Update: Didn't realize that FolderBrowserDialog was as easy to use as it turns out to be..

Virtual KVM: synergy

So no hardware required. I have a monitor with two inputs for signal (the old-school serial, and a dvi)
So basically I can set up the client on my ubuntu linux, and vista (soon to be xp again) laptop.

With this I'll be able to use the big monitor with either machine and not have to clutter the desktop with the laptop being there.. (just set it off to the side hooked up..)

Synergy KVM

I might even go and get another screen, maybe a bigger one or something..

encryption galore

Configuring MySQL remote access

Create the database and then allow a user remote access

mysql> CREATE DATABASE foo;
mysql> GRANT ALL ON foo.* TO bar@'202.54.10.20' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';

you can use wildcards in the address if you have an ip that is going to change on your accessing clients

so that second line would look a little more like this if you wanted all your machines at home to be able to connect to the mysql server you're configuring
mysql> GRANT ALL ON foo.* TO bar@'192.168.0.%' IDENTIFIED BY 'PASSWORD';

where % is the wildcard that mysql requires in the address
