TightVNC is a free remote control software package derived from the popular VNC software. With TightVNC, you can see the desktop of a remote machine and control it with your local mouse and keyboard, just like you would do it sitting in the front of that computer. TightVNC is:

• free, GPL-licensed, with full source code available
• useful in remote administration, remote customer support, education, and for many other purposes
• cross-platform, available for Windows and Unix, compatible with other VNC software

If you would like to learn more about TightVNC, consider reading this short introduction. Also, check the documentation pages where you will find answers to many important questions.

Note! Even though this is a solid and well tested product remember to pick a hard-to-guess password to avoid abuse. Otherwise others will gain complete control of your PC, and there’s enough bad guys out there just waiting for an opportunity like that…

In your next break (from work) I encourage you to have a look at a few amazing images found at SlightlyWarped.com. And to pay respect to my “master” Thomas (the glaciologist) I’ve inserted one of these photos below

Boarding now… the bus to Sydney

The world’s longest “regular” bus journey was launched yesterday, leaving London on the 15,000-mile (24140 kilometres), 84-day trip to Australia.

For some of the 38 travellers watching their last London sunrise for months, the OzBus offers the long and scenic way home; for others, a spectacular beginning to a career break. But as the pioneering passengers stood waiting yesterday to board for the world’s longest bus ride, one phrase kept being repeated: “The trip of a lifetime”.

Each of the passengers has paid £3,750 for accommodation, most meals and transportation – though the hop between Bali and Darwin in northern Australia will cost them another £175; the bus is to be shipped by cargo vessel, while the passengers fly.

The route from London to Sydney passes through some unforgettable locations

Came across a strange looking photo of a barn on Digg.com today. Click the thumb for a larger version. Almost incredible that it can stay up like that…

Then again I might be a victim of a “Photoshopper”

The Great Picture — the world’s largest photograph — will have its premier showing September 6 to 29, 2007 at Art Center College of Design, South Campus Wind Tunnel, Pasadena, California.

In official certificates issued July, 2007 in London, Guinness states: “The largest camera was created from an air plane hanger measuring 13.71 x 48.76 x 24.38 m (45 x 160 x 80 ft). The camera produced a photograph on canvas measuring 9.62 x 33.83 m (31ft 7in x 111ft). The attempt was organized by The Legacy Project at the Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, California, USA in June 2006.”
