Synergy

Friday, April 25th, 2008

I have two machines at work for network development, and well, I often find myself either not using my second machine, or knocking mice all over the place as I switch between them. A colleague pointed out Synergy - I’m hooked. It’s amazing. It’s just like dual monitor behaviour, mouse + keyboard events get transitioned across screen boundaries. Easy debugging with Visual Studio on two machines with no need to switch mouse/keyboard.

Was a little bit of a faff to setup, but it’s all working and extremely useful. Great for productivity, and it doesn’t feel like a second machine now :)
