As I previously posted, it’s fairly easy to sync lots of settings using SVN and symbolic links. Sometimes, when working on a new computer it can take hours to get setup in a comfortable working environment.This can minimize the process. I, personally, set this system up to keep my work and home computers in sync.

To recap on what it does: So far I’ve got my Firefox Bookmarks, Address Book data, TextMate Snippets, .bash_profile and .vimrc dynamically SVNed (ie. as far as the applications know, these configuration files are exactly where they should be, while they are actually in my subversioned Resources directory).

Also in Resources are such miscellanea as code snippets, cheat sheets, icons, vector resources and bash scripts.

As for the FOWD conference, it was fun, but I found the talks too basic. Paul Boag (Boag World), Nicholas Felton (Daytum) and Mike Kus (Carsonified) were the stars of the show, talking about handling clients, obsessive self-reporting, and web design as Art, respectively.
