DropCopy is a insanely easy way to share files over your local network. Thanks to bonjour and it’s simple configuration, it is the perfect program for quickly sending files to other users on your local network.
There is a iPhone version too, Mobile DropCopy. There is a lite version, and the full version (which is $4.99).
If you’re in a Apple-centric LAN it’s perfect. Unfortunately there are only OSX and iPhone versions.

webcal links (eg. webcal://www.domain.com/calendar.ics)will only work in Internet Explorer if Outlook 2007 is installed on the users machine. Office 2003 or earlier do not install the support required to make webcal links active.

Sikuli is an automating script builder gui system. So it automates tasks.
It has a lot of potential and could become very user friendly if it was combined with automator.

CUPS (Common Unix Printing System), is running by default on OSX systems as the print server. The web interface allows you to easily administer the CUPS server. You can even have it send an RSS feed to a printer when your computer starts.

Use a CGI proxy service on your secure site. Download CGIProxy. Upload to your sites cgi-bin folder (most hosting packages will have that set already). Once uploaded, change the permissions of the ‘nph-proxy.cgi’ file to 755 (rwxr-xr-x) Owner=Read,Write,Excute Group=Read, No Write, Excute Everyone=Read, No Write, Execute.
Visit the CGI script on your secure address: https://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/nph-proxy.cgi
Type in the address of the non-secure item you’re trying to show on your secure site. Uncheck “Show URL entry form”. Click “Begin Browsing”.
After the page loads, you can copy the address from the address bar, and it will be using your secure address.
Should look something like: https://www.yoursite.com/cgi-bin/nph-proxy.cgi/000000A/http/www.nonsecure-site.com/awesome-page.html
Now paste that address in your site and no more IE warning.
