Free annoying software for linux

autologin-applet is an autologin on captive html portal : Fon, AT&T, ...

When using public wifi from a vendor or a community you always have to login on a webpage. This can be really annoying to launch a web browser everytime you need your mail application or your favorite IRC.

This applet take care of the authentification process for you, without the need for a web browser.

Currently only the Fon network is supported but adding support for another network is really easy, email me and Ill add it.

LogMiner is a powerful log analysis package for Apache (or other web servers using the combined log format).
LogMiner can extract and present several reports, about visits, hits, traffic, requests, navigation paths, browsers and OSs used by users and so on.
Data is stored in a PostgreSQL database, using a schema which has been optimized to reduce redundancy at minimum.
LogMiner has been inspired by the popular Webalizer package, but it differs in certain core points:
data is stored in a DBMS backend and reports are generated on-the-fly, while Webalizer generates plain html files. A DBMS allows to extract and aggregate data in many ways, whenever you need. A drawback is that you wont have the processing speed of Webalizer when parsing log files.
Webalizer only indexes the last 12 months of data: previous reports are still on disk, but arent accessible from any link. This is the most annoying thing of Webalizer, in my opinion: Im sick of having hundreds of unused files around
LogMiner allows to navigate to previous months easily.
Webalizer reports are hardcoded in the program. LogMiner implements reports in a more extensible way. Each report is in fact a simple PHP class, usually supported by a PL/pgSQL function (although youre free to insert your SQL queries in the PHP code if you like).
LogMiner offers more reports than Webalizer: for instance, the OS charts and the navigation graphs.
Depending on your needs, you might prefer LogMiner over Webalizer, especially if you like having a central SQL repository for your data which enables you to extract the data you need at any time, or to add a kind of report which wasnt planned from the start and apply it to older data.
If you dont have a PostgreSQL database or you expect to process huge log files in seconds, go for Webalizer.
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for libpqxx 2.6.9.
- SQL errors are now logged and dont interrupt the parsing of log files.

miniPager3D is a clone (copy) of the KDE applet minipager, but able to use use 3D Desktop to change the virtual desktop.
Of course you need to have 3ddesktop installed on your system.
miniPager3D project let you choose 3d Desktop preferences from an additionnal context menu.
Installation:
download the sources
extract it
cd into the created repository minipager3d
type the following command : ./configure --prefix=`kde-config` && make && su -c make install
to load the kapplet right click in the kicker panel-> add -> applet -> minipager3d.
Tested on mdk10.1/10.2b3 with kde-3.2.3/3.3.2 and 3ddesktop-0.2.7-1/ 0.2.8.

Enhancements:
- add a version for kde3.3.2
- fixed small bug : zoomout is now read from config file

Spin is a transparent threading solution for non-freezing Swing applications.

This annoying behaviour is experienced by users every time the application performs extensive calculations or blocks for network or disk I/O.
Spin offers a new approach for solving this problem.
It offers transparent thread handling with minimal impact on your application code.
Enhancements:
- Now built with Maven.

AxKit2::Plugin is a base class for all plugins.

An AxKit2 plugin allows you to hook into various parts of processing requests and modify the behaviour of that request. This class is the base class for all plugins and this document covers both the details of the base class, and the available hooks and the consequences the return codes for those hooks have.

See "AVAILABLE HOOKS" for the hooks, and "API" for the API provided to all plugins.
WRITING A SIMPLE PLUGIN ^

Most plugin authors should start at AxKit2::Docs::WritingPlugins. However a hook consists of the following things:

An init() method for initialising state.
A register() method for registering hooks outside of the default naming scheme.
A number of conf_*() methods to define configuration directives.
A number of hook_*() methods to implement your hooks.
Any number of helper methods.

Although plugins are classes, they do not need the usual perl extra stuff such as a package declaration, a constructor (such as new()), nor do they require the annoying "1;" at the end of the file. AxKit2 adds those things in for you.
All plugins are simple blessed hashes.

Fenice is a multimedia streaming server compliant with the IETFs standards for real-time streaming of multimedia contents over Internet. Fenice implements RTSP - Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RFC2326) and RTP/RTCP - Real-Time Transport Protocol/RTP Control Protocol (RFC3550) supporting the RTP Profile for Audio and Video Conferences with Minimal Control (RFC3551).
Fenice supports the following encoding standards:
Audio
- MP3 (MPEG-1 Layer III) (RFC3119)
- OGG/Vorbis (work in progress)
Video
- MPEG-1/2 (RFC2250)
- Preliminary support for MPEG-4 (RFC3016, RFC3640)
- OGG/Theora (work in progress)
The main characteristic of Fenice is that it is adaptable to the state of the network gotten through the technique of the dynamic coding change.
Fenice is also able to manage live streaming sessions using external real-time audio/video encoders such as lame, ffmpeg or mjpeg-tools, even capturing audio and video streams from live-recording remote hosts (with Felice - Fenice Live CEaseless).
Fenice is the worlds first streaming server supporting Creative Commons licensing meta-data for audio/video streaming.
Enhancements:
- Log support via file or sysconfig was added.
- MPEG-4 support was finished, and works best for stored contents.
- The annoying 100% CPU bug was fixed.
- Fenice should now run smoothly and reliably in almost every condition.
- Various bugs were fixed.
- Fenice is GCC4 compatible.
