Pngcrush 1.7.0
Pngcrush 1.7.0 is yet another extremely useful utility for everyone. It is actually an optimizer for PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files more>>
Pngcrush 1.7.0 is yet another extremely useful utility for everyone. It is actually an optimizer for PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files. It can be run from a commandline in an MSDOS window, or from a UNIX or LINUX commandline.
Its main purpose is to reduce the size of the PNG IDAT datastream by trying various compression levels an PNG filter methods. It also can be used to remove unwanted ancillary chunks, or to add certain chunks including gAMA, tRNS, iCCP, and textual chunks.
Please note that when statically linked to the supplied zlib code, this script is believed to be immune to the zlib-1.1.3 "double-free" bug, since by default it detects and rejects any "double-free" attempt. It merely generates a "Decompression Error" message and rejects the file.
Enhancements: Jul 18 2009
- Save (but do not recompress) APNG chunks if the output file has the ".apng" extension and the color_type and bit_depth are not changed.
Simple PHP Calendar 1.11
Simple PHP Calendar is a a simple, extensible PHP calendar class. more>>
A simple example
After downloading the class and including it in your PHP script, youre ready to start using it. The constructor requires two paramets, a year and month. The following code produces a very plain looking calendar.
1 require_once( class.Calendar.php );
2 $cal = new Calendar (2004, 3 );
3 echo "".$cal->getFullMonthName()."";
4 echo $cal->display();
Customizing the display
You can use two methods to change how the calendar is displayed. Use setTableWidth to define how wide to make the table, in pixels or as a percentage of the screen. Use setDayNameFormat to change how weekdays are displayed in the header row using strftime formats.
1 require_once(class.Calendar.php);
2 $calendar = new Calendar (2004, 4);
3 $calendar->setTableWidth(50%);
4 $calendar->setDayNameFormat(%A);
5 echo "".$calendar->getBriefMonthName().";
6 echo $calendar->display();
Final Example
You can use CSS selectors to control the formatting of all aspects of the calendar, including adding borders and how empty boxes display. Lets wrap our talbe in a div named calendar and use the following styles.
/* overall table */
#calendar table {
border:1px solid #fff;
padding: 0;
margin:20px;
}
/* the day headers across the top */
#calendar th {
background: #565;
color: #fff;
margin: 3px;
padding: 2px 5px;
}
/* how days this month will look, make dates appear in top right */
#calendar td {
background: #eee;
color: #000;
padding: 2px;
margin:0;
height:60px;
text-align:right;
vertical-align:top;
border:1px solid #fff;
}
/* these are the days falling outside this month */
#calendar td.notInMonth {
background: #999;
}
Enhancements:
- The documentation has been polished.
- An example has been added for extending the class to customize how a calendar grid will display.

MM3-WebAssistant Private 2009
Archives visited web pages with your browser to be used on- and offline. Offline each page is available with its original URL. There is no difference between surfing in the internet or archive. You can even use your bookmarks offline. Efficient use of the archive by marking and highlighting words. This proxy offline browser allows mobile users to access internet information when they dont have internet access. An ideal addition to every browser! more>>
MM3-WebAssistant Private - The offline browser is a personal proxy server sitting behind your regular browser (Firefox, IE, Safari, Opera - whatever!), silently and speedily handling all the network traffic. Unlike most offline browsers with this concept, you dont have to specifically tell WebAssistant to capture a website - it remembers everything you see, automatically adding new pages to the cache. WebAssistant updates your cached pages (in the background) so youve always got the latest version to hand. Theres no difference between surfing the web and surfing your archive; you can even use your bookmarks or search your pages offline when you dont have a network connection.
Your Benefits:
Work offline (train, plane, beach - wherever you like) without worrying that you have the info you need. Reduces the pressure of knowing what to save, and the necessity for repeating browsing sessions looking for something that was missed.
Incorporate the web into presentations or talks where you dont have internet access. You can sure youll always have the page you need with WebAssistant.
Mobile users have the flexibility of accessing information from the web without having to worry about expensive access points. Shun overpriced wifi access ports - or at least only pay for what you really need.
Important Features:
Automatically archive all pages visited.
Accelerates in the web online browsing or updates the archive.
No difference between on- and offline browsing.
Links to resources of cache archives are marked for quick navigation.
Compare HTML pages from internet and archive. The changes are highlighted.
Browse and interactive navigation in the original hierarchy of downloaded pages.
Burn a site (or many sites) to CD for backup or archive.
Supports the protocols HTTP and FTP.
Supplied with a detailed manual, a simple and completely comprehensive installation and deinstallation.
The reader is an ideal addition to every browser!
