To do sync via your own WiFi, turn on WiFi on your Mac, select Create Network... from the Airport menu, set up the net, make sure OmniFocus is running on the Mac, use the Settings app on the iPod to connect to the WiFi net you've created, then launch OmniFocus and sync. You'll have to have set up Bonjour sync on your Mac, and hopefully your databases aren't too dissimilar at this point, because I don't think there's an easy way to reconcile them if you can't get the iPod to sync to SwissDisk at least once. Fancy a trip to Beijing to visit the Apple Store? :-)

It seems Bonjour syncing will be the way to go for these next few months. I've already managed to sync up via Bonjour. Thank you for that. After years of simply using SwissDisk it's befuddling to me that I forget OmniFocus is still a powerhouse filled with other methods of getting itself connected. My only qualm about Bonjour is that I won't be syncing my devices as much as I normally do when i'm back in the states, usually syncing every hour. Now it seems i'll most likely be syncing in the mornings before heading out the door and at night when things are wrapping up; alongside those few afternoons when i'm idling at home.
As for the Apple Store, my buddy has been wanting to migrate from an old PC to a new Mac, though the nearest Apple Store in Beijing is about 4 hours away by train. There is a mock Apple Store in this city at an electronics mall, and though they sell legitimate MacBooks and iPads, the prices are almost double considering they have to travel this further inland.. a 16GB iPad (1st Gen) costs $900 american. I initially went into this electronics store in hopes of finding a case for my MBP, with no luck. Nevertheless I definetaly am looking to hitting up the Apple store in Beijing soon, considering I do have AppleCare and my Mac is been acting a bit randomly at times. I'm even holding off on downloading Lion, considering if something goes wrong, in this random city i'll be screwed. Not worth the risk, though I'm dying over wanting to use LaunchPad and Mission control.
