It’s not easy being the social media champion in the building.
Windows only: TeamPlayer allows you to use multiple mice and keyboards on a Windows based system. Under normal circumstances you can plug multiple USB mice in, but moving the two simultaneously will result in Windows struggling to decide which input to use for the single cursor on the screen.

If you’ve been thinking of learning CSS but have become lost in the seemingly endless number of CSS tutorials that exist, you may want to read on.

I definitely don’t consider myself a CSS expert, but I would still be a confused newbie if it weren’t for the efforts of so many who have shared their knowledge and talents. It’s time to pass those on to you.
