I found a slick little program called MaxiVista that lets me use my small netbook as a second monitor. I connect it to the work laptop via a crossover ethernet cable, and the software "tricks" the laptop into thinking there's another monitor attached. So I can extend (or mirror) the laptop screen onto the netbook and drag application windows between the two. Nice, and it has a remote control feature that let's me take over the netbook from the main laptop just by moving the mouse to the other screen.
This will make working in hotel rooms more efficient!
I've been in St. Louis this week, working with a bank client. I have a little more work to do at the hotel tonight and tomorrow -- then I head to Chicago. I have to be at another client on Monday.
I'll stop in Springfield IL tomorrow night. Sunday I'll tour the new Lincoln Library.
