Free band software for linux

Band Saw is a syslog monitoring program for the GNOME desktop. Band Saw project allows the user to setup filters that define which messages should generate alerts.

Combined with syslogs remote logging functionality it provides a scalable and easily deployed monitoring solution.

How does it work?

Band Saw is really quite simple; it monitors messages that are fed to it from a suitably configured syslog server, looking out for messages that contain text that the administrator is interested in. Any log message that matches the administrators filters will be brought to the users attention via a dialog box that pops up on screen.

Because syslog itself supports propagating messages between seperate computers, with syslog and Band Saw you can easily monitor a large number of computers for critical errors.

The Worlds Best Band Name Generator produces randomly generated band names.

The Worlds Best Band Name Generator can generate band names like "Ungratefully Swallowed" and "The Bridgeheads" and "Throwaway Deceptiveness".

The visitor can refresh the names dynamically without refreshing the page by using a small AJAX script.

The generator uses combinations of nouns, adjectives, and adverbs that lend themselves well to band name creation, so most of the names actually sound realistic.

The script is easy to install and modify.

You can download the Worlds Best Band Name Generator for FREE to add to your own web site.

If you really like the Words Best Band Name Generator, please link to this page so other people can find it.

Umbra project is a simple graphical role-playing game.

Umbra is a simple computer role-playing game, written in Python. The world is randomly-generated for new play every time, but there is an eventual goal and storyline.

It was heavily influenced by rogue-like games, Alternate Reality, console RPGs, and the works of H.P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith.

Umbra is set after a Lovecraftian apocalypse - the ancient god Mogth has risen from ages of deathlike slumber, conquered the world, thrown down civilization, and now man huddles in primitive communities, scattered and dying out. You play a band of heroes who will attempt to free humanity!

ManiacMarble3D is the ultimate marble game.

ManiacMarble3D is a remake of a well known game concept. The player has to guide a marble from the start to a target point in a 3D environment. The tricky part of the game is the constant fight against the gravity because the marble has to be moved across small platforms in the sky.

The soundtrack was performed by "the famous band Lasch".

AcidRip is a Gtk2::Perl application for ripping and encoding DVDs. It neatly wraps MPlayer and MEncoder, which I think is pretty handy, seeing as MPlayer is by far the best bit of video playing kit around for Linux.
As well as creating a simple Graphical Interface for those scared of getting down and dirty with MEncoders command line interface, It also automates the process in a number of ways:
- Parses DVD into contents tree
- Finds longest title
- Calculate video bitrate for given filesize
- Finds black bands and crops them
- Gives suggestions for improved performance
- Other stuff!
Acidrip is *NOT* an encoding program. It does not do a single bit of encoding by itself. It can not do anything complicated that MEncoder can not do, e.g. output to VCD format etc... Feature requests are always welcome but please be very sure that is within the "jurisdiction" of my program.

AudioTT is ID3 tag editor, which is FREE to use.
AudioTT supports both ID3 tags (ID3v1 and ID3v2). Editing ID3 tags by this application is very easy and saves your time, beacause it allows you to edit a heap of MP3 files at once.
This function is useful especialy for those who own a big collection of MP3s. Imagine that you have a discography of the QUEEN - it means hundreds of MP3 files. It would be silly to edit ID3 tag of each file separately. Therefore you may load the whole dicography to AudioTT, then write QUEEN to the Band item of ID3 tag and press Save/F12.
If you do so, AudioTT will write QUEEN as a Band to all files of your discography. In exactly the same way you may edit all the items of ID3 tag (Year, Album, Pictures, Official web site of the band/artist...).
AudioTT contains a panel, which shows the detailed information of MP3 files. It contains also another panel, which dynamicaly creates statistic for all your MP3s, which are in that moment loaded into AudioTT (Total time, Average time, Average bitrate, Average sampling rate...). If you are not interested in these information, you may simply hide the panels...
Pictures of jpeg, gif and other types represents a form of binary data similar to audio, video or text data. ID3 tag version 2 (ID3v2) has been proposed so it can contain any type of data. Therefore the new version of AudioTT is now able to handle pictures data. It means that AudioTT is now able to store any count of pictures into ID3 tag. Moreover you can specify a picture by selecting a type (Front cover, Band logotype, ...) and inserting an arbitrary comment.
This all is possible to do with a new tool - Pictures manager. It allows you also to export all images to external files (jpeg, png, gif), remove all images from MP3... This all can be done at one mose click! However, dont forget that adding too many images into ID3 tags might rapidly increase size of your MP3 files!
Main features:
- support of MP3 file format
- support of ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags
- support of 39 items of ID3 tag version 2
- full support of "Pictures", "Comments" ...
- ability to read, edit and save hundreds ID3 tags at once
- comprehensive MP3 details panel
- dynamic creation of MP3s statistic
- multilingual
- multi/cross platform

