Sliced Orange’s posterous

I'm pretty close to finishing the first step of the Migration from Windows Vista to Mac OSX with a Windows Server development environment.

This step involved taking all of the essentials of my life and moving them online.  Although this could be seen as a risky move with multiple security and privacy issues, I weighed up the pros and cons and decided it was worth doing for the sheer convenience it would give.

I now have the following in place:

1. Email powered by gmail, all of my POP3 email is accessed by gmail and stored on Google's servers.  This allows me to access my email from any location with an internet connection, the only limiting factor is the fact that I rely on having a connection.  This account is also integrated with my iPhone.
2. My calendar is synced from iPhone to Outlook to Google (http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en-ie&answer=89955) and vice versa.  Obviously there is a reliance on Outlook here, this will be replaced by iCal on Mac once that environment is up and running.
3. All of my bookmarks are now held in Delicious (http://delicious.com).

This leaves my files and documents, at the moment I'm testing out SugarSync (http://www.sugarsync.com) which will hopefully plug this hole.

In terms of media (music, photos etc.) I store my music on an external HDD which is backed up to another drive using a simple batch command.  My photos are slowly (painfully so) being migrated to Flickr.

The above setup is perfect for me, obviously the big limiter is having an Internet connection, however, I find that modern life is so Internet dependant that you can pretty much find a connection point or WiFi access wherever you go.  Additionally as a fallback I have my iPhone, so as long as I have cell signal I'm good to go.

The solution I've chosen may not suit everyone, but I've had enough experience of reinstalling Windows to be sick of having to backup and migrate key files and settings, as well as all of my user files.  Storing all of my essential data in centralised online repositories should essentially mean I can work on pretty much any machine with minimal or no setup.

I'd like to hear from anyone who has chosen a similar setup or can recommend any software that might help or streamline my structure.
