OpenVPN for Windows tutorial #
It's A Tech World (love the clean, simple design) has an excellent guide to setting up OpenVPN under Windows 2000/XP. I would only add that when editing vars.bat, be sure to use a text editor (like metapad) that has support for Unix line endings (unlike Notepad).
There is also a new OpenVPN book by Markus Feilner entitled OpenVPN: Building and Integrating Virtual Private Networks. The blurb reads in part: "This book is an easy introduction to this popular VPN application. After introducing the basics of security and VPN, the book moves on to cover using OpenVPN, from installing it on various platforms, through configuring basic tunnels, to more advanced features, such as using the application with firewalls, routers, proxy servers, and OpenVPN scripting. While providing only necessary theoretical background, the book takes a practical approach, presenting plenty of examples." Publisher | Amazon

Clean and simple backup app for OS 9 #SimpleBackup 1.61 "is a very simple and easy to use file backup utility that offers an elegant and quick-and-easy way to back up all those files that are spread out over the hard disk; in the preferences folder, in the documents folder, certain folders and files in the applications folder, etc... For personal, non-profit use, a simple 'thank you' email is adequate." Screenshot

DROP++ #Jorg Kliemann has generously crafted DROP++ (source available here) using AutoIt (itself a mostly open source project) to address the drag & drop overwrite problem mentioned recently. Simply drag and drop a group of files from search results or any other Explorer window onto its icon; DROP++ will copy the files and autoincrement the resulting filenames. If you're tired of seeing "Confirm File Replace - This folder already contains a file named foo. Would you like to replace the existing file with this one?", give DROP++ a try. (By the way, holding Shift while clicking No to the above dialog behaves like "No to All", which is otherwise not provided.)

XYplorer - Windows Explorer replacement #XYplorer (formerly TrackerV3) is a tabbed file manager with a slew of features. While it does require VB5 runtimes and GDI+, XYplorer's installer-free version does not write to the registry or any directory outside of its own, which makes it perfect for a BartPE CD or USB thumbdrive. Free for noncommercial use. UPDATE: The

Question about drag & drop with auto incrementing of filenames #Is there a method for dragging and dropping a list of files with the same name into a new folder and have them automatically increment the filenames rather than give an overwrite warning? Two instances where I've seen this work: when dragging files from a search result window into Nero (screenshot) and when dragging email messages from Outlook Express into Explorer. I'm not looking for a renamer to change the original filenames, but rather a way to create new files with incremented names. Answers sent to "mail AT tinyapps DOT org" will be appended to this post.
UPDATE: Jorg Kliemann has kindly crafted a solution.

Samorost2 - Funky Flash game #Samorost2 is a rather odd but compelling Flash-based adventure game similar to Pokku's Friend. There is even a fan page with walkthroughs, cheat codes, etc. Chapter 1 of the game is free (and provides a complete, satisfying game in and of itself); to enjoy Chapter 2, the full version must be purchased for $6.90.
