Action Record
In Rails, the model is handled by what's called a object-relational
mapping layer entitled Active Record. This layer allows you to present
the data from database rows as objects and embellish these data objects
with business logic methods.
It is analogous to cdb from D.J.Berstein, but written completely from scratch,
has some functionality removed and some new added compared to DJB's one, a bit
faster, and much easier to use (only one library needed at link time).
sqliteman is the best developer's and/or admin's GUI tool for
Sqlite3 in the world. No joking here (or just a bit only). It

And much more, it's available for all major platforms, and
it's free.

Autocutsel synchronizes the two copy/paste buffers mainly used by X
applications. It unifies "clipboards" between VNC servers and Windows.
The 'cutsel' binary performs the synchronization whenever it is run.
The 'autocutsel' binary performs the synchronization continuously. I
suggest running it from ~/.vnc/xstartup by adding a line like this at
the top:
exec autocutsel &

business cards for the GNOME desktop environment. It is
designed to work with various laser/ink-jet peel-off label

supply stores.
Freemind is an incredible thought organization tool
FROM THE AUTHORS:
FreeMind is a premier free mind-mapping software written in Java. The recent
development has hopefully turned it into high productivity tool. We are proud
that the operation and navigation of FreeMind is faster than that of Mind
Manager because of one-click "fold / unfold" and "follow link" operations.
So you want to write a completely new metaphysics? Why don't you use FreeMind?
You have a tool at hand that remarkably resembles the tray slips of Robert
Pirsig, described in his sequel to Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
called Lila. Do you want to refactor your essays in a similar way you would
refactor software? Or do you want to keep personal knowledge base, which is
easy to manage? Why don't you try FreeMind?
FROM THE PORTER (me):
Freemind is usable for many different things. I'm using it to plan
projects, document servers and systems, plan and do html presentations
guides, record and mantain progress of tasks and many other things.
