[Hidden-tech] Version Control

[McK66 Productions]

I've had a free Dropbox account installed on my laptop for about 2 weeks now, and haven't had any reason to use it yet, but I have heard great things as well... Seemed highly regarded by disparate sources - but Web Worker Daily solidified it for me...

I also have Tortoise/Subversion installed - which I *do* use for some larger projects - even on projects where I am the sole programmer...

Additionally, I just purchased two 1-TB SeaGate external HDs (Currently on sale at Staples until 3/21 at $119.99/ea) for storing mirrored versions of client-site back-up TGZs I download from my RackSpace server - Need to work on an RDIFF approach, because my ISP will probably be very unhappy with a residential account pushing 20+ GB throughput every couple of days or so... but, I digress...

In a situation like this, it might be worth checking out Dropbox:
http://www.getdropbox.com/

You assign a folder as the dropbox folder and anything you put in it
is synched up to their servers and to any other machines you have
linked to it (works on Win/Mac/Linux). It also only uploads
modifications to files as they change, similar to Subversion or any of
the others. Has a web interface you can use, can optionally make some
content public, etc. Free for 2GB, $10 a month for 50GB.

I haven't actually used it yet, but have heard some good reviews from
people and it seems like it'd be easy to get up and running with for
someone without a lot of tech experience.
