Live Mesh + Mobile + Netbook

If you've ever read any of my blogs, you know I am HUGE fan of Live Mesh. (mesh.live.com)  Like many of you I have several pieces of equipment I use. (Laptops, Desktops, Servers etc.) Well now I have it on my mobile phone as well. Ill give you a little preview of hos I use mesh.

Here is my folder structure:

• Docs - (Synced with laptops, server and desktop) Awesome for netbook statelessness and server based documentation)
• WorkingSet - (Project Reports, status reports, receipts etc.)
• Technical -  (Duh. White Papers, Techdocs etc.)
• Personal - (My Microsoft Money file for example)
• OneNote - By using OneNote from this folder I have my notes from my netbook or laptop anywhere I need them!
• EBooks - I read a lot.
• Favorites - I use this to sync my favorites without using the Live toolbar. Sorry on a netbook toolbars take valuable screen real estate.
• ServerStuff - I use this in case I am browsing the web and find a script or something I want to keep and or try. That way its always on my server when I need it.
• Mobile Pictures - My favorite new feature, but not for what you think. I use my phone now to take pictures of whiteboards after meetings (legally of course) and than can stick the picture in my OneNote notebook for later. Well and quick pictures of my 2 year old twins as well.
• Twin Pics - Any pictures my wife or I upload to this folder of our twins get automatically delivered to the several family members across the country we have invited to this folder so they can have pics of the kids anytime they want. Also keeping it off flickr gets rid of having to be tech support for logins etc.

So there is how I use Mesh, I will add more as time goes by. But if you have an XP notebook and are not using mesh today - get it now!

 I promise my next blog entry will be all about virtualization.
