remote desktop rocks

Filed under: completely goddamn random by J'ai at 12:59 pm

Sadly, I’ve done nothing better than get Remote Desktop working right with my HPC. As my computer runs at 1600×1200 normally, most everything doesn’t fit on the 640×240 screen of my MobilePro. One new user account later, and all is well. Since Firefox respects Windows user accounts, I can set it up for a low-res display without screwing up my main account. And if I log onto my computer I can use the HPC as a remote for WinAmp (I have a pair of speakers in my bedroom, but until now no way to control them.)

Oh man, this is nice. IE and Opera lag like a motherfucker on my MobilePro, but it’s a nonissue now, as the heavy lifting is all offloaded onto my PC. I should’ve done this months ago, the second I installed XP Pro.
