Unison for Library sync?

Hi,

I've been reading through some of the suggested tips for synching a laptop and a desktop. It's unclear what everyone is actually synching.

Specifically, I guess I'd like to synch my whole home folder, including the Library. Is this okay? Will it do anything unpleasant to either mac? What do you sync?

Thanks in advance.

New Users Can't Register with IE-7

Greetings 43Folders Bug Exterminators! For at least two weeks attempts to register as a new user using IE7 failed; the "operation aborted" error pop-up window appears. I tried using several computers. Ultimately I registered using Firefox so I could post this message; since only registered users can participate on the forums, there was no way to let you know about the problem. If you check your page logs you may see evidence for the above... or try it yourself.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
