NAT traversal for dummies?

I spoke with IPdynamics' Mark Schaeffer yesterday about their just-launched solution for peer-to-peer VPNs.

It's pretty disruptive stuff if you're an SME who'd like the whole remote access+network security hairball to go away. I'll put it this way: the days of GotoMyPC charging $20/machine/month are _very_ limited.

I'll try to write up more later.

Firefox Smart Keywords?

I've entered the CPAN shortcut mentioned by chromatic and it's pretty useful. FF never ceases to amaze.

TSQLMacro?

When I do a big ETL job, I often want to test things out by restricting my load to a subset of the entire database (so each test doesn't take 15 minutes.) The way I've done that is to run the load against views, and have in each view a filter clause i.e. getting the TOP 100 records.

Using macros looks like a much more elegant alternative.
