xautomation
xautomation allows you to control X from the command line. "The control interface allows mouse movement, clicking, button up/down, key up/down, etc, and uses the XTest extension so you don't have the annoying problems that xse has when apps ignore sent events. The visgrep program find images inside of images and reports the coordinates, allowing programs to find buttons, etc, on the screen to click on."
Fascinating. Gotta try this one.

Wormhole2
Wormhole2 is a VST which transmits audio over a network. It's cross-platform so you can transmit audio from a PC to a Mac.
It requires Steinberg's VSTSDK, which is not Open Source.

OfflineIMAP
OfflineIMAP allows you to synchronize IMAP accounts on different computers. For instance, you can delete a message on your home computer, and it will appear deleted on your work computer as well. OfflineIMAP is also useful if you want to use a mail reader that does not have IMAP support, has poor IMAP support, or does not provide disconnected operation.
Killer feature for me is it synchronizes an IMAP account to a local Maildir.
