Halloween eve at the Grabe home. We are waiting for trick or treaters to show up at the door. Business has been slow because it has turned cold.
We decide to do a little experimenting – Cindy in the living room in front of the television – me in my office. Both have our computers going. Cindy wants to try a new program she has heard about called Yugma. The screen capture below is my computer screen while I mess around in Flickr captured from Cindy’s desktop. Pretty impressive. This is the Pro version (everyone gets to experiment with the Pro version and then it reverts to the free version in a few weeks).
I am familiar with commercial products (Breeze – or at least what used to be called Breeze) for distance ed applications so I have some experience with the desktop sharing thing. We traded files, used the markup tools to markup and annotate the shared screen, recorded a session, switched who shared the screen with whom, IMd, etc. Everything worked as advertised.
I am guessing there are some useful applications that extend beyond our strange way of spending our evenings. Take a look.
