mod_flickr is a apache module (for apache 2.0 and above) that makes call to
flickr via flickr API's to get a users (configured in httpd.conf) public photo
sets, photos in sets and recent photos uploaded in flickr etc...
Currently only 4 api calls have been implmeneted (all are GET calls). These
API's return data in XML format. The XML can then be parsed by the calling code
(e.g. front end Javascript/php) to display thumbnails of the images say in a
scrollbar. (Code for front end is not distributed as yet)
This module can be used by web developers who want to show their photos/albums
uploaded in flickr on their website and/or access to metadata of their photos
for their own needs/purposes.
Do you ever wish you could cut two or more separate pieces of text
at once from a window? Do you ever need to save the output from one
command for reuse in several subsequent tasks? Do you ever find
yourself wanting some easy means of globally exporting data, e.g.
to a parent shell, to another xterm or application, or to another
machine or user? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then
xcb is for you.
Xcb provides access to the cut buffers built into every X server.
It allows the buffers to be manipulated either via the command line,
or with the mouse in a point and click manner. The buffers can be
used as holding pens to store and retrieve arbitrary data fragments,
so any number of different pieces of data can be saved and recalled later.
The program is designed primarily for use with textual data.
The xxkb program is a keyboard layout switcher and indicator. Unlike the
programs that reload keyboard maps and use their own hot-keys, xxkb is a
simple GUI for XKB (X keyboard extension) and just sends commands to and
accepts events from XKB. That means that it will work with the existing
configuration of X11 server without any modifications.
Additional features include:
- Remembers the current layout in each application and switches to it
on window focus change
- Can put its own icon on an application window titlebar
- Allows to designate two main layouts from multi-layout keymaps
- Alternative layouts can be set separately for each application and
can be changed during run-time
- Supports custom actions for certain windows (e.g. ignore, set initial
active layout on application startup)
- Can be docked as a docklet or placed in the system tray
Perl's require builtin (and its use wrapper) requires the files it loads to
return a true value. This is usually accomplished by placing a single
1;
statement at the end of included scripts or modules. It's not onerous to add but
it's a speed bump on the Perl novice's road to enlightenment. In addition, it
appears to be a non-sequitur to the uninitiated, leading some to attempt to
mitigate its appearance with a comment:
1; # keep require happy
or:
1; # Do not remove this line
or even:
1; # Must end with this, because Perl is bogus.
This module packages this "return true" behaviour so that it need not be written
explicitly. It can be used directly, but it is intended to be invoked from the
import method of a Modern::Perl-style module that enables modern Perl features
and conveniences and cleans up legacy Perl warts.

Shorten reduces the size of waveform files (such as audio) using
Huffman coding of prediction residuals and optional additional
quantisation. In lossless mode the amount of compression obtained
depends on the nature of the waveform. Those composing of low
frequencies and low amplitudes give the best compression, which may
be 2:1 or better. Lossy compression operates by specifying a minimum
acceptable segmental signal to noise ratio or a maximum bit rate.
Lossy compression operates by zeroing the lower order bits of the
waveform, so retaining waveform shape.
Permission is granted to use this software for decoding and
non-commercial encoding (e.g. private or research use).
If you intend to use shorten, be sure to check the full license,
which can be displayed by "shorten -l".
GTK frontend for XNeur keyboard layout switcher.
In-place converter of text typed in with a wrong keyboard layout. When users
work in multilingual environment (e.g. Russian+English), they sometimes type
in text with wrong keyboard layout. In auto mode XNeur can automatically
detect language of a word user typed, switch keyboard layout and convert the
word from one keyboard layout into another. In manual mode user has ability
to convert last typed word or some selected text using hot keys. The idea of
this utility is similar to Punto Switcher for Windows. For now XNeur support
English, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, French, Romanian, Bulgarian, Czech,
Greek, Estonian, Armenian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Poland, Spanish and Uzbek
languages.
From the Phing homepage:
PHing Is Not GNU make; it's a PHP project build system or build tool based on
Apache Ant. You can do anything with it that you could do with a traditiona
build system like GNU make, and its use of simple XML build files and
extensible PHP "task" classes make it an easy-to-use and highly flexible build
framework.
Features include running PHPUnit and SimpleTest unit tests (including test
result and coverage reports), file transformations (e.g. token replacement,
XSLT transformation, Smarty template transformations), file system operations,
interactive build support, SQL execution, CVS/SVN/GIT operations, tools for
creating PEAR packages, documentation generation (DocBlox, PhpDocumentor) and
much, much more.
nio4r provides an abstract, cross-platform stateful I/O selector API for Ruby.
I/O selectors are the heart of "reactor"-based event loops, and monitor multiple
I/O objects for various types of readiness, e.g. ready for reading or writing.
The most similar API provided by Ruby today is Kernel.select, however the select
API requires you to pass in arrays of all of the I/O objects you're interested
in every time. nio4r provides a more object-oriented API that lets you register
I/O objects with a selector then handle them when they're selected for various
types of events.
nio4r is modeled after the Java NIO API, but simplified for ease-of-use.
Its goals are:
- Expose high-level interfaces for stateful IO selectors
- Keep the API small to maximize both portability and performance across many
different OSes and Ruby VMs
- Provide inherently thread-safe facilities for working with IO objects
BIND version 9 is a major rewrite of nearly all aspects of the underlying BIND
architecture. Some of the important features of BIND 9 are:
DNS Security: DNSSEC (signed zones), TSIG (signed DNS requests)
IP version 6: Answers DNS queries on IPv6 sockets, IPv6 resource records (AAAA)
Experimental IPv6 Resolver Library
DNS Protocol Enhancements: IXFR, DDNS, Notify, EDNS0
Improved standards conformance
Views: One server process can provide multiple "views" of the DNS namespace,
e.g. an "inside" view to certain clients, and an "outside" view to others.
Multiprocessor Support
BIND 9.9 includes a number of changes from BIND 9.8 and earlier releases,
including:
NXDOMAIN redirection
Improved startup and reconfiguration time, especially with large
numbers of authoritative zones
New "inline-signing" option, allows named to sign zones completely
transparently, including static zones
Many other new features, especially for DNSSEC
See the CHANGES file for more information on features.
