Synergy

I'm putting this link here to remind myself of it, basically, whenever I want to come back to it: an open-source bit of software called Synergy that somehow allows you to share a keyboard and mouse between computers. I'd write some stuff about how awesome it is, but it would all be purely speculative, since I haven't quite decoded that web page yet. I see the open-source software community is still taking many steps to remain insular and cultlike so that stupid people don't try to use their software and then bother them about it. Unfortunately I'm collateral damage, because pages like that make me feel like I am perhaps one of those stupid people. I don't even understand most of the words on the "FAQ" page, ha! So I'm a little scared to try it out, but that doesn't mean I can't share it with you guys.

I've just started using it myself. Engadget has a guide to setting it up.
