Two MySQL databases for handling multiple media types... typically used for lending systems, but can also be used just to manage your catalog.
DPL (Distributed Library Project) http://www.thoughtcrime.org/software/dlp/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/dlp - This is the software distribution page for the Distributed Library Project, a website which creates a distributed library of people's books, videos, and music. The project is an experiment in creating community and sharing information within a town or city.
OpenDB http://opendb.iamvegan.net/ - The Open Media Lending Database (OpenDb) is an extremely flexible application to catalogue all sorts of things including DVD, VCD, CD, VHS, GAMES, BOOKS & Laser Discs. Anything that you can collect and lend, you can catalogue with this system. The OpenDb allows you to add new types, by describing them in system database tables designed for the purpose.
http://keepass.sourceforge.net/ The program stores your passwords in a highly encrypted database. This database consists of only one file, so it can be easily transferred from one computer to another.
KeePass supports password groups, you can sort your passwords (for example into Windows, Internet, My Homepage, etc.). You can drag-n-drop passwords into other windows. The powerful auto-type feature will type usernames and passwords for you into other windows. The program can export the database to various formats (like TXT, HTML, XML, CSV,...). It can also import data from various other formats (Password Safe v2 TXT files, CSV files,...).
http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/ Password Safe is a tool that allows you to have a different password for all the different programs and websites that you deal with, without actually having to remember all those usernames and passwords. Password Safe runs on PCs under Windows (95/98/NT/2000/XP). An older (but fully functional) version is available for PocketPC. Linux/Unix clones that use the same database format have also been written (see Related Projects).
Here's some food for thought: imagine a simple instant messaging program, written in your favorite programming languages. One the connection to your chat party is established, all you need to do is send the text the user types, and wait for incoming text and display it. Now, imagine implementing the same sort of application in an environment where the only possible communication is you making an HTTP request and receiving an XML response.

They brought back regular card payments. I contacted them about this when it happened a month ago, because I had the same concerns. They wouldn't say anything, but there was a distinct pause when I asked if it was a security issue.
Anyway, credit payments are back. And the service is totally worth it for the quality of international calls.
Seriously all of these tagged systems are much better than a flat hierarchy when it comes to reusing bookmarks. Plus having it in your own database or an RSS feed is quite useful. Select a tagged rss feed and add it to your site to display recently related bookmarks, I dig it. Just the ability to share alone makes the system worthwhile. No more digging through email to find a link someone sent you last year.
The public/private/shared scheme is nice too, but I haven't used it much yet. All in all, great project.
There is another open project called Scuttle which brings social bookarking to your own server. It is built around MySQL, PHP and JS and so far very simple to tweak and use for a personal sharing site. Bookmarks can be public, private, or shared with certain members. Neat.
The del.icio.us API was just integrated and you can import from del.icio.us as well. The fellow who started it has a blog at http://www.tecknik.net/poke/.
On February 8, 2005, the Microsoft Security Response Center is planning to release:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/securit y/bulletin/advance.mspx
They are even holding a Web Conference to discuss the quickness with which they supported this...
Information about Microsoft's February Security Bulletins (Level 100) Wednesday, February 09, 2005 11:00 AM-1:00 PM (GMT-08:00) Pacific Time (US & Canada). We are extending this webcast by one hour this month to allow additional time to answer customer questions about the details and deployment of the updates.
Not exactly what you're looking for, but it fits the issue...
Consumerism and infantilism went hand in hand; and through their spending, the consuming public were just as culpable for their own infantilization as the corporate "artistes" and their marketing agents: "I mean, who buys that shit? Is there that much babysitting money being passed around right now?... When did we start listening to pre-pubescent white girls? I must have missed that meeting" (D). For their complicity, the buying public set themselves up for the same Swiftian solutions that Hicks offered to the sold-out performers: "'I'm a happy consumer! And you know, I'm concerned about what my children consume! I'd like to consume the barrel of a twelve-gauge shotgun right now -- blam!'"
That man was truely brilliant and I'm sorry I only first heard of him when he was sampled on the Kleptones mashup, "Yoshimi Battles the Hip Hop Robots". I just got the DVD from Ryko disk and have been showing it to all my friends. The message he gives about the "war" in Iraq, circa 1991, is so frighteningly relevant I'm scared to laugh at times. Hicks was a genius at bringing hard contemporary issues to the forefront while pleasing us with the digestible aftertaste of humor. He must be lauging his ass off at us now...
One nice interface that does something similar to this is snap.com. I like how it allows you to refine the search from multiple selections. Much nicer than multiple pages of data to click thru. You can just close in on your desired item, back out a bit and refine as needed. Great visual tracking as you type as well. Very sweet!
Your license was brought to my attention, but I can't figure out what, if anything, GPLCompuglobalhypermeganet does, so rather than risk competing with you, I've decided simply to buy you out.

I just downloaded http://www.metropipe.net/ProductsPVPM.shtml which uncompresses to an executable Knoppix environment. Runs on top of Windows or Linux so no need to even reboot the client machine.
Could use some updating now that Firefox 1.0 is out, but overall I found it to be a very compact and usable resource. Look forward to the release that supports Mac OS X.
Ya know, I realize you've got to install something on my PC to scan it, but it's error page instructions like these that get people doing stupid stuff in the first place...
HouseCall (for Netscape) installation It appears that the required components for HouseCall are not currently installed on your computer. To install HouseCall, do the following steps:
1. download this program;
2. run it;
3. restart your Netscape browser.
Though I suppose if it were any more elaborate people would just skim over it anyway. But the least they could do is build a better page around the installer that explains what it's doing.
Representative Brown said, "I come from Florida, where you and others participated in what I call the United States coup d'etat. We need to make sure that it doesn't happen again. Over and over again after the election when you stole the election, you came back here and said get over it. No we're not going to get over it and we want verification from the world."
Those comments drew an immediate objection from Republican members of the House. Leaders moved to strike her comments from the record. The House also censured Brown which kept her from talking on the House floor for the rest of the day.
Interesting thing about the wireless ISPs in Eastern WA is that they are intensely competing for coverage. To the point of knocking down each others repeaters, towers, antennas, etc. Yakima County police are using the 802.11(?) spectrum to network their mobile units. Certain people were broadcasting white noise or amping up the power on their transmitters enough to bring the sherrif out . They should be getting their own spectrum within a year, but for now the money they're saving by using off the shelf equipment makes up for the wait.
