After yesterday’s post I got round to installing Synergy on my Mac to allow me to control my laptop without having to lean uneconomically across the desk. Results have been mixed; it did not take too long to set up but it seems to disable some of the neat gestures on the Magic Trackpad. For the time being, I think I’ll keep it as a solution for when I’m doing a lot of work between machines (and perhaps plug a standard mouse in too); otherwise, I’ll live with today’s solution of reorganising my desk for a better layout.

Not everything is best solved with software!
