Gentium is a typeface family designed to enable the diverse ethnic groups around the world who use the Latin script to produce readable, high-quality publications.

Gentium fonts project supports a wide range of Latin-based alphabets and includes glyphs that correspond to all the Latin ranges of Unicode.

The design is intended to be highly readable, reasonably compact, and visually attractive. The additional "extended" Latin letters are designed to naturally harmonize with the traditional 26 ones. Diacritics are treated with careful thought and attention to their use.

Gentium also supports both ancient and modern Greek, including a number of alternate forms. These fonts were originally the product of two years of research and study by the designer at the University of Reading, England, as part of an MA program in Typeface Design.

SIL International has now embraced the Gentium project, and plans to continue development. Expansion of the glyph set to include more extended Latin glyphs, archaic Greek symbols, and full Cyrillic script support is the next step. Work on this has already begun, but the results will not be available for a few months. Addition of bold and bold italic faces will follow.

Gentium is freely available and may be used by anyone at no cost. It is now released under the SIL Open Font License, a free and open source license that permits modification and redistribution.

Our hope is that it will stimulate literature production and elevate extended Latin alphabets to greater parity with the basic Latin alphabet. We also hope it will encourage other type designers to appreciate and support those fascinating and beautiful extra letters.

LockFile::Simple is a simple file locking scheme.

SYNOPSIS

use LockFile::Simple qw(lock trylock unlock);

# Simple locking using default settings
lock("/some/file") || die "cant lock /some/filen";
warn "already lockedn" unless trylock("/some/file");
unlock("/some/file");

# Build customized locking manager object
$lockmgr = LockFile::Simple->make(-format => %f.lck,
-max => 20, -delay => 1, -nfs => 1);

$lockmgr->lock("/some/file") || die "cant lock /some/filen";
$lockmgr->trylock("/some/file");
$lockmgr->unlock("/some/file");

$lockmgr->configure(-nfs => 0);

# Using lock handles
my $lock = $lockmgr->lock("/some/file");
$lock->release;

This simple locking scheme is not based on any file locking system calls such as flock() or lockf() but rather relies on basic file system primitives and properties, such as the atomicity of the write() system call. It is not meant to be exempt from all race conditions, especially over NFS. The algorithm used is described below in the ALGORITHM section.

It is possible to customize the locking operations to attempt locking once every 5 seconds for 30 times, or delete stale locks (files that are deemed too ancient) before attempting the locking.

Eventum provides a user-friendly and flexible issue/bug tracking system.

Eventum is a user-friendly and flexible issue tracking system that can be used by a support department to track incoming technical support requests or by a software development team to quickly organize tasks and bugs.

Eventum is used by the MySQL AB Technical Support team, and has allowed them to dramatically improve response times.

Kalendae project is a tool to convert dates between the modern western calendar (entered using a localized GUI) and the ancient Roman one expressed in Latin.

Leap years are taken into account starting from 10 B.C.

Nevertheless, you have equally the oportunity to rule your destiny. To become from a peaceful trader, a fearsome captain.

get_iat and iat_cmp are two small programs to extract and to very basic analysis of packet inter arrival times (unfortunaly often wrongly called inter packet gaps) in a pcap network trace.

- get_iat just reads one pcap files an outputs the inter arrival time and the time
difference between this packet and the first one for all packets

- iat_cmp compares several pcap files and checks how much their inter arrival
times differ. This "compare" is done by sorting the inter arrival time
difference into buckets. Currently the buckets must be configured by hand
in the source code.

BEWARE: these programs have not been tested very exensively. So expect
crashes.
