OpenVPN is one of the VPN solution I tend to choose because it works on a variety of system platforms and under some of the more extreme conditions, including when I have to tunnel out via a HTTP proxy.
On a Mac I've been using tunnelblick for some time, but I found a new GUI client [...]
I've finally put the (rather messy) source of jndcalx on Github for you to grab, fix, and improve on.
jndcalx runs on a computer with installed Lotus Notes (Mac OS X, Windows or Linux) and a Web server, and it creates iCalendar output (.ics) on the fly, without having to manually export and import your calendar. [...]
Martin's GhettoPush, which I talked about recently is being heavily used here. So much, that I've implemented some changes, that Martin has kindly merged back into his master repository.
The two additions I submitted to the code are both very similar — almost identical. They enable us to exclude certain e-mail messages from being Prowl'ed. You [...]
Prowl is a Growl-like client for the iPhone which accepts notifications from your computer (Mac, Windows) using push. UNIX and Linux systems are also supported via a third-party API that you can use to build your own applications. Installing Prowl is easy enough, and doing so in conjunction with Growl is well explained.

Getting a movie onto your iPhone or iPod touch isn't a great feat: you import your possibly converted movies into iTunes, set up syncing of Movies, and Bob's your uncle.
I like adding information about the movie (i.e. meta data), and I use MetaX to do so:

A few minutes later, I was browsing through my own book Alternative [...]
Quite some time ago, I decided I wanted to see my IBM/Lotus Notes calendar entries in iCal, so I started tinkering with a small C program to do so. The initial results were quite promising, and I started adding features such as Todos and UTF-8 support. I also quickly found, that iCalendar unequal iCalendar — [...]
Many of my past hacks, involved systems that needed to know the TCP/IP address of a client workstation, and I've generally used one of two methods for doing so:
a program on the client initiates a HTTP request to a PHP or CGI resource, which records the client's IP address from an environment variable passed to [...]
