SQLyog: Open source MySQL manager for Windows

SQLyog
I've never actually heard of SQLyog before (even though it claims to be the "most popular MySQL GUI for the last 4 years"), but its web site is making a big deal out of the fact that this GUI front-end for MySQL is now open source, ergo free, and I certainly won't complain about there being more free MySQL front-ends in the world. To be fair, it's the "Community Edition" that's gone OSS--Enterprise will still cost you--but it does tout a solid feature set, including a favorites manager, a tabbed query/result set editor, SQL templates, export to CSV/XML/HTML, user management, and more. With the recent death of MySQL-Front, SQLyog is a very welcome addition to the open source family.

Forumwarz - a potentially offensive time waster

I pwn UAfter spending the better part of an hour on Forumwarz I still can't decide if it's just sick or if it's kind of fun. It's a bit like a car wreck on the highway. I know I shouldn't be looking but I can't quite turn away.

It's sick, it's twisted, it's the internet on it's worst level and darn it, it's kind of fun. At least for a little while.

Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the internet - or at least the Forumwarz version of it. Your goal is to complete missions that are given to you through a mock up of GoogleTalk called Sentrillion.

Your first "friend" is ShallowEsophagus who begins giving you missions to pwn various forums by being a troll. Depending on the character type you are assigned at start up, you have tools like drooling on the keyboard or bashing your head on the keyboard that you can use to destroy forum threads and eventually, pwn a forum.

Future missions involve buying illegal software from the Russians, pwning more difficult forums and other internet oddness.

Completing missions gives you cash, called Flezz in game, and items that you can pawn or use in other missions. The game is NOT for those easily offended. It's crass, coarse and there are frequent f-bombs in the fake chat sessions.

This is also a game for a more mature audience as it requires you to shop at the Drugs R Fun store to get various concoctions to improve your playing, engage in certain cyber activities to get more Flezz and just generally use a more adult perspective.

If you can get past that, here are the more enjoyable and time-wasting aspects.
