American Express Expense Report to QIF Converter 1.0
American Express Expense Report to QIF Converter is a utility that converts American Express expense reports into QIF. more>>
There are three main reasons:
1. American Express only offers QIF files for the last 6 months of activity whereas the expense reports go back 2 years. You can also run a report with a custom 1- to 12-month time period within 24 months of the current calendar month.
2. American Express QIF files have limited to no "categorization" whereas the expense report categorizes each transaction with a "Merchant Category" and "Subcategory".
3. American Express QIF files do not indicate which credit card in a multi-card account performed the transaction.
Main features:
- Inserts card owner and last 5 digits of the credit card in the memo field
- Reads config file for user defined rules so transactions can be automatically mapped to different accounts in your accounting software. Mapping can be based on:
- Credit card owner
- Vendor name
- AMEX "Merchant Category" and "Subcategory"
- Any combination of the above
- Sanitizes and cleans up vendor names
- Has the ability to add a prefix to all vendor names

Crash Recovery Kit for Linux 2.6.11.10
Crash Recovery Kit for Linux is a Linux distribution for system recovery. more>>
Of course your machine doesnt have to have linux installed to make use of the CRK kit. There are several uses and purposes for the CRK to be used. To name a few :
- recovery of a trashed LILO boot record. How many times does it happen that some person installs windows 98/95 after he/she installed linux? Well in that case windows 9X just overwrites the MBR record and linux wont be able to boot anymore.
- backup over the network in the form of tar.gz tarballs. Both FAT16, FAT32, ext2 and all filesystems which Linux supports in a read/write fashion can be taken care of. The strong part of the CRK is when a disk is replaced or repartitioning is being done. The CRK boots a complete mini linux with networking where all possible hardware which is inside the Linux kernel is available.
- Testing hardware of new intel based machines.
- Detecting versions and types of hardware. The Linux kernel holds a large database of hardware supported. Booting a linux kernel doesnt only resolve if the hardware is ok, it also show its specs. This can be handy if one wants to check-out an old/new PC which is for sale.
- Recovery of a misconfigured or hacked Linux system. Well that can happen. /etc/fstab can be wrong or the root password is unknown etc.
- make a tape backup of a disk which cant be booted anymore.
The CRK is based on RedHat Linux. I have always used RedHat systems, thats why. When my system needed maintenance the rescue floppy image which RedHat supplies didnt fullfill my needs.
Thats why i created the CRK. Lately i use Mandrake. How and why the CRK was created read the short history. The CRK is licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL).
Poisson Media Recovery 0.03
Poisson Media Recovery project can be used to retrieve slightly damaged files from CD-ROM media. more>>
It sequentially mounts and umounts the device, and on each mount it tries to read as many new 512 byte sectors as possible.
I was able to use this tool to save some files from old CDs.
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!
Enhancements:
Version 2008
System Requirements:Java of version 1.4 or higher<<less
gzip Recovery Toolkit 0.5
gzip Recovery Toolkit attempts to automate the recovery of data from corrupted gzip files (including tarballs) through a program more>>
99% of "corrupted" gzip archives are caused by transferring the file via FTP in ASCII mode instead of binary mode. Please re-transfer the file in the correct mode first before attempting to recover from a file you believe is corrupted.
This program is provided AS IS with absolutely NO WARRANTY. It is not guaranteed to recover anything from your file, nor is what it does recover guaranteed to be good data. The bigger your file, the more likely that something will be extracted from it. Also keep in mind that this program gets faked out and is likely to "recover" some bad data. Everything should be manually verified.
Usage:
Run gzrecover on a corrupted .gz file. Anything that can be read from the file will be written to a file with the same name, but with a .recovered appended (any .gz is stripped). You can override this with the -o option.
To get a verbose readout of exactly where gzrecover is finding bad bytes, use the -v option to enable verbose mode. This will probably overflow your screen with text so best to redirect output to a file.
Once gzrecover has finished, you will need to manually verify any data recovered as it is quite likely that our output file is corrupt and has some garbage data in it. If your archive is a tarball, read on.
For tarballs, the tar program will choke because GNU tar cannot handle errors in the file format. Fortunately, GNU cpio (tested at version 2.5 or higher) handles corrupted files out of the box.
Heres an example:
$ ls *.gz
my-corrupted-backup.tar.gz
$ gzrecover my-corrupted-backup.tar.gz
$ ls *.recovered
my-corrupted-backup.tar.recovered
$ cpio -F my-corrupted-backup.tar.recovered -i -v
If you have a previous release, please note that the patches to GNU tar have been discontinued. They were only marginally successful at best and GNU cpio does what is needed out of the box and does it far better.
Enhancements:
- Documentation updates, including a man page, plus code cleanup to better enable inclusion in GNU/Linux packages and eliminate compilation warnings.
Make CD-ROM Recovery 0.9.7
Make CD-ROM Recovery is a disaster recovery CD-ROM maker. more>>
After a disaster (disk crash or system intrusion) the system can be booted from the CD-ROM and one can restore the complete system as it was (at the time mkCDrec was run) with the command /etc/recovery/start-restore.sh
Disk cloning (clone-dsk.sh script) allows one to restore a disk to another disk (the destination disk does not have to be of the same size as it calculates the partition layout itself). A thrid script, restore-fs.sh, will restore only one filesystem to a partition of your choice, and the user can choose with which filesystem the partition has to be formatted.
Linux 2.2.x, 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels are supported, and if size of the kernel is not too big a boot floppy can be made, otherwise a 2.88 Mb boot floppy will be emulated on CD-ROM.
MkCDrec supports ext2 , ext3, minix, xfs , jfs, reiserfs file systems, LVM and software RAID (multiple devices). Each file system is backed up as a compressed tar archive (including the tar log). The compress program used is the users choice (compress, gzip, bzip2, lzop,...)
But there is more: msdos, fat, vfat and ntfs mounted partitions are recognized and are saved as compressed dumps (on CD, tape, etc.)
The user has the possibility to encrypt all backups with openssl if desired (see the Config.sh configuration file for more information).
To restore your system completely just boot from the first CD-ROM made by mkCDrec and type "/etc/recovery/start-restore.sh " to restore everything from CD. Automatic Disaster Recovery and One Button Disaster Recovery are supported by mkCDrec too.
With the clone-dsk.sh script one can restore selective a disk or partitions to another free disk.
mkCDrec supports IDE (inclusive ATA), SCSI disks, hardware RAID based disks (e.g. Compaq SMART2 Disk Array), LVM and software RAID. With an El-Torito CD-ROM you can boot from an IDE or SCSI based CD-ROM drive on IA32/64, powermac and x86_64 GNU/Linux based computer systems only.

