I try to force myself to use Things on a daily basis. I had put the library files on a local server, but with “Back To My Mac” enabled, I had troubles accessing it over the net sometimes.

When I read about Dropbox, I reminded myself that I’m spending quite some money every year on Apple’s .mac (now Mobile Me) service, but 99% of the time I am just using the email part of it.

So, I wanted to see if I could put the Things library on the iDisk, despite the fact that their FAQ says it’s not possible.

It is possible.

1. Quit Things.
2. Enable “iDisk Sync” in the Mobile Me preferences pane.
3. Move your Things library (if you have not changed anything, it sits in ~/Library/Application Support/Cultured Code) to your iDisk.
4. Create a symlink from ~/Library/Application Support/Cultured Code to /Volumes/iDisk/Documents/Cultured Code.
5. Launch Things – if a request comes up, browse to ~/Library/Application Support/Cultured Code/Things and select it

Voila. Life can be easy sometimes.