Fair NAT is a script for configuring NAT on dedicated Linux routers. This is the home of my linux router shaper script which allows something like fair bandwidth sharing among clients in the local network. The script is not great or anything - please dont expect the holy grail here - I just thought Id publish it because many people helped me write it and maybe someone has some use for it. I bet there are still lots of things that can be improved. Sorry about the crappy design of this page, I dont have time to put more effort in better looks.
You have a certain number of Clients (User A - User N) in your LAN which are connected by a Switch (or a Hub or BNC) to the Linux Router which is supposed to act as a gateway to the internet. The trouble now is, User B has a lot of downloads running and User C uploads stuff day and night, which leaves User A who only wants to use an interactive SSH shell in the rain, since B and C already use up all bandwidth the internet connection offers.
What we need to do is to share available bandwidth fairly among clients. In order to achieve this, I first tried several searches at Google and Freshmeat. This turned up quite a lot of results, like the Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO which is a must-read and also contains great scripts, like the Wondershaper for single users. Another great general purpose script I found was HTB.init, which doesnt do anything by default, but gives you an easy way to setup HTB queues. In case you prefer CBQ, theres a CBQ.init too. If you dont know what Im talking about, read the HOWTO above or continue reading here.
Since I never found a script that did exactly what I wanted, I decided to write my own. Its designed to be an all-I-need script, therefore it does not just setup Traffic Shaping, but Masquerading and Port Forwarding too. In short, it does everything that has to do with IPTables and Traffic Control. I use HTB (Hierarchical Token Bucket) to share bandwidth among clients (one class per client). On top of that I added a PRIO queue to prioritize interactive traffic on a per-user basis. On top of PRIO I set SFQ to treat connections fairly. In version 0.72, experimental support for IPP2P to recognize peer-to-peer traffic was added.
This is the simplified scheme for routing:
HTB class (for bandwidth sharing)
|
-- PRIO (for prioritizing interactive traffic)
|
--- Interactive: SFQ (to treat concurrent connections fairly)
--- Normal: SFQ
--- High-Traffic: SFQ
[ --- P2P: SFQ (if IPP2P support is enabled only) ]
I bet this can still be improved and Im always interested in ways to do so. In case you want another class structure, this can be done by replacing the parent_class and user_class functions in the script. See CLASS_MODE in Configuration section and the function documentation in the script for details. Feel free to send me your own functions with a short explanation, if you want me to make them available for everybody.
Heres a "real" graphic, which shows the complete qdisc/class structure on $DEV_LAN if you use the unmodified example configuration file. This graphic was created using a hacked version of Stef Coenes show.pl script and GraphViz. Click here to see it, but I warn you: its quite big. Heres a similar picture, which includes IPP2P support. Note that there are more filter rules (the blue arrows) now which put the filesharing traffic into the users prio band 4.
Main features:
- This is a variable with a space-separated list of features that should be enabled. Default is all enabled if you dont set this variable.
- PROC:
- Allow Fair NAT to change some system variables in /proc, like setting /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward to 1.
- MODULES:
- Try to load kernel modules for QoS first.
- RESET:
- Fair NAT will replace all existing iptables rules with a very basic (empty) configuration. Not healthy for firewalls. You can disable this feature to keep the original rules in place. See Firewall Support below.
- NAT:
- Allow Fair NAT to configure NAT. You could disable this if you prefer to set this up yourself / let your firewall do it.
- FORWARD:
- Allow Fair NAT to configure Port Forwarding. Same as NAT, you can disable this if you dont need it.
- QOS_DOWN:
- Shape download traffic. If you know a little bit about traffic shaping and believe that download shaping is completely useless, feel free to disable this.
- QOS_UP:
- Shaping upload traffic can be disabled also. If you disable this and QOS_DOWN also, you could use Fair NAT for setting up NAT and Port Forwarding only, although thats not really the purpose of the script ;-)
- TOS:
- Allow Fair NAT to modify the TOS (type-of-service) field of packets. Right now, Fair NAT relies on this TOS field for shaping, so using this feature is highly recommended.

Alsa-Nyser is an Real Time Audio Analyser that displays several informations about sound. These informations are:

Signals of the chanels
Phase of sound in 1D and 2D representation
Spectrum in full band
Spectrum in 1/3 octavia displaying frequency in Stereo or Mono reducted sound
Frequency of the peak signal (2 peaks frequency in stereo mode)
Stereo Meters

For the moment, each of the specifications described can be displayed by the program in real time. But I have to work (and compare) on the reality of what is displayed (calculated) by the soft considering the theory of sound analysis. There is still work on the frequency analyser and real meters level displaying (peak and mean levels).
