There’s a lot of things that goes into a developers setup and I find it similar to an authors quirky needs when writing. I myself need a lot of screen real-estate and want my development machine to be at least a 2 screen setup with as wide a screen as possible. I like my lines [...]

Most people got it and I am very envious of the people who bought it in London. A goodie [...]
With the renewal of my GSM contract I got a Slingbox and could use Orb to access my TV and things on the move. After half a month of use I am starting to get comfortable and to my surprise it feels like this is just the service I was looking for. The only thing [...]
I have been using my computer remotely via Orb lately since it gives me access to documents, pictures, music and other stuff on my home computer.
