Synergy

Synergy has to be the most amazing app I have ever seen. I’m writing this post on my laptop using my desktop keyboard and mouse. By setting up the desktop as a Synergy server, I can use its mouse and keyboard on EVERY computer connected to the network running Synergy.

This is magic. It’s like I’m using multiple desktops… but it’s multiple computers. This means I can have one screen running, say, Word in Windows, while the other is running Gimp in Linux. Then I can copy and paste between the two without ever changing mouses.

And it took like 2 minutes to set up. I am in awe.

Oh, this sentence was typed on the laptop keyboard. I don’t lose control of that keyboard either. *dances*
