bookmark management

I use two main PCs, a desktop and a laptop, with shared drives and VNC and suchlike, often flinging data, work, music, etc, between the two, or using the drives of the other via drive mappings.

One thing that was a real pain in the arse was if I had browsed a lot (usually LJ), opening tonnes of tabs, then wanted to shift to the other machine (say, to go to bed... I use the laptop in bed tonnes, to read before sleep) ... and reopen all I was browsing on the other machine.

I hadn't realised it was as convenient as bookmarking all open tabs (this is Firefox-based, btw), then "manage bookmarks" and "export"... which makes a wee html page I can save to somewhere convenient, reopen on the other box and open-in-new-tab-click the contents of the last folder.

Joy.

It'd be ultra-cute if there was an even easier way... any suggestions?

multi-computer utilities

Another useful util if you jump between a few machines regularly: Letterbox

Dead, dead simple, it just adds a tray notification to whether or not there is new mail waiting in a POP account. Like it would if you ran (say) Outlook (I use Eudora) on both machines, pointed at the same account.

Except, rather than actually pick up the mail on the other machine (a pain in the arse, I don't want to manage two mailboxes on different machines), it just lets you know there's something there.

Typically, I'll then pick up my mail on my other computer via VNC, if I'm not sat at it at the time.

I actually grabbed this program because I'm not used to running my POP mail program constantly... I often do all sorts of high-CPU-drain shit, mostly musical, which means I'm in the habit of closing everything but essentials to keep a stable, fast platform for my sequencer / what-have-you. This meant, the next day, I'd get up to angry emails asking why I'd not replied, basically, because I'd quit Eudora the middle of the previous day, and the mail had piled up. This app's small enough as to not use any real resources, and I don't get barked at anymore because I know there's mail waiting even if I'm on another computer. I like this.

I'm aware this isn't ultra-high-tech, but it works very nicely for me. If you've got a better solution, let me know :)

Woah.

Sarah Chalke, who plays Elliot Reid (who clearly wants me) in Scrubs (which you must enjoy, or suffer death at my hands) used to play Rebecca in Roseanne (the second actress to do so, not the younger-Rebecca).

Now my world's all mixed up.
