xpra is similar to rdesktop, except it lets you run single application windows instead of a whole desktop environment. It also lets you “detach” from the session, so the applications you run will stay running on the Raspberry Pi when you turn off your other computer.

This would be idea, but I cannot get this working properly. At some point I had the Raspbian repository xpra working, but now I can’t even get that version to exist. It says it installs, but it doesn’t exist on the Raspberry Pi or my desktop.

was github.com/gantt/downloadyoutube

A cross-browser script that adds a button to download YouTube videos as MP4 and FLV files. This script downloads the videos directly from YouTube and it integrates with YouTube’s interface.

It creates a button under the video, to the left of “Add to”.

Indispensable!

Online learning >

https://github.com/learningequality/ka-lite/

An offline version of Khan Academy.

A free lightweight solution providing high-quality education where you need it most.

Though this software is unofficial, it is known of and approved by the official website.

disliked – because it has no concept of building a larger topic of things to work on, and showing an easy path to progress through them. Needing to pick through a large number of topics, sub-topics and quizzes and then manually and repeatedly going back into that list is inexcusably frustrating.
