A loop across the world

Hello! Its awesome to see you again. You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks, again, for visiting!

I’ve been the family PC troubleshooter for ever since I can remember. Installing apps, fine-tuning settings, editing photos and so on and so forth for a less experienced relative or friend. But now since I’ve moved to Melbourne, Australia, I haven’t been really able to help out as much as I’d like and I’ve often found myself relying on the ever-frustrating "technicians" back home. I really don’t want to get into their helping ways at the moment, but it would suffice to say that these are characters whose every solution begins and ends with the word ‘format’. Well, I’ve tried talking my folks and friends with their problems over skype or gtalk, but its never really been much help and then I’ve thought of setting up a remote desktop sharing application. But I’ve usually given up on many of them with their complex installation and configuration settings. That is till recently… Until I came across Crossloop.

Its strength lies in its amazing simplicity. The Crossloop programmers must’ve surely gone to great lengths to keep the installation and settings to the bare basic while at the same time helping keep the connection safe and secure.

To start using the app, just head over here and run the installer. There are absolutely no settings to muck around with and thats great. The app begins with a single, nice, neat clutter-free screen.

You log into the a remote session using an ‘access code’. And thats an auto generated number that allows access to the remote PC. You type in the remote code and the user at the other end is prompted whether they want to allow the remote access.

And you get a pop-up of the remote screen. And you’re up and running. Give it a go. And just in case you’ve got any bricks or bouquets to send to the Crossloop team, there is a feedback screen at the end. Highly recommended.

PS: To check a global response to Crossloop, you could zoom past users on Google Earth and check-out reviews too. BTW, here’s mine.