Relax and Recover 1.2
Relax and Recover (abbreviated rear) is a highly modular disaster recovery framework for GNU/Linux based systems. more>>
The disaster recovery information (and maybe the backups) can be stored via the network, local on hard disks or USB devices, DVD/CD-R, tape, etc. The result is also a bootable image that is capable of booting via PXE, DVD/CD and tape (OBDR).
Main features:
- Focus on Disaster Recovery
- Modular concept
- For Linux and other Unix-like operations systems
- No external dependancies - use only standard software supplied with the distribution
- encryption (optional) - openssl ?

American Political Science: Campaign Simulator 0.1
American Political Science: Campaign Simulator project is a statistically based political campaign simulation game. more>>
The Campaign Simulator is an attempt to statistically model and predict the outcome of an American presidential election.
Several users assume the roles of competitive candidates and inflict the repercussions of certain decisions on a GSS-based dataset.
The application is written in Java and supports all operating systems with a Java 1.5 VM.
Main features:
- Time is not the only limiting variable. In fact, time may not be the proper limit as most operations may be performed in tandem; an economic system that allows fund raising elements should be implemented.
- The current choices all utilize the same dataset algorithm to effect the populace in similar ways- this set of scripts should be broadened and deepened as they are too high level.
- The Python Architecture needs polishing- the internal IDE is not complete, and the ability to assign scripts to run at differing points in the lifetime of the application has yet to be created.
- The installer should place links on the desktops of Mac and Unix/Linux Systems.
- Some of the small features planned, such as a GUI for dialog creation, have been cut for the deadline and should be added.
