I have been searching for a good application that would allow me to sync my projects between computers.   I tried a few free applications (like DirSync Pro), but I couldn’t find anything that really worked.  A co-worker of mine told me about SyncBack from 2BrightSparks.  They have several products, but I have been using the SyncBack SE (based on my needs).  It is awesome!  The user sets up profiles at each workstation to perform specific tasks.  I have one on each computer that I use to transfer files to and from my USB drive.  You even have the ability to ignore certain files (i.e. executables and other files that are not needed).

SyncBack SE is definitely worth checking out.  They have a 30 day trial.  It is just enough time to get you sucked in.

Here is a link to a program I’ve been using lately.  It is called DirSync Pro –  I’ve been looking for a good way to sync my projects between computers. This seems to work pretty well.

If you have a suggestion please let me know.

I had to solve a problem a PHP script tonight that was giving a “PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted …” message.  Debugging PHP is pretty tough (any tips).  Anyhow, I found a site that mentioned using the ini_set(“memory_limit”,”12M”); command.  This didn’t work, but I did as suggested and bumped the memory up to 50M and it finally worked.  We are trying to parse a large soap file, so I wonder if this is a good practice, or could we have some “poor” coding problems?  As far as I can tell the code looks good.

Here are a few links that I found on optimizing your PHP code.  There are several, but here are some I wanted to read.
