Remote Desktop, Terminal Services, PC Anywhere, Dameware, and others. All of them allow you to remotely connect to a computer over the network/Internet. CrossLoop is a very easy to use and free screen sharing application. My friend over at CCTech pointed this out a while ago, and I just came across the bookmark. He posted it a while ago, so check out his post. It's free, secure, and easy to use for anyone.
Rubber Ducky is a cute little aquarium display that sits neatly above your system tray. The elements of the aquarium monitor the state of your computer--fish for network traffic, plants for hard disk, bubbles for CPU usage, and water level/color for RAM usage. Whenever your system experiences a slow-down, just take a quick glance at Rubber Ducky and you will know what is holding it up at a single glance.
You may have heard of this web based tool. It is a free [for personal use] program that displays details about your hardware, software, security status, missing updates and more. It also displays keys for your installed software. It's a ~1MB download that runs locally only. None of the collected info is sent anywhere. Click here to try it.
The blogging fever keeps spreading. A friend started a Blog for complaints. Anything he wants to complain about, he will post. And you can comment and vent as well. He just opened, and his first post is about left lane drivers. It's a funny idea I think. Check it out.

As a sidenote I want to mention that I've been away from Blogging for some days. One reason is because one of my hard drives started clicking and I've just been backing stuff up and been busy otherwise. Just now I finished setting up my two new 320GB Seagate Barracuda SATA drives in a RAID1 configuration. That should double the read speed and keep write speed the same. So it's a bit of a performance boost, and I'll have a backup at all times. I'm digging this!
