I have been kicking the tires with Microsoft’s Live Mesh recently, and I am finding it pretty cool. As I do more work from home, or places for that matter, Mesh appears to be a good way to access documents from device to device.
One thing I hadn’t considered is a the social or community aspect. A blog post at SSIS Junkie announced a project using Live Mesh to manage a SQL code repository. I am just getting started with this, but so far it looks quite promising.
The collaboration angle is rather important to me as I work in Northern Michigan. There are plenty of DBAs in the area, but finding people with an interest and skill in things like SSIS and functional programming is not that easy. The nearest organized .Net or SQL Server user group is two hours away in Grand Rapids. So finding collaboration opportunities is a welcome thing.
