Hot New OSS projects

[Carl Helmers]

Hi, Maddog

You started an interesting GNHLUG thread yesterday re /Hot New OSS 
projects/ . . .
I have two that I fancy eventually soon dabbling in as a user :/
synergy+/ for integrating two computer systems on my desk with one 
keyboard/mouse set
(see http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/ )
&/
Audacity/ for fooling around with /.wav/ files in a Linux context in 
order to make my own
personal recordings of piano works/ /I play after much -- perhaps 
obsessive -- practice...
One of my goals is to use some neat piano snippets from what I play as 
new ring tones for my
personal cell phone...   ( see http://audacity.sourceforge.net/about/ )

I wrote a few words in late January about Synergy as I was completing 
the mechanical
arrangements for my Dual Display Stand project:  I now have my two LCD 
displays
vertically stacked at my work station -- this allows me to for example 
read tutorials about
some application or language on one display from the WWW while experimenting
with said software on a totally independent computer without fear that 
the experiments
would disrupt my simultaneous WWW session...

See my about discovering Synergy on my site which I wrote after the 
January Lugor (Linux Group of Rochester)
  at The Promise of Synergy 
<http://www.helmers.com/images/stories/2010-01/DDS_L&Xp/A_Dual_Display_Stand_-_Linux_&_Windows_LCDs.html#The%20Way%20Forward%20-%20Discovering%20synergy>as 
a note at the end of my project article about my Dual Display Stand now
in use in front of me as I write this thought...

Just my $.02 about two neat OSS / Linux applications of which I have 
become aware...
