Synergy is Overloaded
Kellen commented yesterday that the word Ruby is Overloaded in his life. In the last three days, I’ve experienced the same thing with “Synergy”.
I upgraded Synergy on Sunday, to play with its new Growl integration. Yesterday, I installed Synergy so I could control two computers with one keyboard. And today in a meeting, I discovered that Synergy is my employer’s new corporate standard for source control.1
Thankfully, a quick search of the phone book finds no-one with the surname of “Synergy”, so unless I happen to run into someone who is so in love with the concept of two or more agents or forces interacting so that their combined effect is greater than the sum of their individual effects, and changed his name to Synergy Smith, I think that should be enough synergy for the week.
1 Of course, after seeing screenshots like this, I immediately went back to my original plans for installing Subversion and FogBugz.
