Synergy keyboard and mouse sharing

I have been using this for a while to share my workstation keyboard and mouse with my Eee pc.
I have the Eee plugged into the network and hooked to an external display.
With synergy I can use it as if it was a dual screen setup, except the right screen is running kubuntu, while the left is running windows.

I had one minor (not a show stopper, but annoying as hell) problem with synergy.
Sometimes the mouse would get stuck while changing screens.
After some research I found out it was some weird interaction between the synergy server (running on the windows machine) and Outlook.

This page fixed the problem!
I just had to check the "don't take forground window on Windows servers" option.

If you have more than one pc, I highly recommend you look into this little utility.

Just got my tickets to AngraJazz !
This is the first time I can actually go, and as a celebration, I'm sharing this (un)related clip:




Guh-reat!

A nice gamepad

My newest ebay adventure got this delivered to my doorstep:

I love it. Old games just don't feel the same on a keyboard  or a new gamepad.

Michael Pritchard's TED Talk

After seeing this talk, I was left with this strange impression ... why Isn't this all over the news ? Giving it a quarter of the attention the H1N1 flu had this year would improve the life of thousands of people!

You're not using enough.

Whatever it Takes

by The Nightwatchman



Didn't know this song from the "new" album. I love it :)

Axis of Justice is back

Axis of Justice, the podcast by Tom Morello and Serj Tankien is back.

Tom Morello (aka The Nightwatchmen) - Rage Against The Machine and Audioslave's Guitar player, and Serj Tankien - System Of a Down's Vocalist give the show a political tone, and all the guests and songs are cherry picked with this in mind.

I'm glad to see (listen?) them back on the show (which was stopped for quite some time).

Visit : http://axisofjustice.org/ and be sure to listen to the podcast.

I found it nice to see Tom Morello reference Optimus Alive and the performance by Gogol Bordello there which he said gave Rage Against the Machine a "run for their money".


Here are the first (after restarting) 5 episodes.

This looks wonderful in an awful kind of way.

I'm not really sure anymore...
