Tonido does cloudless private file sharing, collaboration, and more


Not everyone wants to work in the cloud, but keeping a group connected by other means can be a little tricky. Tonido's cross-platform desktop suite makes the process about as easy as it can get.

Tonido installs as a server app on your primary computer (Linux, Mac, and Windows downloads are available). Once configured, users simply connect to the machine with their web browser by browing to http://host:10001. You can, of course, customize the port number - Tonido makes that easy as well, with uPNP support to take care of router re-configuration. Access can be limited to local IPs only or opened up for WAN access and you can select how much bandwidth.

The suite include four main components: workspace, file sharing, photo gallery, and jukebox. As I've been experimenting with the beta I've been taking screenshots - which you can view in the gallery.

NetOffice - free content management system

netofficeThere are a lot of CMS's out there, and we've mentioned a couple. NetOffice is another CMS, and OpenSourceCMS rates it at a 4.32, which is pretty good. It's got some great features for working in groups, like Gantt charts (we all love those, don't we?), full support for the iCal format (so Sunbird can import), and the usual panoply of checkpoint and people tracking stuff... The only problem is, there hasn't been a lot going on with the versions since middle of last year. Some people on the forums have been asking if the project is dead, and there's not really a definitive answer. Still, it looks like a promising project, and possibly useful if you're needing a groupware-oriented CMS.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
