work and a Macbook for mac/iphone related work and I'm always struggling about which one to take when I go on a trip (when I don't have any specific work but like to keep a laptop handy anyway). The Macbook is lighter and more convenient but the Vaio has most of my mail and personal files.
- mark_l_watson 16y agoGood question. I rely on my git repos to store all writing materials, programming projects, etc. My customers usually have my work on their svn or git repos. Also, I rely on GMail, my own getting things done web portal, my own (work in progress) consulting management web app, and Google docs. This stuff is available from any computer. One more thing: I keep a small encrypted partition on all three laptops that contain my .ssh, .ec2, etc. credentials. I use soft links from my home directory to this encrypted partition. Hopefully if I lose a laptop then my credentials are not up for grabs.
