I use Little Snapper all the time for collecting screenshots of websites and my work, it’s a great way of saving all those snippets of creativity. I use two machines my desktop and my laptop and I needed a way to keep both of these in sync. I also wanted to be able to edit and use Little Snapper on both machines, although not at the same time so that if I was casually using my laptop on the sofa it would automatically update when I used my work computer.

I do this by using Little Snapper and DropBox – If you want to do this then here’s how:

1. You will need a copy of Little Snapper

2. You will also need a Dropbox account (remember the more images you store in little snapper the more your dropbox account will expand).

3. Install Little Snapper

4. In Little Snapper go to the Preferences then Advanced choose Create New Library

5. Name the Library whatever you want and save the location to your DropBox

6. Close down Little Snapper, and go to your second machine or installation of Little Snapper.

7. On the second machine load up Little Snapper and go to Preferences – Advanced and select Choose for the Library

8. Select the Library from your DropBox one (you just created)

9. Close down the application down, now open it up again and hey presto you now have the same Little Snapper database between both machines.

The database will now sync between machines as you add new items to it, if you do this for the first time and have a large DB of data wait for Dropbox to sync completly before opening Little Snapper.

Having just the one copy of the Little Snapper database is great and it means I can use either machine to save a collate ideas into the program and will be updated to the other machine.

So here are a few links to apps I have been using/testing out over the last few months.

Smultron – HTML code editor – very handy little HTML/CODE/CSS Editor using this instead of the equally good TACO – download here http://tuppis.com/smultron/

Things – GTD app for mac – like this one as iGTD keeps crashing and losing my data! – download here http://culturedcode.com/things/

Taskbarn – online project/task managment – nice and simple does exactly what it should – view here www.taskbarn.com

Orchestrate App – did try this but still find it to0 restricting and hard as hell to get it to do what I want!

That’s it for now, will try and write at least one review of something I using later this month…

An excellent all round package for task management, easy to use and intuitive too.  You can also use this on your iPhone – read the iPhone app information here

Things – from Cultured Code

If you write for, or maintain a blog, you know how tedious it can be to fiddle with the online interfaces while writing. If you write for multiple blog, this tediousness is compounded. For this reason, developers have created desktop blogging clients.
