Nothing like squeezing 50+ hours into four days of work to get you ready for vacation. I left things as tidy as possible at the office, and I found out about one of the coolest things I’ve seen: Remote Desktop Connection. I was recently upgraded to WindowsXP Professional on my office laptop. Now, after some quick assistance from a colleague, I have Remote Desktop Connection set up on my PowerBook. Fully functional control of my office desktop from my MacOS X machine (also available for other Windows machines, of course) means I only have to bring one computer with me… and it’s the one I prefer to use. At a later point, I’ll have to look into whether similar software exists to control my OS X desktop at home.
