Groove Briefcase. Ray Ozzie's Weblog: One other incredibly fascinating tidbit: 25% apparently use shared spaces with only themselves as a member, using Groove as a "briefcase" to transparently and securely synchronize files across multiple computers that they own - e.g. Office documents being synchronized between home and office PCs. [Sam Gentile's Radio Weblog] This is exactly the reason I have been playing around with Groove.  I need to synchronize files between the three computers I use on a daily basis.  The killer feature I think that is missing is the ability to transparantly synchronize an arbitrary directory hierarchy.  I want to be able to Groove (with myself at least) without needing to think about it. It is a wicked cool application and only looks to be getting better at an extremely rapid pace. Update:  I am ashamed that I actually said "wicked cool". [System.Error.Emit] Don't be ashamed, it is-) I have been using Groove a lot this way also (solo better Briefcase)  to run my consulting business, and synchronizing dates. files, etc between 3 machines. The current killer feature is the disconnected case. As soon as I connect. I receive all my deltas of anything done in the space on any other machine or user in the space. On my latest trip to Redmond, I did a lot of work on the plane disconnected and then when I connected, automatic synchronization to all my machines. Sweet! 1:40:42 PM

Ok, all those .NET Stories seem to be "lost." Well, not lost in the sense that they are up on the server at Radioland as I see when people find them with Google. But they are lost in that they are not listed locally here on my local machine and I have no control over them. This must have happened when I switched over to my laptop as my main development machine. I'm going to try to re-create some of them as some actually seem quite popular (at least they get a lot of hits!) -)) Here's they are: Intoduction to .NET Languages, VS.NET and Extending VS.NET Mixing VSIP Unmanaged Code with Managed Code Is COM interop Fundamentally Flawed? Parts 1 and 2 and the all-time favorite: It's The Runtime Stupid 11:31:25 AM
