If like me you travel around a lot and use the internet from many different places this is for you, g.ho.st has stolen its naming from del.ici.us but that aside it is an amazing FREE service. A total desktop environment in a web browser, I has twitter, google apps, zoho apps, and 3Gb of storage all built in. Once you have an account setup you can login and use the virtual computer from home, the local library (Yes it works in IE 6.0 as well amazing), the local cyber cafe, or freinds pc. The point is wherever your access your virtual PC you will see the same setup, the same files and work you have done, not only this but you can edit pictures, upload and download files directly to the virtual computer just as if it was a real computers desktop, as an added bonus when in librarys and cyber cafes, bypass many poorly written security features the IT's departments of these places seem to force on you, with the builtin web browser on your virtual computer. I can't recommend this enough, with secuirty being managed by Amazon, Apps by Google, Zoho, 3Gb of storage, twitter and google account linking, email and web browsing proxy. What more can you possibly ask for! www.g.ho.st Some screen shots, Click the screen shot for a lardger image.

JiWire, Wireless hotspot finder
Great site for finding a hotspot before you travel. Remember to find at least two hotspot's you never know when one might be down or under heavy use when you arrive. Also remember to check the type of hotspot because some need passwords, or are only accessible once a payment is made or free code is entered. Some hotspots require access passwords.
I have listed a few passwords and user names here for common hotspots.
Arkells Wireless
username: arkells
password: ales
I will post some cloud.net and ipass, 30 minute access codes in the web forums, for registered members of the site, All I ask is once you use a code please write a post to say it has been used, and if you can collect any codes please post them.
How do I get these codes? Simple every time I visit a bar that offers a FREE access code with the order, say weather spoons or special offers at Starbucks, Nero Cafe etc. I'll collect a code or two for later use, you never know when you may need one. Check out JiWire to find a hotspot near you, or check before you travel, I don't recommend the widgets, toolbar's, addon's, and app's they offer for you devices just surf in and get what you need when you need it.

Google Docs combines the features of two services, Writely and Spreadsheets, which were merged into a single product on October 10, 2006.

Link Picnik

Picnik is a very useful tool when working in library's who may have limited software installed on the local system, its no photoshop but it will get the basic and some advanced tasks done with ease.
