Remote Controlling

Word from Allan Janus, who has sommat to do with Panabasis, The Journal of the Janus Museum, which resides at http://www.janusmuseum.org/panabasis/main.htm, that he's trying out Orb, a service that allows one to access one's files remotely. Allan is using Orb successfully to share music files. This reminds me to mention that I use Logmein.com's remote-control and file-sharing software to remotely operate our computers and swap files around. Works like a charm, especially when I get to the office and find that I've left a crucial file on the home computer, or when Ada needs tech support. I pay a modest fee for the version installed on my computer to get added functionality, but use the free version on our other computers (and those of a few more-hapless-than-me friends who rely on me for help when they get into computer trouble). With Logmein, I can sit on the deck at Eagle Lake and connect to the computer at home to read e-mail, pay bills, and do work for clients. 'Tis a grand thing altogether... though it don't play music.
