VMWare Shared Folders

Friday, May 30th, 2008

I wanted to add a shared folder to a linux VMWare image in VMWare player, and got thoroughly nowhere. Thanks to the magic of EasyVMX though, I know now the secritz. In the .vmx file of the VM , add:

It seems that in the weeks since I used it, Ableton forgot all my keyboard shortcuts. I discovered this while diving into the mighty mix you’ll find below, so it’s a bit (lot) wacker than usual. There is also a slight lack of a thematic link, as it’s a combination of various tracks I’ve wanted [...]
