EFlite is a speech server for Emacspeak and other screen readers that allows
them to interface with Festival Lite, a free text-to-speech engine developed at
the CMU Speech Center as an off-shoot of Festival. EFlite is still in beta,
but I have been using it successfully with Yasr to get speech on my notebook
under Linux without having to lug my Speak-out around. It uses Festival Lite's
code to interface with the sound driver and, therefore, should work with some
versions of ALSA, but I have only tested it with the OSS sound drivers so far.

NoSQL Benchmark (nb) is a multi-threaded benchmark tool for evaluating main
database performance metrics using OLTP-alike benchmarking against
a specified workload.
Features include:
* benchmarking types: unlimited, time limited or maximum thread limited
* different threads creation policies: at once or interleaved
* key distribution supported: uniform, gaussian
* key types supported: string, u32, u64
* CSV report file generation supported (for future plot generation)
* single configuration file
* workload tests are specified in percents against a total request count
* supported database drivers: tarantool, leveldb (redis, memcached planned).
* plotter tool (CSV to GNU Plot generation)
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.
DBIx::Abstract - DBI SQL abstraction.
This module provides methods for doing manipulating database tables
This module provides methods retrieving and storing data in SQL
databases. It provides methods for all of the more important SQL
commands (like SELECT, INSERT, REPLACE, UPDATE, DELETE).
It endeavors to produce an interface that will be intuitive to those
already familiar with SQL.
Notable features include:
* data_source generation for some DBD drivers.
* Can check to make sure the connection is not stale and reconnect
if it is.
* Controls statement handles for you.
* Can delay writes.
* Generates complex where clauses from hashes and arrays.
* Shortcuts (convenience functions) for some common cases. (Like
select_all_to_hashref.)
Writing table-driven tests is usually a good idea. Adding a test case doesn't
require adding code, so it's easy to avoid fucking up the other tests. However,
actually going from a table of tests to a test that runs is non-trivial.
Test::TableDriven makes writing the test drivers trivial. You simply define your
test cases and write a function that turns the input data into output data to
compare against. Test::TableDriven will compute how many tests need to be run,
and then run the tests.
Concentrate on your data and what you're testing, not plan tests = scalar keys
%test_cases> and a big foreach loop.

MythTV is a "Personal Video Recorder", i.e. a computer-based video
recorder. It supports pausing and rewinding live TV, multiple tuner
cards, hardware or software video compression, onscreen program
guides and a distributed architecture.
MythTV requires tuner drivers which support the V4L standard.
Currently no official FreeBSD driver does so, but the latest version
of a beta version of the cxm driver is available from
http://usleepless.110mb.com/pvrxxx_port-10042007.tgz. Problems
have been reported with this port; if you use it, you should join
the FreeBSD-multimedia mailing list and report where appropriate.
The Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK)
The DPDK is a set of software libraries to enable packet processing. It
consists of a set of polling mode drivers (PMD) which can be used to pull
network packets directly from a Network Interface Card (NIC), as well as
other libraries to assist in the processing of those packets. The additional
libraries include ones for:
* memory and buffer management
* packet classification
* software rings or FIFOs to allow packet transfer between cores
amongst others.
Applications written using the DPDK run in userspace. The devices used by a
DPDK application are removed from kernel control and are instead managed
directly by that application.
Python-LLFUSE is a set of Python bindings for the low level FUSE API. It
requires at least FUSE 2.8.0 and supports both Python 2.x and 3.x. It runs
under Linux, OS-X, FreeBSD and NetBSD.
Japanese 8 dot font named `elisa font'.
You can use 'k8', 'r8', 'a8' as an alias for elisa font, 4x8 dots
jis.x0201 font, 4x8 dots iso8859-1 font.
A simple usage:
% kterm -fn a8 -fr r8 -fk k8
