Sometimes I get backup questions from readers. They make my life much easier, as I don’t have to think about what to write. On May 18th I got a query from Brenton Webster. It’s a question I hadn’t been asked before. I came across your blog looking for some sync software to support a specific scenario, and thought I’d drop you a line and see if you might have a suggestion. I recently … [Read more...]
