I have set up my three old computers in the new room in Obihiro. The prepared Internet connection had a few problems and it took a few days for me to solve all of them. Now I can do anything I like in this hideaway. It reminds me of my dream in my childhood; I was fascinated in the secret base in sci-fi movies in which white hat people facing towards radar screens were fighting with the enemy. Anyway, my computers consist of VAIO, DELL and Mac mini which are all connected with each other by wireless and wired LAN. VAIO has two displays and is running Windows XP, DELL is running Fedora6 distribution of LINUX and Mac mini is running OS-X Tiger. You might think why I need so many computers. The reason is that VAIO is the main computer, DELL is working as a local server and Mac mini is necessary to check whether my programs work on Mac. It is also used as an iTunes music server. After coming to Obihiro, I have installed a great free software called "Synergy" into my three computers and I can now control three of them with only one keyboard and mouse; when I move the mouse cursor from left to right or right to left, it moves through the four displays seamlessly and I can type into the computer on which the mouse cursor is staying. It's very pleasant!
