Tip #3: Shared OneNote notebooks with Live Mesh
OneNote allows users to create shared notebooks by using a shared folder or a SharePoint repository. When two persons who want to share a notebook are in different countries then a shared folder is not a too feasible solution. A SharePoint repository can be created for free on Office Small Business but you have only 50 MB for storage and you need at least basic SharePoint knowledge.
As you might already know, Live Mesh allows one to sync files across multiple computers. A big advantage is the Live Desktop - a 5000 MB online storage location that can be used for storage. When computers involved in the sync are not simultaneously online, the files are synced with the Live Desktop and, when the computers are back online, the files will be synced.
The sharing with Live Mesh works like this: add notebooks’ files on Mesh and they can sync across computers. When a notebook is updated, if you are online the change will be sent/received to/from the Live Desktop.

I Won, Again
Since I found Community Credit (the community that “gives stupid prizes to smart people”), I submitted points for my activity (writing, presentations, organization etc.).
Maybe some remember that in April I won a set of ties from CC (reminder). There is a delay in sending the prizes – I talked to David Silverlight about this – but eventually the ties will be send. The delay is even larger because I will move to the Netherlands in the second half of August and my address will change, so I will receive both prizes there.
Yes, it is correct what I wrote above: “both prizes”. I just won the Grand Prize of July 2009!
I won a Mimo Mini USB Monitor. Since I first saw it, I knew that I want it :) It is a cool geeky gadget that allows you to extend your display on a 7” monitor that connects to USB. The cool thing is that you can attach more of this devices to a single computer (I think up to 6). It is not an indispensable device but it is small and portable so you can take it everywhere with you.
I hope the prizes will arrive soon so I can start the promised contest with the ties.
