command line screencap->url thingy
My second project using appengine. You sign up and pick a url, download a little client, and running it puts a screenshot at the url. Works for everyone as long as you're not running Windows, and has tons of exciting features enumerated in the FAQ!

So everybody except that pesky 90%? It would be trivially easy to write something like your client in .NET, and I could probably hack something together if you want to let Windows people join the party.

Actually burnmp3 that would be great if you wanted to whip something up! I looked at cygwin and there didn't seem to be a way through that, so I gave up.

Done. Check your mail, I sent the binary and source to the Gmail account you listed on your profile page.

I've been meaning to make something like this forever. You, sir, are cool. My one suggestion is to not name the client 'cap' as Capistrano already has a strong claim to that name (at least in the Rails world).
