use the install tool, or edit typo3conf/localconf.php to add your ip address 
to the devIPmask setting:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["SYS"]["devIPmask"] = 'my.home.ip.address';

then use

    debug($array_to_dump);

or

    debug($GLOBALS);

and it will be displayed only to visitors using the specified ip addresses 
i.e. you.
