No overarching theme here, move along...

As I think I mentioned, I now work in very close proximity to a Wii.  As in I can play it without even getting up from my chair.  This is a very bad thing, because I find myself actually playing the damn thing.  Bowling and Tennis and Fighter Planes and Prince of Persia and whatever other things we have handy.  I find myself playing it because it's

While it may not be such a hot idea to play the Wii while being on the clock, not every moment of your day must be productive. Jus' sayin...

I would feel the same even if I were playing the Wii at home. "Productive" isn't necessarily the right word, but I spose I have mental levels of productivity, in which reading LJ ranks higher than playing video games.

I get that feeling when I'm reading a book. Not that I don't enjoy reading, but while I sit and read, I feel like I'm in a waiting room, wasting away each minute.

I look upon reading as an exercise in expanding my vocabulary/world perspective, even if the material itself is of a fluff fantasy/sci-fi nature.

If I can get Synergy to work between my Windows machine and all my X servers on my Linux box, one connecting to an AIX machine, I'm going to be a very happy man. I'll give it a shot next week.

I have a Linux workstation as my primary, and then I have a Macbook Pro and a Lenovo Thinkpad as little sattelite systems orbiting the main one, all acting as one massive desktop, for the most part. It's awesome.

I am currently Synergizing. I'm kind of surprised how good the response time is, given that I'm running it over a WAN that goes from here to D.C. and back (don't ask). I'm having two issues with it, though. First, it really doesn't want to sync the screensavers, and I've done everything in the tips along with restarting xscreensaver and both copies of Synergy. Secondly, since it uses the same port on the whole setup, you can't run two copies of it on the same box if you're running two X servers. On my Linux box, I've been running X over the network, connecting to a development server. I can only get Synergy to work on one copy of X, which is irritating. I decided to switch to connecting to the dev server using TightVNC, but I can't seem to get clipboard transfers to work over VNC. I can mostly get around it, but I'd really like to have a shared clipboard between the three, and it doesn't seem to want to let me.

All in all, yeah, pretty cool. I'm just still trying to determine if it's better than my old set up.

I found out when I got to Egypt that Optio S5i can't handle a 4 gig either. :/
