“Project 1: Wiki on a Stick

“If you fancy taking your own customised pile of documentation
and notes wherever you go, there’s a perfect solution called Wiki
on a Stick. As its name implies, this is a project that offers a
go-anywhere web-based wiki that’s entirely self-contained, and can
be used for all the same things a full fat wiki can. The package is
provided as a Zip archive, and after you’ve unzipped this, usually
with a double click, you’ll find a single .htm file remains.

“Project 4: Create a network wormhole

“We all need to copy files to servers, whether it’s music to our
media streamer, or work documents to the backup folder. But
connecting to these servers can sometimes be less than intuitive
and often tedious. KDE 4.3 or later has the perfect solution. You
can use the desktop folder feature to access a remote site, and
conjure a constant portal from where you can grab files, drop new
ones and see what’s happening in almost real time.”
