Arse, that is not all in fact.
Today I stumbled across a new geektoy. While quickly documenting my workspace for Pixel Rigs (a flickr pool started by Rands), I started reading the others and came across Synergy. Now you can have one keyboard, mouse and pastebuffer across multiple machines (each with its own monitor). It’s a bit of software, works over TCP. And by works I mean, it just works. I love it.
Only problem I have found is when using it with Windows boxes – in which case RDP windows sort of mess up how the right-shift key works.
I’m rather more interested by the dual-heading-off-single-graphics-port solutions one of the folk on that flickr pool is using… right now, I have £350 of TFT monitor sat around doing nothing….
