I’m basically awesome

I’d never bothered much with VNC before because…well, because I didn’t need it. This morning, though, I got bored and decided to see whether I could control my laptop with the desktop and vice-versa, and it works fine. Now, I can share files between them because I have Samba working, and I can control both no matter where I’m sitting. Since I am awesome and have dual displays on the desktop, I can have the desktop’s Desktop on one screen, and the laptop’s Desktop in a VNC session on the other. The laptop doesn’t have dual displays, but it does mean I can lie in bed and use the laptop to control the music playing on the desktop, which is a vast improvement over getting off my arse to change it, or just letting Rhythmbox play random tracks. Actually, I’m so awesome that I’m pretty much made of 100% pure awesome. Okay, so it was easy to do, but I don’t know why it didn’t occur to be before. Probably because I was so busy being awesome with other stuff like Samba and dual displays. Nerds rule! 😀

Oh, and I like this (found it in someone’s signature on the Ubuntu forums):

A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.
