The point behind TomBoy

I've started using TomBoy over a year ago. it sounded a very reasonable tool to make my own "wiki". As it grew larger and larger, I was wondering of a way to move it to other computers I use.


That wish materialized one day after some research. I needed to define a path where all my files are stored. It turned out that this option was killed in my version (a very old one). After some research I managed to renew it. Then you would do the following:

Edit->Preferences->Synchronization and set a path for that file.
Then you can send a copy of that file to your second machine. And through the same process, set your TomBoy to "see" that folder.
Done! and life is good.

You can synchronize Tomboy with other machines using DropBox. Simply follow these instructions:

and make sure to "kill" all tomboy processes using shell before trying it.

An Easy Recipe to install ROOT

#I am assuming you are using tcsh
cd somedir
wget ftp://root.cern.ch/root/root_v5.26.00c.source.tar.gz
tar xzf root_v5.26.00c.source.tar.gz
setenv ROOTSYS $PWD/root
setenv PATH $ROOTSYS/bin:$PATH
cd root
./configure
make
