SMS::Send is intended to provide a driver-based single API for sending SMS and
MMS messages. The intent is to provide a single API against which to write the
code to send an SMS message.
At the same time, the intent is to remove the limits of some of the previous
attempts at this sort of API, like "must be free internet-based SMS services".
SMS::Send drivers are installed separately, and might use the web, email or
physical SMS hardware. It could be a free or paid. The details shouldn't matter.
You should not have to care how it is actually sent, only that it has been sent
(although some drivers may not be able to provide certainty).
Charm is a program for OS X, Linux and Windows that helps to keep track
of time. It is built around two major ideas - tasks and events. Tasks
are the things time is spend on, repeatedly. For example, ironing
laundry is a task. The laundry done for two hours on last Tuesday is an
event in that task. When doing laundry multiple times, the events will
be accumulated, and can later be printed in activity reports or weekly
time sheets. So in case laundry would be done for three hours on
Wednesday again, the activity report for the "Ironing Laundry" task
would list the event on tuesday, the event on wednesday and a total of
five hours.
This is teapot (Table Editor And Planner, Or: Teapot), a new spread sheet
program for UNIX.
The current release has the following features:
o curses based user interface with easy to understand menues
o portable sheet file format uses XDR or ASCII format
o tbl, LaTeX, HTML, CSV or formatted text files can be generated and
simple SC and WK1 sheets can be imported
o typed expression evaluator with the types int, float, string, error,
pointer to cell and empty
o iterative expressions
o powerful cell addressing
o three-dimensional sheets
o new expression evaluator functions can be added very easy
o English, Dutch or German builtin messages or X/OPEN message catalogues
o a user guide, available as pdf and html
o It is still a small and simple program!
NOTE: the GUI interface is not yet supported on FreeBSD
py-rioritized_methods is an extension to PEAK-Rules to prioritize
methods in order to avoid AmbiguousMethods situations.This module
provides four decorators:
prioritized_when
prioritized_around
prioritized_before
prioritized_after
These behave like their peak.rules counterparts except that they accept
an optional prio argument which can be used to provide a comparable
object (usually an integer) that will be used to disambiguate situations
in which more than rule applies to the given arguments and no rule is
more specific than another. That is, situations in which an
peak.rules.AmbiguousMethods would have been raised.
This is useful for libraries which want to be extensible via generic
functions but want their users to easily override a method without
figuring out how to write a more specific rule or when it is not
feasible.
Crafty is a rapidly developing chess engine with more and more features
being added regularly. It can play, analyze, and even annotate games
for you. Crafty can utilize tablebases; these are available for FreeBSD
in the related ports.
The files bitmaps.tgz and sound.tgz are available in your doc directory,
usually /usr/local/share/doc/crafty. The bitmaps are for html
annotations performed by crafty - they should be unpacked into the
directory you normally analyze games into, and all should be fine...
The sounds are for move announcements. Unpack the archive somewhere,
and have a look at the 'speak' script to customize for your use, if
desired.
22.1 -> New "skill" command that can be used to "dumb down" crafty.
"skill <n>" where n is a number between 1 and 100. 100 is max (default)
skill. Skill 70 will drop the playing Elo by about 200 points. Skill
50 will drop it about 400 points. The curve is not linear, and the
closer you get to 1, the lower the rating.
Geomview and OOGL are part of an ongoing effort at the Geometry Center
to provide interactive 3D graphics software which is particularly
appropriate for displaying the kinds of objects and doing the kinds of
operations of interest in mathematics research and education. You can
compute an OOGL data file of a mathematical object that would be
difficult or impossible to build a model of in the real world. In
geomview, besides examining an object in ordinary Euclidean 3-space,
you can look at objects in hyperbolic 3-space and Euclidean 4-space.
The hyperbolic model is the projective one, where geodesics are
straight lines and isometries are represented as 4x4 projective
matrices. While geomview is tailored for mathematical visualization,
it is written to be extensible and can serve as a general-purpose
tool. Its functionality can be extended in an almost unlimited fashion
by external modules.
OWAMP is a command line client application and a policy daemon used
to determine one way latencies between hosts. It is an implementation
of the OWAMP protocol as defined by
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4656.txt. (When referring to the
protocol within this document, "OWAMP" will be in italicized. In
all other instances, "OWAMP" will be referring to this implementation.)
With roundtrip-based measurements, it is hard to isolate the direction
in which congestion is experienced. One-way measurements solve this
problem and make the direction of congestion immediately apparent.
Since traffic can be asymmetric at many sites that are primarily
producers or consumers of data, this allows for more informative
measurements. One-way measurements allow the user to better isolate
the effects of specific parts of a network on the treatment of
traffic.
Finding the home country of a client using only the IP address can be
difficult. Looking up the domain name associated with that address can
provide some help, but many IP address are not reverse mapped to any
useful domain, and the most common domain (.com) offers no help when
looking for country.
This module comes bundled with a database of countries where various IP
addresses have been assigned. Although the country of assignment will
probably be the country associated with a large ISP rather than the
client herself, this is probably good enough for most log analysis
applications, and under test has proved to be as accurate as
reverse-DNS and WHOIS lookup.
This module is a Perl-only implementation of the ECB mode. In
combination with a block cipher such as DES, IDEA or Blowfish, you can
encrypt and decrypt messages of arbitrarily long length. Though for
security reasons other modes than ECB such as CBC should be preferred.
See textbooks on cryptography if you want to know why.
The functionality of the module can be accessed via OO methods or via
standard function calls. Remember that some crypting module like for
example Blowfish has to be installed. The syntax follows that of
Crypt::CBC meaning you can access Crypt::ECB exactly like Crypt::CBC,
though Crypt::ECB is more flexible. For example you can change the key
or the cipher without having to create a new crypt object.
Docbook2odf is a toolkit that automatically converts DocBook to OASIS
OpenDocument (ODF, the ISO standardized format used for texts, spreadsheets
and presentations). Conversion is based on a XSLT which makes it easy to
convert DocBook->ODF, ODT, ODS and ODP as all these documents are XML based.
Also goal of docbook2odf is to generate well formatted documents in
OpenDocument, ready to be used in instant, with actually considering current
rules of the Corporate Identity of organizations. Final results should not be
restricted to text like documents but also many other forms could be generated,
like presentations, charts or forms with images and multimedia.
The result is provided in a one zipped ODF file (.odt/.odp/.ods) with all
required content. There are group of utilities like docbook2odt, docbook2ods
and docbook2odp as docbook2odf is actually universally converting to these
respective formats.
