Free available jobs in my area software for linux

Job Costing Software project is the first step to improving profitablity on your projects. A web-based job costing product makes it easy to view or update your job costs quickly.
View your project cost status in real time to make more accurate decisions. Export your costs to an excel spreadsheet for reporting or printing.
Two user levels allow your suppliers to enter costs directly without the ability to edit other costs. Improve your project decision making with free job costing software.
Everybody knows how important it is to create an accurate estimate of a jobs total costs. Unfortunately, most project managers are so busy they dont have time to gather the information needed to accurately calculate costs as the job progresses.
Job costing software makes the cost projections for you, freeing up your time to better manage the project.
Enhancements:
- This release fixed a few bugs in the database library files.

Computation Job Management (jobman in short) is a program that calls executables according to a given program flow. Each executable is run in a separate process. It is useful when a project needs to carry out a series of calculations that are performed by software written in different languages or supplied by third parties, but invoking individual programs manually is error prone and hard to manage.
The various individual programs dont communicate with each other except via persistent storage. This is especially the case for some scientific computing, quantitative finance, and prototyped programming.
Enhancements:
- A job can output a status string indicating to skip other sibling jobs.
- Fixed a number of bugs.
- Mark the program in beta status as it has been used to manage jobs completed in days.

AuctionGallery is a terminal script that creates picture galleries for the purpose of putting them into auctions like eBay, Yahoo Auctions, etc. It can also be used automatically generate HTML templates for auction description.
It is aimed at powersellers who have hundreds of products listed every day and need an efficient way of generating galleries and organizing pictures in a coherent directory structure.
I created AuctionGallery because I needed simple software to quickly create picture galleries for the purpose of putting them into auctions. There are many other similar programs available but none did the job.
Main features:
- Automatically organize picture galleries into an easy-to navigate directory structure.
- Upload pictures to an FTP site
- Resize images and create thumbnails
- Support for flexible templates
Installation:
Just extract the tar file into your home directory. Add the path to gallery executable to PATH.
export PATH=foobar:$PATH
Edit gallery.conf and create templates. 3 sample templates are included.
Usage:
Navigate to the directory where pictures are located. Type "gallery" in terminal. You can also specify a template to speed things up, like so: "gallery foobar". Hopefully gallery executable will be in your path. It will list available templates and their descriptions.
Type the name of template to use. Type the name of the folder that will contain the pictures. Give meaningfull names so that later the pictures will be easy to find. For example if the item being sold is a Rolex Date Just Watch, give this name: RolexDateJustWatch. Try not to put numbers at the end as it will look confusing.
If everything is OK, pictures will be copied to the images_root directory, renamed, resized, thumbnailed, uploaded to an FTP site and gallery.html will be created in the current directory. All pictures in current directory will be moved to a directory "backup".
Please keep in mind that this program is written in Bash script so it is error prone. I did extensive error checking but its impossible to check everything and if something goes wrong the program may spit out something bogus.
Enhancements:
- A new command-line option -n item name was added.
- A links directory containing useful symlinks was added.
- The delete_originals option was added.
- A bug in which files get overwritten and duplicated during rename was fixed.
- Error checking of configuration options was improved.
- All convert and rename work is done in a temporary directory to avoid possible conflicts.
- Permission problems in the install script were fixed.
- The user config file permissions were made chmod 600 to hide passwords.
- Config file searching when using the -c option was improved.
- The sample configuration file was revised.

Wallpaper Tray is a wallpaper utility that sits on the GNOME panel.

The project gives you a random wallpaper from a chosen directory at logon, on a timer, and allows you to select a new wallpaper at random from its menu.

UPDATE: I have had reports from users on Ubuntu that Wallpaper Tray is broken, something about the config dialog not appearing. It works fine on FC5. It also works on FC6. I suspect that the Ubuntu package needs rebuilding, hopefully this will happen for 0.5.3.

From here on in, I wont be touch packages, I will support the Autopackage project, which is designed to support the distribution of non core programs like mine.
he Applet lets you add directories, wallpapers are then randomly selected at login or at a given interval. You can also search your wallpaper collection, and delete wallpapers you dont like anymore.

