Skip to navigationSynergy - The ultimate desktop sharing tool
December 18th, 2007 17:57 in Development, Technology by Jon
I’ve been doing some internal testing at work this week using Safari, and I’ve moved our Mac Mini onto my desk rather than using VNC. I’ve been using some awesome software called Synergy which lets you share your keyboard and mouse over the network. So I currently have my main work PC (running Windows) which has dual-monitors, next to a third monitor which is hooked up to the Mac Mini. With synergy I can move my mouse cursor between all three monitors and work on either machine without having to switch keyboards, or use a KVM.
Obviously I can’t drag/drop files or move windows between machines, but it’s made life a lot easier for performing Mac testing. It even supports cut/copy/paste from one machine to the other. Here’s a picture of my desktop setup at work (click to see the Flickr version that has notes)

Microsoft vs Adobe (the new ‘Expression’ suite)
December 6th, 2006 1:36 in Internet, Technology, Web Design by Jon
It looks like Microsoft have officially settled on the name for their new suite of creative web applications, called ‘Expression‘, and they seem to have Adobe in their sights.
One of the products (Expression Web) went on sale on Amazon.com on 4th December, but at the moment it’s only available to pre-order for $269.10, or if you’re lucky enough to have Frontpage, then you can upgrade for $89.96 (the best $89.96 you’ll ever spend if you ask me!).
LG Chocolate (KG800) Review
December 3rd, 2006 23:22 in Reviews, Technology by Jon
I’ve been using the LG Chocolate (a.k.a the KG800) for a few months now, and I’ve decided to write a little review of what it’s like to use the phone on a day to day basis.
KG describe the phone as “Unique, Articulate, Exquisite”, but I can think of few other words I’d add to that list.
I’ll be honest, I bought this phone after reading reviews online, and hadn’t picked it up or browsed through it, prior to getting it, but online, it sounded excellent, great design, great UI, stylish etc…
I have to admit that the phone looks great, and usually gets an “oooooooo” response when people first see it, but the more I’ve used it more annoyed I’ve become.
