Today’s post is brought to you by Gbridge, a very handy little program that takes all the guesswork out of remote connecting to other PCs. Gbridge works by using your Gmail account as a login. After installing the program on the PCs you need to connect to it’s as simple as logging in and selecting ‘DeskShare’. You’re instantly connected to a PC remotely, allowing you to fiddle with it. It’s a little slow, but that may just be my connection here at work.
Why’s this handy for me, you ask? My PC spends most of it’s time idle while I’m away at work. With Gbridge I could set it up to begin converting or encoding music or video, and it would be ready by the time I came home.
It’s also a nice solution for remote tech support without having to get into the guts of VPN stuff.
Anyway, it’s pretty cool, so check it out.
