grabc is s simple but very useful program to determine the color string in hex (or RGB components) by clicking on a pixel on the screen. While web browsing, lots of time you find a nice color and wonder what color is that! Well just use grabc! When this program is run, the mouse pointer is grabbed and changed to a cross hair and when the mouse is clicked, the color of the clicked pixel is written to stdout in hex prefixed with #. It will the R, G, B component also in the stderr.

Gromit (GRaphics Over MIscellaneous Things) is a small tool to make annotations on the screen. When making presentations of the Gimp I found myself often moving the mousepointer around the point of interest until hopefully everybody noticed it. This annoyed me, since it is a very vague way to highlight something. I dreamt of a small programm which allows me to simply draw on the screen, ignoring any window-borders.

p7zip is a Unix port of 7-Zip, a file archiver with high compression ratio (www.7-zip.org) with lots of features: * 7-Zip is free software distributed under the GNU LGPL * High compression ratio in new 7z format with LZMA compression o Unicode file names o Variable dictionary size (up to 4 GB) o Compressing speed: about 1 MB/s on 2 GHz CPU o Decompressing speed: about 10-20 MB/s on 2 GHz CPU * Supported formats: o Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR o Unpacking only: RAR, CAB, ISO, ARJ, LZH, CHM, Z, CPIO, RPM, DEB and NSIS * For ZIP and GZIP formats 7-Zip provides compression ratio that is 2-10 % better than ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip * Self-extracting capability for 7z format

A Free Implementation of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm. The library implements all of the algorithm as described in the "Unicode Standard Annex #9, The Bidirectional Algorithm, http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr9/". FriBidi is exhautively tested against Bidi Reference Code, and due to our best knowledge, does not contain any conformance bugs. In the API, we were inspired by the document "Bi-Di languages support - BiDi API proposal" by Franck Portaneri which he wrote as a proposal for adding BiDi support to Mozilla. Internally the library uses Unicode entirely. The character property function was automatically created from the Unicode property list data file, PropList.txt, available from the Unicode Online Data site. This means that every Unicode character will be treated in strict accordance with the Unicode specification. The same is true for the mirroring of characters, which also works for all the characters listed as mirrorable in the Unicode specification.

xpad is a sticky note application written using GTK+ 3.0 that strives to be simple, fault-tolerant, and customizable. xpad consists of independent pad windows; each is basically a text box in which notes can be written. Despite being called xpad, all that is needed to run or compile it is the GTK+ 3.0 libraries. Here is a list of major features in the current xpad current release: * GTK+ 3.0 powered text view. * Fault tolerant. All information is kept on the hard drive, not memory. * xpad is very customizable. The color scheme (text, background, and window borders) and the font can be changed. * A customizable toolbar puts the most frequently used commands at your fingertips. * Support for the X session management protocol. * Support for the www.freedesktop.org system tray proposal.

[ excerpt from developer's www site ] Jam is a small open-source build tool that can be used as a replacement for Make. Even though Jam is a lot simpler to use than Make, it is far more powerful and easy to master. It already works on a large variety of platforms (Unix, Windows, OS/2, VMS, MacOS, BeOS, etc..), it is trivial to port, and its design is sufficiently clear to allow any average programmer to extend it with advanced features at will. The main differences between Jam and Make are the following: - Jam uses "Jamfiles" instead of "Makefiles". - Jamfiles do not normally contain toolset-specific rules or actions. They're thus portable among distinct compilers - Jamfiles are a lot simpler than Makefiles to write and understand, while providing the same functionality, and much, much more !!

Thread::Apartment provides an apartment threading wrapper for Perl classes. "Apartment threading" is a method for isolating an object (or object hierarchy) in its own thread, and providing external interfaces via lightweight client proxy objects. This approach is especially valuable in the Perl threads environment, which doesn't provide a direct means of passing complex, nested structure objects between threads, and for non-threadsafe legacy object architectures, e.g., Perl/Tk. By using lightweight client proxy objects that implement the Thread::Queue::Queueable interface, with Thread::Queue::Duplex objects as the communication channel between client proxies and apartment threads (or between threads in general), a more thread-friendly OO environment is provided, ala Java, i.e., the ability to pass arbitrary objects between arbitrary threads. Thread::Apartment is a fundamental component of the PSiCHE framework (http://www.presicient.com/psiche).

Connectagram is a word unscrambling game. The board consists of several scrambled words that are joined together. You can choose the length of the words, the amount of words, and the pattern that the words are arranged in. The game provides a hint option for times when you are stuck, and features an online word lookup that fetches the definitions of each word from www.wiktionary.org. Your current progress is automatically saved. Note that this game involves a large and varied word list, some of which may be considered inappropriate for children. You can edit the file containing the word list if you wish to remove words from your game. The location of this file varies by platform.

This package will read and write TIFF format images and return them as a pixmap object. Because the resulting object can be very large for even modestly sized TIFF images, images can be reduced as they are read for improved performance. This package is a wrapper around libtiff (www.libtiff.org), on which it depends (i.e. the libtiff shared library must be on your PATH for the binary to work, and tiffio.h must be on your system to build the package from source). By using libtiff's highlevel TIFFReadRGBAImage function, this package inherently support a wide range of image formats and compression schemes. This package also provides an implementation of the Ridler Autothresholding algorithm for easy generation of binary masks.
