One slight problem I've encountered with developing purely on my laptop for my own projects is source control.  I take regular backups using Microsoft Sync Toy to my NAS box at home which is fine for the disaster recovery scenario.  What I was lacking though was a way to version and recover my code back to a time before I made a stupid decision.

I've not known anything but source safe in my work environments and I've never found it that good, especially for branching and rollback scenarios, but I've stuck with it as I've been concerned about visual studio integration with other products.  But now I've found a solution.

Subversion is a good open source version control system and theres a lot of different ui's about for it as well.. the one that caught my eye was SVN Tortoise, which instead of plugging into a design environment plugs directly into explorer.  Right click on files/folders and you have complete source control, far more powerful than source safe ever offered and because it's at explorer level you can version manage anything from text files up! 

I'm just using it for simple single user roll back/tag scenarios but it's full multi user, merge as well as locking support and supports web based access to it.  Give it a try.
