    shhhhhhhhhhhh just breaking the site again don't mind me

    very, very, very experimental fic continues its slow progress as the deadline for bicyclette's sci-fi contest draws near. these chapters are about on-par with what if in terms of length, but oh boy have they been an interesting experience to write.

    hey hey btw i've got a (couple of) public minecraft server(s)!

    yeah so anyway here is my webbed site lol. there's an MC Classic server for building whatever, and an MC Beta 1.7.3 server for playing survival. I might eventually also put up a modern vanilla server as well, though given how I'm hosting a bunch of servers already for friends and a couple of discord servers, idk if the little slab of a PC I'm using to host 'em all would be able to manage lol.

    summer break is almost here :V

    basically got one week left lol. got an experimental fic in the works that's a sort-of direct sequel picking off right where Splintershard ended. no prior reading is necessary.

    MAN it's been a while since I've toyed with writing styles.

So, you know how I have my main PC and my Surface Go?

Normally, I have both set up on my desk, and have to switch between using the mouse and keyboard on my main PC and the keyboard cover of my Surface.

This app I happened to stumble across makes it so I can use both devices with the same mouse and keyboard as long as they're online. It's literally what Synergy is, but for Windows only at the moment. Plus, it's free.

I now have my Surface positioned just under my main PC's screen, and can move the mouse (and files) between the two in a vertically-wrapped keyboard/mouse mapping.

For an experimental program released under Microsoft's "Garage" branding for in-development programs, I'm quite impressed at how well it already works. There's almost no lag whatsoever, either.

Hey I notice you put these out a lot and it really shows your knowledge on PC's so I was wondering if I could ask you for advice when I need help dealing with my PC.

Well really I have it all working now but I will need help in the future most likely.

it is an impressive App, would be nice t5o be able to link my old winxp so I can control its m,ain functions (vhs recording and data recovery)

4984119
Yeah. Unfortunately, it only works with Vista and above, if I remember correctly.

4984120
According to what I read it works with XP sp3

4984124
Oh. Just spotted it in the description on the website.

4984125
Yes, it would be useful, so thank you for making me aware of it...

Thanks for sharing this! :raritywink: I'm currently using Synergy (begrudgingly) as I am sharing my keyboard and mouse between my two desktop PCs (Windows 8.1, Windows 10) and my Macbook. The file drag and drop between systems looks way cool, too bad it's Windows only or I would switch in a heartbeat. :twilightsmile:

Yeah. That's the only drawback to the program.
