I'm looking for some kind of file synchronization solution that would behave like Dropbox, but would sync any folders I select on my computer to a server of my choice, since I have my own hosting and would like to not have to "upload" files manually with FTP. Does such a thing exist for OSX/is there a smarter solution for this?

Essentially this is a front-end for git. Works pretty well on Snow Leopard and Linux, not so well for Windows, not at all for Lion (yet).

Dropbox is essentially a slick front end to SVN + rsync, so you could roll your own with a little effort.

I don't see what the point of this post is? Nothing Apple is doing is totally new with 10.8 , it's just slick and refined, and people will actually use it unlike half those Windows features.

edit: oh I shouldn't have fallen for that

To be fair he was right on one thing, OSX really needs a OneNote.

I guess I'm just curious if anyone's actually switched to Messenger from other clients.

Yo, that would be me.

Adium > Messages:
------
MSN support
Wacky skins

Messages > Adium
------
iMessage support (killer app for most people - answer texts from your pc? yes plz)
AV chat support
Way more attractive UI
Super-easy chat transcript search
Super-easy interface for sending messages (start typing name, it autopopulates from address book)

Neither Messages nor Adium
------
Skype support (Adium has it in a hack but all it does is echo from a running copy of Skype)


Adium is slightly better than iChat unless you need AV chat. Messages blows Adium away.

It's the lack of FB-chat

It supports FB chat.

Ran Mountain Lion for a couple of days but I'm going to roll back. Nothing at all compelling about running it right now (the best part is Messages, which is out for Lion!) and a ton of apps aren't compatible.

What's the best Python development environment on OSX? Xcode + use PDB for debugging?

I use SlickEdit, it just had a native OSX version come out (earlier versions ran in Java similar to Eclipse) and does pretty much everything. I use it for Lua and PHP mostly but pretty sure it has Python debugger support.

Don't ever work for a Korean company, then. The Korean government made all of its mandatory-for-citizens online apps IE ActiveX controls, so pretty much every Korean web app is IE only now. Yes, it's as painful as it sounds.
