Mirro is an application used to find the closest mirror to your connection.

Mirro will find the closest mirror to your connection, given a file containing addresses. It pings every site extremely quickly, and sorts the reponses based on the number of hops and the round-trip time.

Ishtar provides a network toolbox for C++ programs.

Ishtar is a set of three C++ libraries that provide useful classes for networked applications. It features basic serialization, a protocol for remote procedure call (RPC), network accessible variables, and hierarchical config files.

A client is also provided.

Ishtar is a set of three C++ libraries providing usefull classes for use with network:

- libishtarnet: The underlying structure, provides network classes and basic serialisation.
- libishtarservices: Built upon libishtarnet, implements a protocol for remote procedure call (RPC).
- libishtarsettings: Built upon libishtarservices, provides network accessible variables and hierarchical config files.

In addition to those libraries, Ishtar contains two programs:

- ishtarclients: Clients that use the RPC to access remote services and variables.
- ishtarproxy: Gateway that redirect queries to multiple servers. Usefull in the context of robotics.

Usage in robotics

In addition to its obvious use as a RPC mechanism and config file accessor, Ishtar can be used within a robot as a software bus to connect its sensors and actuators to its control program or external monitor.

Garidio is an application that allows users on a network to share the contents of their desktop clipboards with each other.

It has been successfully tested on Mac OS X (Tiger), Windows XP (SP2), and Linux (Slackware, SuSE, and Ubuntu), but it should work fine on any system with a working JVM for Java 1.5.

mplay is a console based frontend for MPlayer written in Perl. MPlayer video player plays most audio and video formats. Why use mplay?
Work on mplay was motivated by experience of other console based audio players. Although mplay is a front-end to MPlayer, it extends its functions in several significant ways.
Main features:
- keeps a browsable , sortable and searchable playlist
- provides an internal filebrowser to add files
- provides essential status information
- includes a progress bar
- remembers the position within the track last played before quitting
- shows ID3-info / tag and it is possible to edit ID3-tag
- gives user-friendly output through a colour scheme
- runs as single-instance (provides basic controlling from outside)
- provides basic mixer functions
- provides an own interactive shoutcast streambrowser
- provides interactive help (German/English) for control keys

Neitris is a competitive, network multiplayer version of Tetris. The game features lots of bonuses and powerups used by players against their "victims".
Only the best, fastest, and smartest player will stay alive in the end.
Game Instructions
So, we are ready to go on with the game. At this point, a new window with the title Neitris should have appeared, which reads "Press Start to Start Game". Well....where is this damn Start button, anyway?
The Keys...
The keys used by the game are the following:
- Start: the Start Key ... starts the game and is actually the key "1" on your keyboard (NOT the number 1 key in the numeric keypad, the other one...)
- Left-Right: everybody knows what these two little ones do. Its the left and right arrows in the Numeric Keypad...
- Down: Its the down arrow in the numeric keypad and can be used to make a piece go down faster
- Rotate left: Rotates the piece to the left...the 5 key in the numeric keypad
- Rotate right: Rotates the piece to the right...the return key
- Drop: The drop key is used to instantly put the falling piece down. Its the 0 (Insert key, usually) in the numeric keypad
- Victim: Changes the victim (well talk about it in a sec). The 5 key (not the one in the numeric keypad, the ...other one)
- Use Antidote Key: Uses the antidote to get rid of applied powerups/bonuses(we said, WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT IN A WHILE). The 2 key (again, not the one in the numeric keypad, the ...other one)
- The Reset-Wins key: Reset the wins counter. The 0 key (NOT THE ONE IN THE NUMERIC KEYPAD, I THOUGHT IVE MADE THIS POINT CLEAR SO FAR!!!!!)
WAIT! Before starting to calling me names, I should tell you that you can change the keys if you dont like them (and I bet you dont if youre using a notebook - no numeric keypad there, eh?). To do that, you should use your favorite text editor and edit the file neitris_cfg.py. The naming of the keys in the form K_ is due to the pygame library which simply calls them like this. For normal letters, use K_a, k_b etc (note the lower case in the letter). For the normal arrow keys use K_LEFT, K_RIGHT, K_UP, K_DOWN. For keypad keys, use K_KP0 to K_KP9 and K_KP_ENTER for keypad enter. Function keys are K_F1 etc. Space bar is K_SPACE. Anyway, to see all the available keys do the following:
- type python at a command prompt to invoke the Python Interpreter;
- Then, from inside the interpreter, type import(pygame) and press enter. Then type dir(pygame) and press enter. All the strings beginning with K_ are the ones you can use, thank you very much.
Enhancements:
- This the initial public release of the game.
- Earlier versions (actually svn revisions) can be found at the svn repository at the projects SourceForge page.

XOscript is a transparent communication bridge between objects running in an application server and the browser. JavaScript programmers have access to the methods supported by server side objects. No additional coding techniques are required to call the method of a server side object. Java programmers are free to build an application using any coding style they choose.

The xoscript framework fully supports Java security. During the invocation of any method the Java programmer may have access to the session metadata as well as cookies, params and attributes passed at method call time. No additional argument signatures are required. The framework supports any method return type including object, primitive or client supported Map and Collection interfaces and may pass an array of the aforementioned.

The JavaScript programmer can take advantage of client side support for all of the Map and Collection interfaces used by Java programmers. Supports for 33 of the most useful classes found in the java.util package have been written in JavaScript.

The goal of this project is to let you code the way you want. Providing a simple framework that stays out of the way yet opens the communication gap between the browser and server. Allowing applications to be written without regard to what the framework can or can not handle. A great deal of thought has gone into the most natural way to achieve this end. Using the default implementation of the framework allows for 90 percent of the code just the way it is written today. Under the covers xoscript is divided into 3 services, invocation, persistence and logging. Each of these services can be implemented through a factory class that understands how to create and use your implementation of the service.

Future goals include bringing a server to client event model into the framework enabling the browser and server to interact as if they were one program and building in support for client side custom tags that can be driven by server side logic. Hope you enjoy XOscript.

Media-S project is an open-source development project that aims to create an open Digital Rights interface for the creation, playback, and management of multimedia files.

Because of its open nature, Ogg Vorbis will be the first format to be protected by this initiative.

AIM Sniff is a utility for monitoring and archiving AOL Instant Messenger messages across a network.
You can either do a live dump (actively sniff the network) or read a PCAP file and parse the file for IM messages. You also have the option of dumping the information to a MySQL database, a flat file, STDOUT, or any combination of the three.
AIM Sniff allows administrators to see how often users are chatting to monitor for abuse and you can also use AIM Sniff to monitor for cases of harassment or pirated software trading. It has been tested on FreeBSD, Linux, and OS X.
AIM Sniff is licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Enhancements:
- Several bugfixes from the alpha release are included, as well as a few feature enhancements.
- Daemon mode is now working, and there is a feature to not use a handles file (useful when using the software behind a NAT).
- In addition, the install will prompt for MySQL admin credentials for creating the database.
- Issues with the MSN message types crashing the DB and connections to the DB timing out after a period of time have been fixed.
- Also fixed is "noise" from database SQL statements.
