VISCA Camera Control Library is a library for controlling a VISCA(tm) compliant camera through the RS232 port of your PC. VISCA, on its side, is a protocol developed by Sony so that a lot of machine vision cameras from Sony are compliant with VISCA.

Typical cameras include the FCB-IX47 family of camera block for OEMs. Note that other devices, such as VCRs, can be controlled. Drop me a line f you know other functions that you would like to be implemented and for which you have the opcodes.

libVISCA has been tested only with an FCB-IX47P. This does not mean that its the only camera compatible, but some others might require addition/changes. In the current version, libVISCA has interface functions for every command/inquiry of the specifications. This includes zoom, focus, digital effects, white balance, and much more.

Every function composes an RS232 message, up to 12 bytes long. The message is then sent to a function that will actually send the 12 bytes after appending a header and footer. The function also waits for answers from the camera, such as ACK and completion messages. If its an inquiry, the reply is stored in the input buffer of the interface structure.

Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. Ecasound project can be used for simple tasks like audio playback, recording, and format conversions, as well as for multitrack effect processing, mixing, recording and signal recycling.
It supports a wide range of audio inputs, outputs, and effect algorithms. Effects and audio objects can be combined in various ways, and their parameters can be controlled by operator objects like oscillators and MIDI-CCs. A versatile console-mode user interface is included in the package.
Enhancements:
- The ability to specify a custom configuration resource file has been added.
- Several long-standing bugs have been fixed.
- The licensing of rubyecasound has been changed.

Open Steelball project is a futuristic soccer game.

Open Steelball is an SDL game, which is similar to "SpeedBall" on the Amiga. It is a futuristic soccer game for one or two where 5 players can be controlled per side.

The ball can be passed, shot, lobbed, and other players can be tackled.

Goalkeepers are controlled automatically.

This is the First Alpha Release.

Upgrade-oldest selectively upgrades a Debian system by upgrading the packages with the oldest and most significant version numbers. It can be limited to certain sections, and the level of version differece necessary to trigger an upgrade can be controlled.

It is a simple Python script, but it is very powerful.

Hegons project is a HEterogeneous Grooming Optical Network Simulator that supports mixed routing and wavelength assignment algorithms and optional wavelength conversions capability on each node.
The goal of Hegons is the evaluation of different dynamic routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) algorithms in WDM optical networks in terms of several measures such as: call blocking probability, fairness (variance in blocking probability), call setup time, etc.
Main features:
- Supports practically unlimited number of nodes in a network. (2 billion)
- Supports practically unlimited number of wavelengths per link. (2 billion)
- Typically, can simulate more than 18 million calls per minute on a 2Ghz PC.
- Currently Supports 3 types of nodes (OXCs):
1. Non Grooming node
2. Single-Hop Grooming node
3. Multi-Hop Full Grooming node
Each node can optionally be a wavelength converter node.
4 wavelength assignments (WA) algorithms:
1. First Fit (FF)
2. Random (R)
3. Most Used (MU)
4. Least Used (LU)
- Fixed Alternate Routing (FAR) is supported with 4 different ordering algorithms: FF, R, MU, LU
- Shortest Path Routing (SPR) can be supported by using -mp:1 option.
- Call arrivals follow the poisson distribution.
- Can run multiple batches (separate simulation runs) automatically and find the average results of all batches.
- Three different methods to calculate the blocking probability. Can be controlled by modifying the BP_METHOD compiler directive.
- Average number of attempts for each call can be limited using the -at option.
- Maximum and minimum path length can be controlled.
- Maximum number of paths generated for each source to destination pair can be controlled
- Network description can be loaded from a file or can be feeded interactively by the user.
- Results can be saved to CSV (Comma Separated Values) files for easy batch running. CSV files can be then viewed in Excel and charts can be generated instantly.
Enhancements:
- A new "Multi-hop Partial Grooming" node type was added.
- A partial grooming node can now have multiple G-fabrics.
- This is a new concept that has never been discussed in the literature.
- The RWA method chosen will be applied internally in the nodes between W and G fabrics as well as externally.
- -px and -pn options were added for controlling the max/min number of times G-fabric switchings are done per call.
- Other minor fixes and changes were made.
