Bump to that.
I workout alone most of the time, the only times you need a spotter is with squats (which you can do in a cage) and bench presses (which can be done with dumbells).
Just use common sense when working out alone, don't try to go for personal best lifts, and make sure that the weights your moving around your capable of controlling. Nothing makes you look more of an idiot than having a dumbell fly backwards and nearly tear your arm off when doing incline presses (speaking from experience there...).
