The eLearning XHTML editor (eXe) is a web-based authoring environment designed to assist teachers and academics in the design, development and publishing of web-based learning and teaching materials without the need to become proficient in HTML, XML or complicated web-publishing applications.
The Web is a revolutionary educational tool because it presents teachers and learners with a technology that simultaneously provides something to talk about (content) and the means to hold the conversation (interaction).
Unfortunately, the power of this hypertext medium is constrained in educational settings because the vast majority of teachers and academics do not have the technical skills to build their own web pages, and must therefore rely on the availability of web developers to generate professional looking online content.
Version restrictions:
- Traditionally web-authoring software entails a steep learning curve; it is not intuitive and the applications were not designed for publishing learning content. Consequently teachers and academics have not adopted these technologies for publishing online learning content. eXe aims to provide an intuitive, easy-to-use tool that will enable teachers to publish professional web pages for learning;
- Currently, learning management systems do not offer sophisticated authoring tools for web content (when compared to the capabilities of web-authoring software or the skills of an experienced web developer). eXe will develop a tool that provides professional web-publishing capabilities that can be easily referenced or imported by standards compliant learning management systems;
- Most content management and learning management systems utilize a centralized web server model thus requiring connectivity for authoring. This is limiting for authors with low bandwidth connectivity or no connectivity at all. eXe will be developed as an offline authoring tool without the requirement for connectivity.
- Many content management and learning management systems do not provide an intuitive wysiwyg environment where authors can see what their content will look like in a browser when published, especially when working offline. eXe will mimic wysiwig functionality enabling users to see what the content will look like when published online.
Enhancements:
- Recent versions of eXe have added the ability to embed images and media (audio and video files) into the iDevice template structure.
- Images and media can be used not only in the main field of each iDevice, but in the subfields like "Feedback" as well.
- There have been many bugfixes over the past few months.
- RPMs for Fedora (both Fedora Core 6 and Fedora 7) are being built again.

RubyScript2Exe transforms your Ruby script into a standalone, compressed Windows, Linux or Mac OS X (Darwin) executable.

You can look at it as a "compiler". Not in the sense of a source-code-to-byte-code compiler, but as a "collector", for it collects all necessary files to run your script on an other machine: the Ruby script, the Ruby interpreter and the Ruby runtime library (stripped down for this script). Anyway, the result is the same: a standalone executable (application.exe). And thats what we want!

Because of the gathering of files from your own Ruby installation, RubyScript2Exe creates an executable for the platform its being run on. No cross compile.

And when I say Windows, I mean both Windows (RubyInstaller, MinGW and MSWin32) and Cygwin. But the generated exe under Cygwin is very, very big, because its exes are very big (static?) and it includes cygwin1.dll, so it can run on machines without Cygwin.

There is one more advantage: Because there might be some incompatibilities between the different Ruby versions, you have to test your script with every single version. Unless you distribute your version of Ruby with your script...

If you like RubyScript2Exe, you might want to read Distributing Ruby Applications. Its about how I build, pack and distribute my Ruby applications. Theory and practice.

wxDialer is a simple and easy to use dialer program which allowes to make and receive calls on your modem. This program is based on win9x dialer.exe application.
A microphone is required, and it is suggested that you also have
headphones instead of using your speakers to prevent any nasty feedback. A
telephone headset, naturally, is best for this.
This is program is not designed for voice-over-IP (VoIP) or to dial to ISDN
modems. It dials out using your every day dialup modem, and makes your
computer one big handset.
To run wxDialer, its simply a case of using the appropiate command
(ie: python /home/aaron/python/wxDialer/wxDialer.py) without any arguments. It
doesnt matter if you specify arguments, they are ignored (for now ;)
wxDialer stores configuration information in the dir $HOME/.wxDialer - if it
doesnt exist, it is created along with the config file containing default
values.
Enhancements:
- Fixed a bug where the modem may fail to initialize properly, causing it not to dial out.

Spectalum project is an engine for the CRPG Eye of the Beholder II.

Spectalum is a reverse engineered Open Source game engine for the 1991 CRPG Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon originally developed by Westwood Associates.

Like with most similar projects, the original game data has to be obtained seperately to play the game.

Why..?

Because I loved this game so much - I played it a long long time ago on my Amiga 500 and later on my first PC.

Another point is my interest in classic gaming technologies. I think this Dungeon-Master style is very interesting from a gamers - and a programmers view. You can create fascinating worlds with very low system resources.

How to play

Copy your original game datafiles (ENGLISH version only) into the "original" game folder. Now start the game with the remake-binary (e.g. spectalum.exe).

Eye of the Beholder - the Legend of Darkmoon is a classic role playing game from the early 90s. You move through a static tile-based 3D environment solving puzzles and hunting monsters.

What do I need to play this remake?

My ambition is to create a system-independent 100% remake of the great original. That means old-school 320x200 role playing gameplay. By using the SDL multimedia library and general C++ coding standards the game will run on any libSDL supported platform.

ppsei short from PPS Extract Images is a simple command line program, which tries to extract images from Microsoft PowerPoint documents (PPS/PPT).

Because i get a lot of mails with attached PPS/PPT in, containing some nice images (about universe, about pretty girls, etc). The sender people are using this file format as an image-container, or image-encapsulator.

They could use tar/zip/..., but somehow PPS is the general. On *nix systems only resource-consume application can handle this file formats (openoffice, wine + win.exe), so i decided to write this tool.

Currently only JPEG and PNG files can be extracted. Because the PPS file format is not so well-documented as the gnumeric :-), there is no guarantee, that all images will be grabbed correctly. But the experience is, that it works!

As i said, this is a command line program: you can call it from SHELL (or from favorite email software). It takes only the PPS file(s) as argument, and will extract all detected images to the current directory:

$ ppsei universe.pps beauty-islands.ppt
...
$ gqview (start here some image viewer application, to see the result)
