For those not following Twitter, I picked up a MacBook Air last week, and have slowly been moving my stuff off from the Dell. The Dell can now serve as a full development machine, and I can start running &#8220;unstable&#8221; Linuxes on it now (&#8220;unstable&#8221; like Rawhide).<\/p>\n<p>But I digress.

Google Browser Sync. Though I suspect that in the very near future, I&#8217;ll move over to Mozilla Weave, and get all my systems up to speed with Firefox 3.<\/p>\n<p>Next up, lets see how long I run OS X on the Air&#8230; or do I replace it with Linux if it annoys me significantly enough?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, I completed my migration of my personal machine to one that runs OS X.