Wallpaper Tray, as the name suggests, used to be live in the Notification Area. The Notification Area was never really meant for programs such as this, so the latest release uses the Gnome Panel. The last of 0.4.x series is still available however, for those that would rather stick with this way of working.

Content Area Focus is an extension used to solve the content area focus loss.

Target audience: those who are mostly using the keyboard to navigate around and switch between tabs; frequently they encounter situations in which the content area doesnt have focus.

Method: just giving focus to the content area for any "regular" keystrokes made when the main-window is in focus.

Local Area Security is a research group focused on information security related subjects. We are most known for L.A.S. Linux. Our live-CD security toolkit.

Local Area Security is a project that was started in 2002 to research information security related topics. During that time there was no real live-CD toolkit focused on information security.

So Jascha, the project founder built one from a stripped down version of Knoppix called Model-K. Both of which were built from Debian Linux.

Up until version 0.4 L.A.S. Linux was command line only. Which made it limited to some of the tools it could contain since many require a GUI. Or at least for many it is preferable to have one. So FluxBox was added as the desktop since it is light weight and very feature filled.

It was during this time that Jascha came up with the idea of keeping the size of L.A.S. as small as possible, which lead to a target maximum size of 180MBs. The size of the original mini-CDs that were available at the time. This forced the selection of tools and features to be weighed heavily since unlike other live-CDs that throw in everything including the kitchen sink. L.A.S. was designed from the ground up to be a tool not a all-inclusive grab bag of applications.

As well as many advances for live-CDs came about, such as to-ram that allows booting a live-CD into the physical RAM of a computer. Which by chance L.A.S. was perfectly cut out for. With as little as 256MB of RAM people could boot L.A.S. and then free up their CD-ROMs for burring etc.

For forensics this was a big plus, along with many other uses. Plus L.A.S. ran very fast in RAM which helped with running Nessus, Nmap, or other tools. When compared to full size (700MB) CDs which would require 1GB of RAM to use the to-ram option, it was really no contest.

Wide Area Link Emulator enables you to set and test various parameters of a WAN access link (also known as a bottleneck link) before testing on a fully-functional network.

Any ISP has a high bandwidth LAN (of the order of tens of Mbps, e.g. Ethernet) and a WAN access link with relatively low speeds (of the order of a few Kbps to a few Mbps). To be able to evaluate the ISPs performance, actual tests will have to be conducted on a live, fully functional network. This would imply enabling certain features in communication equipment which could be detrimental to the proper functioning of a commissioned network. To address such a problem of being able to characterize/quantify the network operation in terms of its performance with respect to various parameters, a test-bed emulating the ISPs connectivity to the Internet would be an ideal solution.

An important factor in setting up such a test-bed, is emulating the WAN Access Link. Using complex hardware is costly. Such a link can however be easily implemented by emulating the scenario on popular physical technology such as Ethernet. By changing the TCP/IP stack on a Personal Computer, the rate at which packets are injected into the network can be controlled and other necessary features can easily be added.

WALE was implemented in 2 phases and the first version can emulated bandwidths up to 8Mbps and uses FIFO queues with drop-tail.

WALE v2 can emulate bandwidths of up to 80Mbps(a 10-fold improvement over version 1) due to the stripped down version of Micro-second resolution timer being used in the Linux kernel. WALE also implements differentiated services are recommended by IETF. A hash-based packet classifier is used to classify packets into one of 3 queues (Expedited Forwarding, Assured Forwarding and Best Effort). A simple priority scheduling has been implemented between the queues.

Version 2 has been implemented in the Generic Device Layer of the Linux Kernel. The kernel version is 2.2.19. WALE2 kernel patch can be downloaded here. An ncurses based front end has been implemented for setting and viewing various parameters of the bottleneck link.

Joblist is a MySQL based PHP Webapplication for managing jobs. Jobs are categorized by different priorities.
Everybody with access is able to insert and update team members and jobs. Every job has a deadline and can be marked as done.
Feel free to download and use it.
Enhancements:
- A "Show User" field description was added.
- The font size was reduced.
