Remote Control

If you're like me and you have so many computers that you don't know what to do with them (or just two that you can't use at once), this is exciting. I found an open source application called Synergy, which allows you to control multiple computers with one keyboard and one mouse. You choose one computer to be the server and the rest are clients. After setting up a simple TCP connection, you can move the mouse cursor off one screen and onto the other. Right now, I'm typing this post with the keyboard on my Ubuntu laptop to the browser window on my MacBook. The mouse is a bit jerky on the client computer, but the program works great overall.
