I’ve been using Dropbox for a few months and I must admit that it is a really great and useful service.
Dropbox provides you with a 2Gb space for storing and synchronizing files across several computers (e.g., work and home). It works in a seamless fashion:
Dropbox also supports a notion of shared folders so that you can easily exchange some stuff with friends. You can also have public folders and give the URL of a file there to the world.
Last but not least, it works well across firewalls (I can speak of that as I’ve been through some very picky ones). I don’t know if they are using a WebDAV protocol or a custom one… did anyone sniff the network traffic?
It is currently an invitation-only service (thanks Guillaume!), so leave me an email if you want to try out, I have a few invitations left!
I went back to check out the pages of BerliOS which was the previous IzPack developer services hosting provider.
While most of the infrastructure is still based on the aging Sourceforge codebase, I was pleased to see that the administrators are no short of service improvements. Indeed, BerliOS is now providing Git and Mercurial hosting. Cool!
One more mix, fresh from the bakery
I’d be interested to know how many of you are actually downloading them?
Anyone interested in a Podcast? Just drop a comment!

Here’s a rather quiet holiday mix that I made for fun. Enjoy!
