Thread: Web Interface
View Single Post
Another odd thought, regarding how to allow access to users' home machines:

Not sure if an SDK is (or even will be) out for this, but one of the features of Leopard mentioned in the WWDC Keynote was the .Mac-enabled service of "Back to My Mac", which suggests to my some form of dynamic DNS tracking/registration on a .Mac server. (I recall DNS services via .Mac being part of the Developer Preview of Tiger, too.) Would it be possible/benficial for Omni to try and take advantage of that usability for this particular application? If Apple's .Mac servers have a way of punching file sharing through whatever firewalls a user has, could it be possible to allow iPhone-to-webserver access with OF?

Again, just a thought. I suspect another solution would be better.

BTW, Ken - I genuinely do not care who sees my task list, so long as they can't edit it. If the whole world finds out that I need to buy a crap-ton of vodka and pancake syrup next time I'm out, so be it. But if they can remove Tylenol from my list, that's another story. :-) Privacy of my task list isn't a priority, at least for me. (My 2¢.)
