Larbin is a powerful web crawler (also called [web] robot, spider...). It
is intended to fetch a large number of web pages to fill the database of a
search engine. With a network fast enough, Larbin is able to fetch more than
100 million pages on a standard PC.
Larbin was initially developed for the XYLEME project in the VERSO team at
INRIA. The goal of Larbin was to go and fetch XML pages on the web to fill
the database of an xml-oriented search engine.
The following can be done with Larbin:
o A crawler for a search engine
o A crawler for a specialized search enginer (xml, images, mp3...)
o Statistics on the web (about servers or page contents)
Larbin is created by: Sebastien Ailleret
Eagle Mode is an advanced solution for a futuristic style of
man-machine communication, in which the user can visit almost
everything simply by zooming in. It has a professional file manager,
file viewers and players for most of the common file types, a chess
game, a 3D mines game, a multi-function clock and some fractal fun,
all integrated in a virtual cosmos. By featuring a separate
popup-zoomed control view, help texts in the things they are
describing, editable bookmarks, multiple input methods, fast
anti-aliased graphics, a virtually unlimited depth of panel tree,
and by its portable C++ API, Eagle Mode aims to be a cutting edge
of zoomable user interfaces.
This is a statistic plugin for Squeezebox Server. Squeezebox Server
normally stores statistics about the last time a track was played,
when a specific track was added to the library and how many times a
track has been played. The problem is that all of these statistics are
cleared every time you perform a full rescan of Squeezebox Server.
The TrackStat plugin solves this problem by making sure that the
statistics survive a rescan. Besides this TrackStat also extends the
statistics a bit, one example is that it doesn't count a track as
played just because you listen to the first 2 seconds of it, you will
have to play a certain amount of the track until it is played.
TrackStat also makes it possible to put a rating on all your tracks by
holding a number between 1-5 down on the now playing screen.
The other main functionality the TrackStat plugins provides is various
ways to browse your music based on the statistic information. The
standard Squeezebox Server only makes it possible to show most played
tracks. The TrackStat plugin makes it possible to show the statistics
in a lot more ways. The purpose is simply to give you another way to
select which music you like to play, for example like:
* Find tracks you haven't played for a long time
* Find tracks you have recently added to the library
* Find top rated tracks
* Find least played tracks
* And a lot more...
The Mousetweaks package provides mouse accessibility enhancements for the
GNOME desktop.
These enhancements are:
1. It offers a way to perform the various clicks without using any
hardware button.
2. It allows users to perform a right click by doing a click&hold of the
left mouse button. (For a left-handed mouse user, the terms left and right
have to be inverted.)
3. It provides an applet that the user can install on a panel. This applet
creates an area on the panel into which the pointer can be captured until
the user releases it with a predefined button and modifier combination.
Gnomoradio is quickly becoming a fully-featured music player and peer
to peer file sharing system. Here is a quick outline of its current
features that more or less work:
* Finds and plays mp3's and ogg's that are located on the
user's hard drive
* Sorts songs in playlists, including search playlists for
songs that match a given criteria
* Searches for, downloads and shares songs that are available
under a Creative Commons license
* Recommends songs based on a user's listening preferences,
almost like a totally personalized radio broadcast
iperf is a tool for measuring the maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth along
a path between two hosts. It allows the tuning of various
parameters and UDP characteristics, and reports bandwidth, delay
jitter, datagram loss. iperf was originally developed by NLANR/DAST.
iperf3 is a new implementation from scratch, with the goal of a
smaller, simpler code base, and a library version of the functionality
that can be used in other programs. iperf3 also a number of features
found in other tools such as nuttcp and netperf, but were missing from
iperf 2.x. iperf3 is not backwards compatible with iperf 2.x.
nuttcp is a network performance measurement tool intended for use
by network and system managers. Its most basic usage is to determine
the raw TCP (or UDP) network layer throughput by transferring memory
buffers from a source system across an interconnecting network to
a destination system, either transferring data for a specified time
interval, or alternatively transferring a specified number of bytes.
nuttcp is based on nttcp, but have several useful features such
as a server mode, rate limiting, multiple parallel streams, and
timer based usage.
A simple UNIX client allowing you to send SMS messages to mobile phones
and pagers. The software currently supports a number of providers
and protocols from various countries.
Using an unlisted provider that allows TAP access should be pretty straight
forward.
There are a large number of services that do not appear to use TAP, but
instead, simple user interfaces for interactive use by a user dialing up
with a modem. For several UK based services such as these drivers have been
written, note that providers often offer more that one service and as such
you may require a different driver for each one.
Boulder IO is a simple TAG=VALUE data format designed for sharing
data between programs connected via a pipe. It is also simple
enough to use as a common data exchange format between databases,
Web pages, and other data representations.
The basic data format is very simple. It consists of a series of
TAG=VALUE pairs separated by newlines. It is record-oriented.
The end of a record is indicated by an empty delimiter alone on a
line. The delimiter is "=" by default, but can be adjusted by the
user.
Cego is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). Cego
supports transactional SQL query requests in a multithreaded
architecture. For high availability requirements, Cego supports a
database shadowing feature. Several compute nodes can be defined in
a Cego database configuration, where each node is able to manage a
number of so called table sets. For each tableset, a backup node
can be defined, which runs is recover mode for the corresponding
tableset. If required, the tableset can be switched to the backup
node and this node gets the active node for the tableset.
