Bonjour enabled App?

Hello everyone, noob GTD'er, 3/4 way thru the book, reading TONNES on the web, and can already get a sense of what I need to make GTD work...

I work on three different machines, two desktop, and one Powerbook. Through the course of the day I bounce from one machine to the other constantly. I also have a Palm which I haven't been using much and feel rather ambivilant about.

For tracking all the shoots I do, the number of hrs, the amount of files, external resources, etc. I use iBiz

I mention this because iBiz works on a server/client model with my desktop hosting the server. With Bonjour, the networking is seamless, and clients have the ability to "check out" from the server, allowing me to take the laptop to work on location or at home.

Is there an app that is well suited for GTD with this kind of model? A web based solution my machine could host could work too. I have played with Backpack, but I'd prefer something I can own!

Thanks for the help, this forum looks great!

I installed it with only...

I installed it with only a little bit of difficulty. My difficulty came from having Tracks in a subdirectory. I subsequently figured out that since it runs on port 3000, you can put it in a domain root and not have conflicts. After that, it was really easy. And it is sooooo sexy. See also this post.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
