		<title>Dropbox, SugarSync, Live Sync</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


  
A while ago I had to look for an alternative for live-sync (the Microsoft synchronization tool between multiple computer) because Apple hadn't bothered to tell anyone in advance of certain changes between OSX 10.5 and 10.6. I chose Dropbox. Dropbox is a paid for service and it works pretty much like Live Sync, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Colibri &#8211; Quicksilver for Windows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was looking for a quicksilver replacement for windows ... I'm a commandline person for launching applications, what can I say. So I installed colibri. It works great but for a few oddities with windows 7 64 bit: when I want to launch a 64 bit application (like photoshop) via a shortcut to the "C:\Program [...]]]></description>

I'm streaming all content from a windows home server (I've iso-ed all the kids movies - mostly to protect them since they will get scratched) from where I stream the iso and avi files through the C200. admittedly I've only had the device 1 [...]]]></description>

		<title>VMware Sizing</title>

		<title>Ruby Soap Client</title>
