I have to share my solution for this problem I was having. My PIC controller programmer only works on Windows (for the time being) because of various technical difficulties (I’ll spare you the details). I only have a Mac at home.
So I plugged the pic controller programmer into my Windows machine at work and turned on Remote Desktop. With Remote Dekstop, I can control my Windows machine from home.
Then I pointed the iSight camera attached to my work Mac at the programmer.
Finally, if I remote desktop into both machines at work, I can dial myself up on iChatAV and get a view of the programmer (and the important 10 LEDs). I can also run the programmer software on the Windows machine to upload new software into the PIC.
W00T!

Answering your question, YES!!!
That is gloriously geeky.

Man, that’s just sick. Sick in its good meaning though. Sounds like something I’d do.
