Free air supply software for linux

Quick and Dirty Sync tries to make two directories the same by comparing files sizes and copying new or changed files across in both directions, meaning you dont need to supply a "from" and "to" directory. Quick and Dirty Sync project works for local and (some) FTP directories.

Your mileage may vary, and all your files may be destroyed. You have been warned.

CarWorld is a small driving simulator/demo I use to test various things of interest. It was mostly developed when I was a student. Car World is released with the full source code under the GNU General Public License.

The rendering

The two top pictures represent an slightly older version (v0.072) but graphically similar of CarWorld as it was presented for my project. v0.072 includes an OpenGL based renderer allowing
file input and displaying of texture mapped models with interpolated surface normals, real time projected shadows (as seen in the dino lights example).
background object
on screen command line to modify visual and simulation parameters

The mechanics

based on classical mechanics
uses standard metrics (Newtons, meters, seconds...)
there are no constraints on the environment surface
variable length time increments and variable increment number means "CarWorld time" is not dependent on frame rate.
adjustable simulation specs include: metrics, mass, moment of inertia around rotation axis, suspension pre load, compression damping, rebound damping, engine torque output, air friction, surface friction.

SoundPanel is a cart wall utility targeted for use in professional Live Performance and Broadcast environments.
Its basic paradigm is a collection of button "panels" (collectively referred to as an "array") with each button tied to a particular audio cut either residing on the host computer or available via a local area network.
Swift access to this audio is possible by either touching the appropriate button or performing a search of the array using SoundPanels built-in search feature. Additionally, SoundPanel offers several features to ease the task of creation and maintenance of audio cuts.
Main features:
- Optimized for use in busy on-air environments. Any audio in the entire array can be located and put "on air" within a few seconds.
- Designed for efficient on-air use, with large, touchscreen-friendly controls.
- Dynamically-sized panel arrays allow for indexing and access of thousands of cuts, limited only by the physical capacity of the underlying filesystems.
- Works with the full line of high-quality audio adapters made by AudioScience Inc.
- Built-in recorder allows audio to be recorded directly into an array without the need for an outboard application.
- Integrated CD ripper allows CD tracks to be ripped directly into an array.
- Built-in hooks allow seamless integration with external audio editing applications.
- All application configuration is done by means of point-and-click interfaces - no arcane configuration files to edit!
- Completely free and open - no dongles, unlock codes, software keys or other arbitrary limitations.

IO::Multiplex is a Perl module that can manage IO on many file handles.

SYNOPSIS

use IO::Multiplex;

my $mux = new IO::Multiplex;
$mux->add($fh1);
$mux->add(*FH2);
$mux->set_callback_object(...);
$mux->listen($server_socket);
$mux->loop;

sub mux_input {
...
}
IO::Multiplex is designed to take the effort out of managing multiple file handles. It is essentially a really fancy front end to the select system call. In addition to maintaining the select loop, it buffers all input and output to/from the file handles. It can also accept incoming connections on one or more listen sockets.

It is object oriented in design, and will notify you of significant events by calling methods on an object that you supply. If you are not using objects, you can simply supply __PACKAGE__ instead of an object reference.

You may have one callback object registered for each file handle, or one global one. Possibly both -- the per-file handle callback object will be used instead of the global one.

Each file handle may also have a timer associated with it. A callback function is called when the timer expires.

wmWeatherApp is nothing more than a very simplistic weather dock app. There are several quite nice dockapps for this purpose, however they were all far too bloated for my needs therefore I created a very minimalist one.

This application simply grabs the image of the current weather (using your zipcode which you supply as a parameter to wmWeatherApp) and displays it as the background image of the dockapp.

You can left click on the dockapp and have it launch a web browser (which you can configure by setting the environment variable BROWSER) and show you the weather.

Quick usage instructions:

./configure && make && make install
wmWeatherApp -zip 61832 -delay 300

-zip specifies your zipcode
-delay specifies the update interval in seconds. 300 seconds is what I currently use.

The weather image is pulled from www.wunderground.com (which is the most reliable weather provider I have found). License is GPL.

"Circus Linux!" is a clone of the Atari 2600 game "Circus Atari," produced by Atari, Inc. (which is itself a clone of an earlier arcade game named, simply "Circus").
The object is to move a teeter-totter back and forth across the screen to bounce clowns up into the air. When they reach the top, they pop rows of balloons and then fall back down.
(The gameplay is similar to the classics "Breakout" and "Arkanoid.")
Main features:
Game Modes:
- One- and two-players
- Two-player cooperative
- Barriers mode
- Bouncy balloons mode
- Clear-all mode
Graphics:
- Colorful, cartoon-like images
- Animated objects and background
- Nearly 70 objects on screen at once
- Fullscreen mode
- Random circus acts in the background
Sound:
- Upbeat circus-style music
- Many cartoonish sound effects
- Sound and music volume controls
Controls:
- Mouse
- Keyboard
- Joystick
- Real Atari 2600 Paddle controllers!

PircBot is a Java framework for writing IRC bots quickly and easily. PircBot has many features like an event-driven architecture to handle common IRC events, flood protection, DCC resuming support, ident support, and more. Its comprehensive logfile format is suitable for use with pisg to generate channel statistics. Full documentation is included, and this page contains a 5-minute step-by-step guide to making your first IRC bot.
PircBot allows you to perform a variety of fun tasks on IRC, but it is also used for more serious applications by the US Navy, the US Air Force, the CIA (unconfirmed), several national defence agencies, and inside the Azureus bittorrent client. But dont let that put you off - its still easy to use!
Enhancements:
- This release adds a new method to make it easy to identify with NickServ.
- This is useful on networks such as Freenode where a client must identify itself before it is able to send private messages.

Those Gmail text advertisements can take up a lot of space and are not blocked by other addons. This add-on can supply users with more screen space for your messages.

Requirements: Mozilla Firefox

Enhancements: Bug fix: Hiding menu items is now working properly when Offline Gmail was enabled.
