unison

Paul Westbrook | 26 March, 2005 20:10

I have been using unison to synchronize files between my computers where the the files may change on any of the computers.  It is very similar to rsync, but it allows two way synchronization.

I use this to synchronize our iPhoto library between our two laptops.  From each laptop, I run unison to synchronize the iPhoto library to our linux sever (via ssh).  Since this is a two way synchronization, all of the laptops have access to the same iPhoto library.  (I generally do all additions to the iPhoto library on one of the laptops, so I don't have to deal with potential conflicts.)

View ip address in GeekTool

Paul Westbrook | 26 March, 2005 12:41

In the course of reconstructing my computer from the bad hard drive, I needed to find all of the GeekTool scripts that I had been using.  The macosxhints hint describes a script that will display the local ip address as well as the public ip on the desktop.
