Making a list and checking it twice...

Well, I'm on Sean's computer...sorta.

I'm using a program called "VNC" to export the display of my computer over to his WinXP box.

Until I pop out of full-screen mode, it's as if I was sitting in front of my own computer (aside from the mouse pointers being different)...

My list for the day was...

1: Clean the kitchen
2: Mop the kitchen
3: Vacuum the apartment
4: Attack the huge pile of "We'll do it sometime" laundry (Okay, there's an army duffle full of a few odd things and four sets of sheets...but other than that it's ALL done. Sean now has socks and shirts. Lots of them. Clean ones even.

VNC is a wonderful little program. I use it on all the computers here so I can easily take control and install or help somebody with an issue.

Thank God for VNC. I use it at work when I get bored. I'm surprised that no one has wondered why the desktop (with the OS X Dock) looked out of place on a Win98 screen.

I've also seen a Newton running a VNC client. Quite an odd spectacle, but fully functional.
