Fire Extinguisher is a Java application and service that allows users
to tunnel arbitrary TCP connections over HTTP. Useful for connecting to
your Linux system from places where a firewall would normally prevent it.
Use it for telnet, ssh, pop, imap, smtp, or almost any TCP based service.
Accounts are free for the first 15 days, after that we charge $5/month
for service. (minimum 6 month commitment)

===== Announcing =====
Gimp-Savvy.com's Copyright-Free Photo Archive
http://gimp-savvy.com/PHOTO-ARCHIVE/
What is Gimp-Savvy.com?
- -----------------------
Gimp-Savvy.com is a web site providing high-level educational
and practical resources for the Gnu Image Manipulation Program,
a.k.a. the GIMP, and seeking to promote its skillful and
knowledgeable use.
The Copyright-Free Photo Archive
- --------------------------------
To express an idea or a design concept, most image projects need to
find appropriate raw photographic materials. This can often be one
of the most significant challenges of the project. There are many
online stock-photo companies that provide materials for a fee.
However, to promote and accelerate the use of the GIMP, it would be
useful to have a readily available, copyright-free, photo archive.
The archive at Gimp-Savvy.com does just that by providing over
15,000 copyright-free photos and images in an easy-to-browse format.
Over time this archive will also be fully keyword searchable.
It is currently 15% indexed.
