How to share notes across multiple machines
Throughout the day, I am working on multiple machines. And sometimes I need to a way to note down some ideas, links, articles in whome I’ll be looking later on, and at that time I could be on different machine. Its also important that its an OS independent solution.
Earlier I used backpackit to write down notes, links etc. But It was cumbersome, I had to go to my backpackit page and than add the required thing still It allowed you to add notes, check lists, links etc.
Now a days I’m using Google Notebook. It allows you to add text clippings, images and links to your notebook. And you can access it on any machines. It becomes more useful and productive with the help of firefox extension for google notebook where you just select the text (or link, image) and right click and Note this! (Or Clip it) And you are done. Now you can access the notes on any other machines.
It also allows you to comment, tag your ideas along with providing the functionality of sharing the notebook and many new improvements.
Tell me how do you share notes when working across multiple machines.

Why dont you use a web browser and enter “http://:5801″ in the address window. The reference 5801 is to a port. Make sure you have that port open on the remote machine and that it is turned on. Ensure that the firewall is set to allow the connection. You could also try remote desktop or whatever equivalent the OS has. Failing that share a folder on the remote machine and on the machine you are on (assuming it is WIndows) click on RUN and enter “\\<IP address of remote machine and then browse the shared folder. Remember to set permissions permissions correctly on the remote machine
These may work, when you don’t have full control over machine. In my day time, I’m working on my office computer, where access are restricted ( to mention one I cannot do remote hosting to my office PC from home). Hence web based tools required.
