Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:16:28 +0000 hourly 1 By: Keith Elder http://dotconnectorblog.com/how-to-work-from-home-successfully-faq-plus-20-tips-and-tricks/#comment-2276 Keith Elder Thu, 04 Feb 2010 14:04:21 +0000 http://dotconnector.wordpress.com/?p=83#comment-2276 Great article Regis! @Andrew / @Regis Just FYI we already have Office Communicator and built-in live meeting on the network, thus Mikogo is pointless as we can already share and collaborate easily using those tools. And they integrate with the already existing instant messaging tool (as well as office, etc) and our data never leaves the network nor can be audited by a third party. Of course that is windows only but 99.8% of everyone we work with is windows. I see you are on a Mac? Time to switch for that alone, the productive is through the roof. For a headset and a cordless phone, I say combine them. This is what I use. I can walk around my 1.5 acres and still stay on the phone. http://keithelder.net/blog/archive/2007/04/15/Working-From-Home-Tip--Start-With-Your-Headset.aspx Another tip I'd add is if you are in a verbal meeting and you don't need to be at your desk, then get up and walk around the house for the hour you are on the phone. Great way to get exercise and get the body moving. In terms of monitors, if two is better than one then four must just be AWESOME! Check it Regis: http://keithelder.net/blog/archive/2009/06/22/new-hardware-running-windows-7-with-four-lcds.aspx Again great article. Thanks. Great article Regis!

Very easy to use, stays out of your way, and just does what you need it to. I've used it primarily for screen sharing with others and remote control of computers. Good stuff!

With Mikogo you can start a free online meeting and invite up to 10 participants to view your screen in real time - great for team meetings. You can switch presenter and give a colleague the opportunity to present their two cents worth. Some other features include remote keyboard and mouse control, file transfer, application selection, 256bit AES encryption, live cursor, Skype Extra (for free calls and screen sharing together). Free for all - no feature or time limitations, and no catches. If you are interested in testing Mikogo to see how it can benefit people working from home, please do so and feel free to let me know how you find the app. It would be great to hear your feedback.
