Another really long day at the office.
If you regularly have to work on several different operating systems at the same time, then make sure you check out Synergy:
“Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It’s intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).”
This product has improved my work life by at least 5%. I need to work simulataneously on a windows and a linux machine and find myself constantly switching. I now have 1 keyboard and mouse and two flat screens, when I move the mouse from one screen over to the other, the keyboard automatically switches to work on the other machine. Get this you can even copy and paste between the two. It’s a little client/server system that is simple to install and really easy to configure and it works on most platforms. First software product in a long time that has made me very happy!
Al Jazeera English is hiring videobloggers to do pieces for them. Max Keiser of KarmabanqueRadio has one here: People and Power: Death of the Dollar [bad quality recording though]. I had a long conversation with a documentary maker who was working with the KarmaBanque over a year ago at a party I was at. Not sure I fully understood the project. Some interesting ideas in this piece though.
Another great Big Lebowski mashup: The Big Lebowski - The Dude’s Version.
