Live PageRank is an extension which will display PageRank for active URL.

Live PR gives you a movable (DnD) widget which shows you the Google Pagerank of the current URL.

Passive Cache is a Firefox extension that retrieves a stripped version of the cached Google page for a URL, as well as a listing of Waybacks archived pages for the URL. In essence, it allows the viewing of a page, or site, without any active connections being made to the site.

ASK is a spam killer. This program (Active Spam Killer, or ASK for short) takes an "Active" approach in solving the problem: Everytime an email is received, a message is sent back to the sender asking for confirmation. If that sender does not confirm the message, it remains queued for delivery. If the sender confirms, the message is delivered and removed from the queue. The "confirmed" senders will be added to your "whitelist" and will never be sent another confirmation. Messages from these emails will always be delivered immediately . You can also specify an "ignorelist" for emails that should be always ignored and a "blacklist" that will cause a nastygram to be sent back to the sender everytime an email is received.

There are many traditional approaches to avoiding spam. The most common approach is based on "content-filtering": a program that attempts to classify incoming mails based on their content. This works partially, but in reality, its somewhat easy to find ways to avoid it.

ASK takes advantage of the fact that most spammers use invalid or fake "From:" address in their messages. When a new message arrives and the sender is unknown, ASK sends a "confirmation message" back, informing the sender that the original message has been queued, pending confirmation. When the sender confirms (a simple reply), ASK delivers the original message and adds the sender to a "whitelist". Further messages from this sender will be immediately delivered. It is also possible to ignore messages based on specific criteria, like senders email, subject and so on.

The goal of ASK is to block Spam mail before it is delivered to your mailbox. As we know, filtering alone is not effective since many times Spam mail contains no detectable elements.

ASK should be invoked from .forward (or .procmailrc if you are using procmail). The incoming message should be piped to ASK, which will be in charge of doing the actual delivery.

When ASK receives an email, if first checks the email address against your "ignorelist". If the address is listed there, its ignored completely. Then, the message is checked against your "blacklist". If its there, a nastygram is sent back to the sender with something like "Please stop sending me emails" in the Subject line.

The real fun happens when an email comes from an unknown user (i.e, someone not in any of your lists). In this case, ASK calculates the MD5 checksum of the message + a secret MD5 key (configured during installation time). This number is sent as part of a "confirmation message" back to the user. If the user replies to it, the confirmation number (in the subject) is recognized, the message is dequeued and delivered. If the user does not reply, the message remains queued until its removed.

The program has some intelligence to deal with specific cases. For instance, if a mail is sent to a non-existing user, the error message from mailer-daemon is ignored. This avoids seeing lots of "invalid user" messages in your inbox.

Another interesting "twist" is that messages coming from your own email address are never trusted. If the spammer knows your address he could easily fake your own address as the From: line. Messages coming from you will be identified by a "mailkey", a piece of string you always put on your message by default (maybe a piece of your own signature). Note that this has the added side-effect of allowing any messages coming in reply to a message you sent to someone (as long as that person keeps your "mailkey" in its quoted reply, a practice common these days).

The program never deletes any messages. For instance, if you send yourself a message without your mailkey (a possible Spam), it will be saved in a "Junk" mailfolder (you can specify this folder during the configuration).

PHP Active Code Library (ACL) is a PHP 5 class used to store and call PHP files that are stored in a database.

The files are stored in a plain text field and not a binary field. PHP ACL also takes care of include/require calls.

If a file includes another file stored in the database, PHP ACL takes care of getting, generating, and including that file.

Jacman project is a frontend for pacman software management software that comes with the equally excellent ArchLinux. Hopefully the "J" makes it obvious that this is a Java application.
Archs philosophy is to keep things simple and to keep the user in control. Generally, GUI based configuration tools were deemed "anti-Arch" as they tended to contradict the philosophy by concealing functionality.
Whilst developing Jacman, it has been a design goal to not break the philosophy, but inevitably it does. Whilst Jacman is only a front-end to pacman, it doesnt provide access to all of pacmans functionality.
However, there was a reason for that! I wanted Jacman to provide a visual window for only a subset of common tasks: installing, removing, updating and re-syncing. Some people may like this, as it allows people to quickly explore which packages are available.
Main features:
- installing new packages.
- updating installed packages.
- removing unwanted packages.
- rolling back packages to a previously installed version.

Active Objects is an implementation of the Active Object concept based on the boost::thread, boost::bind, and boost::function libraries.
The point of the library is to make taking advantage of multiprocessor machines as easy as possible. The library provides two types of functionality. The first is the ability to execute a function in a separate thread and automatically synchronize with the thread when the return value is needed.
The second is the ability to easily create a message cue for any existing class, and have that class process its messages asynchronously.
Enhancements:
- Minor code cleanup and code documentation updates.
