digivore Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hi Guys, I had an Idea I was hoping to get some help with. I find myself working on 3 or 4 different computers during the course of a day. 2 at work (1 XP and 1 Ubuntu) and 2 at home (1 XP and 1 Ubuntu). My problem is that I may be researching some topics on one system, find some useful information. But may need to transfer it over to another computer to continue with it there. I found that sometimes E-mailing myself links,instructions, lines of code works, but it's not as efficient as I would like it to be. I have apache set up on my home Ubuntu, and I was hoping to get some input on how I can set it up to be a personal 'clipboard' or post-bin web page to use between systems. I have seen a couple existing services on the net that are set up to do this, but I was really hoping to do this on my own system. I thought a really basic Blog type idea might work even.. Any Help/Ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autofix Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Are the 2 computers right next to eachother? If so you could try using something like Synergy, so you can just copy and paste from one to the other with a network clipboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyintheroom Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 You can also try out EverNote http://evernote.com/ You can install the desktop client on all your systems and it will sync to your account on the web automatically. Your data will be available to you wherever you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digivore Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thanks for the ideas, but unfortunately Synergy won't fully resolve my issue. And Evernote looks great, except that it's mainly for Windows and Mac. There are tutorials for installing it in WINE in Linux, but I don't want to go there. Maybe I need to search harder for some HTML code for a basic 'paste-bin' clipboard web page template... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digivore Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 So turns out what I was looking for all along was a "Personal Wiki". It suits exactly what I need. If anyone is interested you can find a few options here. This serves as a notepad that I can access from any computer/browser. I'm pretty sure I like instiki, it seems the simplest so far, and there is security on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
