    Programming at multiple computers

    I have finally gotten a laptop and I now want to start programming on it.
    But I still want to program at my other computer, which is my base. I know version control is a good idea, I use it for one of my projects and have gotten it to work kinda between the two computers. But like 90% of the code I write never leaves my computers, I often write stuff for myself, programs that help me doing stuff. I often got about 2-3 active projects, and maybe 5 or so on freeze. I don't want to set up cvs for all of those projects, as I said they aren't even programmed so they can run at any computer.

    What is the best way to solve this? Should I just sync my Projects folder between the two computers (somehow) or is there any other solution that is better?

    Also, the project I've set up cvs for, if I start to code on a feature or bug at one of the computers, but can't finish it so I can commit it, how the hell can I continue on the other computer on that feature (sync?)? I only have access to my laptop during school (and some weekends).

    Any tip or comments about what you guys do are welcome

    Or use dropbox. Install dropbox app on on both computers. Store the work in the dropbox folder on the computer. when you open the other it will update the files to be the same.
    Sometimes the Programmer
    Sometimes the DBA

    Okay. Yeah I normally use dropbox so will probably configure that to sync my projects.
