Streamripper allows you to download streams using Winamp. I found this after visiting Shoutcast, a directory of radio stations you can listen using your browser or favorite media player. I started listening to some great hip-hop mixes on .977 Hitz and I wanted to record them to play them later. That is when I found Streamripper.
Synergy is a powerful yet elegant program that allows you to share a single mouse and keyboard with multiple computers regardless of the OS, each with its own display.
Why Synergy? I use a laptop that I take to school and takes notes on using Microsoft OneNote. When I go home, I usually put my laptop on my desk but I always thought it was so unproductive to switch from keyboard/mouse every time I needed to switch from my computer and laptop. Synergy allows me to set up the program on both my computers, and allows me to share my keyboard/mouse between both of them by simply rolling my mouse from one screen to the other.
First, download and install Synergy.
On your host computer, the computer you want to use keyboard/mouse, follow these instructions.
1. Open up Synergy.
2. Click on Advanced.
2a. Choose a Screen Name and Port number. I chose Diego as my screen name, and left Port Number as is.
2b. Click ok.
3. Click on Share this computer’s keyboard and mouse (server)
4. Click on Configure.
5. Create two screens. I created Diego and DiegoLaptop(name of client).
6. Create 2 links so your mouse can travel to and from your screens. I left the percentages as 100%.
Secondly, on the client computer, simply download, install Synergy, and open Synergy.
