Remote Pairing with YuuGuu
Our office firewall gets in the way of Yuuguu , probably by blocking UDP traffic I'm not sure what the real . Finally a coworker was WFH and we were able to try it. Hey, it worked. Lag wasn't bad, control wasn't hard to trade, and it didn't really get in the way. It really shared the other guy's screen, not just certain windows. That was very convenient, but it also meant that I could see his IM and email notifications and the like. If you worry about such things, be warned. OTOH, it means that he could pop up editors, SQL tools, log tail programs, and the like without having to explicitely share them with me as he as to do in webex. Yuuguu didn't include voice, but included a voice conference line. It does nice instant messaging and screen sharing, though. We skyped for voice, and yuuguu-ed for screen share. It can tie into your instant messaging accounts, which makes it easier to find people you know. We had work to do, so we didn't spend so much...
