Hi all,
Big issue I have when debugging code is that my machine will sometimes keel over when stepping through code, and any notes I’ve taken are lost in the reboot.
So I recently found "Synergy" which is a sort of a software KVM. http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
It sets up a client/server connection between 2 PC’s, and as you move your mouse of the desktop of one PC, it sends a network message to the other PC to start handling the mouse/keyboard/controller messages.
Does that make sense?
Anyway, I now have two machines side-by-side, running Synergy, so I can test, break, switch to my other machine, record my notes, switch back, and step.
And by "switch" I mean simply move my mouse from one monitor to the other.
Oh. And the best feature of Synergy. It has a virtual clipboard. So you can grab text from one machine, and it sends that text to the second machines clipboard.
What else? It works across MAC/PC/Linux.
Right that’s my rant. Oh, and its free.
Check it out.
regards,

That’s pretty cool, thanks for the post !
I get similar issues with debugging full-screen (machine locks completely!) applications on a single monitor setup; but I guess the solution to that particular problem would be to get a dual monitor setup.

Surely its not locked, you just have a break point in visual studios which you cant get to because your in directx full screen exclusive mode :) A second monitor is the only why to get around this issue i’m afraid.

Well it does pretty much lock up, I mean Ctrl + Alt + Delete (to bring up the task manager) or Alt + Tab doesn’t even work when this happens. Nothing works in fact.. Can’t get much more locked than that ! :) The only remedy unfortunately when this happens is a reboot..
