I was thinking “I need a remote” for my desktop/winamp as a song I didn’t want to hear jumped up on the playlist. And I was thinking about how my friend H. said on Sunday how he uses his wireless keyboard as an “expensive remote for playing music controls. “I should get one of those,” I thought, suddenly realizing I could do the same thing using my laptop and VNC!
It worked like a charm. Yay, I can play Winamp coming out the nice speakers attached to my desktop rather than the ones built in my laptop…AND still control it from across the room using my laptop. Yay.
