A service that runs on my laptop that automatically checks a file on my web server. When that file contains something (or exists, whatever), my laptop self destructs (or deletes specific folders/files).

1- Laptop get stolen
2- I upload a file called "fuckyoubastard.htm" on my server.
3- Thief connects to the net, laptop automatically checks my site for that file, it exists ...
4- Laptop deletes everything, my server logs the IP that asked for that file (which might come in handy.)

My laptop was recently stolen and I wish I had some way of remotely erasing my poo poo. That would be handy for my home PC too.

Hopefully this is good enough:

GoToHell 0.2
source code here

If you have GoToHell 0.1, download and install 0.2 right now. Version 0.1 contained a pretty serious bug where if it couldn't connect to the server hosting the theft alert file, then it would delete all your private files (or whatever you had set it to delete) whether the theft alert file exists or not! I found this out the hard way when I turned on my computer while my internet connection was down :(

It should automatically run each time you turn on your computer. Read the README for instructions on how to set it up once installation is over.

I also should point out that I wrote this program in one night, so not only is it pretty rough around the edges, but it might blow up your computer or erase all your porn or something. Hopefully not, though ;) I'd test it on a folder full of empty text files first.

I've discovered a pretty serious bug in the program I submitted, GoToHell 0.1. Earlier I turned on my computer, but since it's been raining my internet connection was down. GoToHell couldn't connect to my web server, and proceeded to delete all my personal files. :mad:

The bug has been fixed, and my earlier post along with the TinyAppz wiki page have been updated with links to the new version (0.2). Anyone using GoToHell 0.1 should immediately switch to 0.2.

Edit: I also rewrote a lot of it to make the code slightly less embarassing ;)

I am looking for a program that I can point to a folder, (e:/mp3s) and will make a m3u or other playlist in alphabetical order of the files inside each folder, for each and every sub-folder.

I would like these files to be placed in any directory that I choose.

Is this very hard?

I'll take a shot at this. Should be pretty easy.

Edit: Curse you Neurozys :argh:
