Dropbox
So, I’ve ben learning the PHP with some help from my friend Lateef. We were talking over IM about some files, and he had the great suggestion of switching my MAMP directory from the default one, to a new folder in my Dropbox. Then I could share it with him and he could see the file instantly and make changes and those changes would update my file. We were using it last night while I was trying to wrap my head around doing math problems with PHP. My Head is still reeling from that.
Now I am thinking of all the amazing Dropbox possibilities. The best thought I have had so far is that I could sync stuff from my work computer to my home computer without using LogMeIn. I have been trying to figure out a good way to get things back and forth, and email had been the solution up to now. The main obstacle is IT. They are cautious, as they should be, about things taking up precious bandwidth on the network and/or internet connection. If this weren’t the case I would be copying all the local files for the website back and forth via Dropbox. That way I would not need to work on files locally, yet have them update on my computer back in Asheville.
If only I ran the circus.
