Youve got questions and weve got answers.
Id like to get to the bottom of things before I accidently destroy my computer.
This is in the range of lightening-strike remote, however.
This borders on paranoid caution, mind you, but better safe than sorry.
How can I do this?
Also, is there an easy way to remove DRM from ePub and AZW documents?
Formats, Conversions, and DRM, Oh my!
Dear Formats,
There are applications out there that will convert documents into AZW format.
Thats not a problem though!
Kindles read the MOBI format quite nicely and its very easy to convert to the MOBI format.
As for stripping DRM from ePub and AZW books, its a royal pain in the ass.
Sorry there isnt an easy solution!
DRM is an enormous pain.
I would like to setup another rig right next to it, and install Ubuntu on it.
How can I achieve this one keyboard, one mouse, dual machine nirvana?
Attempting Omnicontrol in Omaha
Dear Omnicontrol,
Youre in luck.
This is one of those geek moments where a perfectly elegant, robust, and free solution exists.
Youneed a copy of Synergy.
Synergy is an awesome utility that allows you to control multiple machines using a single keyboard and mouse input.
One of your machines acts as the server and the rest of the machines act as clients.
Its quite snappy and a solution well loved by geeks of all stripes.
Its free, open source, and works on Windows, Mac, and Linux machines.
