Looks like I contributed more than I knew: the RMS sources have my fingerprints all over them, as in the RMS error processor from 1983.
What's the relationship between facility with writing and the quality of thinking in organizations?
I'm reminded of the article Unskilled and Unaware of It, in which
Across 4 studies, the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the 12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd.It may be that the people who fear writing are those who are actually capable of doing so. It often seems that the Internet as a whole offers ample evidence that those who are—well, less capable—have little or no fear of writing for their peers.
I'm not sure the failure caused the problem, but once I installed the system and restarted Eclipse, I got an configuration error (with lots of evil messages). Among other things, the application identifier wasn't available.
I ended up downloading the full 3.0.1 kit, unpacking it over the existing directories, and starting Eclipse. It worked, happily. Sigh....
Now, underneath the snowpack,Sweet, and a treat for all the senses.
I shovel-cut into the spreading shoots
Releasing a pungency - the long forgotten scent of summer
Into the cold, crisp winter air.
Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).If you look at how my desk is laid out, I've got two flat-panel monitors on my Linux box that I use for nearly all my development work, and a bulky old monitor for my Win2000 machine for Windows-specific applications, maintenance, and monitoring. I nearly always work on the Linux machine, but occasionally need to work (usually database work) on Windows. I'd end up with the Windows keyboard in my lap, two mice near each other, and invariably typing something into the wrong window somewhere (an IM reply to my wife gets entered in a database field, or vice versa).
I now have a Synergy server running in the right-hand screen of my two Linux screens. If I move the mouse to the right, it appears in the Windows screen (where a Synergy client is controlling the interface), and I can then use my "Linux" keyboard to type into the Windows programs. Select something on Win2K, copy it into the clipboard, bring the mouse back to my left-hand Linux screen, and paste the selection right into an app on Linux! Synergy gives you one keyboard, one mouse, and one virtual clipboard.
Oh, by the way: the program also (to some degree) synchronizes screensavers. It doesn't appear to work with the KDE screensaver, but with ordinary xscreensaver it will synch the Win2K screensaver with the X screensaver. Impressive to demo, but doesn't seem to work as desired everytime with my configuration. (I have slightly different versions on each box, so your mileage may vary.)
