I have heard great things about Hamachi on the Security Now! podcast. Hamachi is now owned by LogMeIn.

What it is

Hamachi is a zero-configuration virtual private networking (VPN) application.

In other words Hamachi is a program that allows you to arrange multiple computers into their own secure network just as if they were connected by a physical network cable.

Hamachi is fast, secure and simple. Its core version is also free.

What’s in it for me?

Hamachi gives you LAN over the Internet.

Virtually any application that works over local/home networks can also be used over Hamachi networks.

Think - Windows File Sharing, iTunes, Remote Desktop, Remote Assistance or even gaming - all fully encrypted, authenticated and peer-to-peer.

Technology

Hamachi is a zero-configuration virtual private networking application with an open security architecture and NAT-to-NAT traversal capabilities.

Hamachi is the first application to mix seemingly unrelated networking technologies in one powerful package to deliver an unprecedented level of direct peer-to-peer connectivity. More …

Security

Hamachi is secure. All Hamachi communications are encrypted and authenticated with industry-standard algorithms and protocols. Nobody will be able to see what two Hamachi peers are talking about. Not even us.

However what is equally important - Hamachi security architecture is completely open meaning that its detailed description is available to anyone interested for review and validation. More …

Ease of Use

Great effort went into designing and polishing the Hamachi user interface. The result is sleek, simple and intuitive; yet still very functional. Everything you need, nothing you don’t.

Hamachi software contains no spyware, bannerware or any other -ware unrelated to its purpose. And it never will.

I will be trying out an alternative to Flickr called Zoomr.

Started on a late October, 26th in 2005, Zooomr was born to explore the information inside of photos. It aims to be not merely another photo sharing service, but something that helps connect people together through photos.Perhaps one of the most important features of Zooomr is that it’s localized. With over 15 locales worldwide and growing Zooomr aims to connect the entire world together in the most seamless manner imaginable.

After looking through PDF forums all over the place, I’ve noticed that this particular question crops up all the time: “How can I link through to pages/named destinations WITHIN a PDF from my web page?” Being a true adherent to the “Economy of effort” principle (AKA just plain lazy), I thought it would be best to write this up as a tip to save typing it in each time.
