Free blobs software for linux

wmblob shows some blobs moving around. wmblob does nothing useful, its just a toy.

Ill be honest with you. the truth is: wmblob is a totally useless program. But unlike other totally useless programs (I wont name them here, because theyre made by an enormous and rich company), it looks good and shows funny moving `blobs. Im sure youll like it.

Its a nice dockapp for WindowMaker (see `www.windowmaker.org), but its probably going to run just as well with any other window manager.

Ploppy is a WordPress plugin for describing the state of your bowel movements using the Bristol Stool Scale.

For example: Stools: Type 4 - Like a sausage or snake, smooth and soft

The complete Bristol Stool Scale is as follows:

0 Nothing (constipated)
1 Separate hard lumps, like nuts (hard to pass)
2 Sausage-shaped, but lumpy
3 Like a sausage but with cracks on its surface
4 Like a sausage or snake, smooth and soft

wfb2sql is a tool wirtten in Perl that converts the CIA World Factbook into an SQL database.
It is a Perl script that extracts information from the CIA World Factbook and creates SQL statements for IBM DB/2, PostgreSQL, or MySQL.
This data builds a perfect database for learning and teaching SQL.
Main features:
- wfb2sql can extract the following information from the "CIA World Factbook":
- Country information (name, background, capital, area, coastline)
- Population information (birth rate, death rate, age structure, labour force, population, population growth)
- Communication data (number of mainlines in use, cellphones, internet users, internet service providers)
- Dependent countries
- Organization memberships
- Border countries
- Maps and small or large flag images (as BLOBs)
- wfb2sql is able to create SQL-statements for the following databases:
- IBM DB/2
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- More features:
- Outputs schema data and/or INSERT-statements
- All options can be set via a configuration file or command line switches
- Supports the CIA World Factbook 2003 and 2002

Valentina is cross-platform DBMS that makes it easy to switch between a local embedded database and server using the same sources. It supports disk and in-memory databases, field types from Bit to BLOB, and both a SQL92(99) and non-SQL API.
Valentina supports Relational, Extended Navigational, and Object-Relational data models. It introduces a revolutionary model abstraction "Link". It works natively in UTF-16, can accept 270 encodings, and features advanced features such as regular expressions, XML, full-text search, pictures, functions, and calculated fields. It offers triggers, views, and stored procedures.
Enhancements:
- Valentina Studio now has a Diagrams panel for database schema.
- There are new examples on the usage of Link refactorings API and SQL commands.
- There are about 40 bugfixes over the entire product line (kernel, PHP, REALbasic, Director, VCOM, and VStudio).

The unixODBC Project goals are to develop and promote unixODBC to be the definitive standard for ODBC on non MS Windows platforms. This is to include GUI support for both KDE and GNOME.
ODBC is an open specification for providing application developers with a predictable API with which to access Data Sources. Data Sources include SQL Servers and any Data Source with an ODBC Driver.
The two major advantages of choosing to code an application to the ODBC API are;
Portable Data Access Code
The ODBC API, as outlined by X/Open and ISO, is availible on all major platforms. Microsoft platforms include many enhancements to this specification; these enhancements are also supported by unixODBC
Dynamic Data Binding
This allows the user or the system administrator to easily configure an application to use any ODBC compliant data source. This is perhaps the single biggest advantage of coding an application to the ODBC API and to purchase these applications.
Dyamic binding allows the end-user to pick a data source, ie an SQL Server, and use it for all data applications without having to worry about recompiling the application.
The unixODBC team has reached this objective by providing the best technical solution to ODBC demands on the Linux platform. Also; ALL unixODBC development is and will be distributed under GPL or LGPL. The LGPL on libs will ensure that commercial solutions will be able to utilize unixODBC.
Enhancements:
- Fix a couple of typo errors in postgres driver and odbctest
- Fix problem where ini files could be truncated under heavy load
- Fix potential hang with FILEDSNs if the connect string included a DSN= entry as well
- Dont save the SAVEFILE attribute in the filedsn.
- Fixed bug that prevented the setting of some attributes via the DMConnAttr method
- Removed the -module entry from the cursor lib, it prevents it building on HPUX.
- Add a couple of extra info types to the pull down in odbctest
- SQLGetInfoW was returning the wrong length when converting from the ANSI call. The same was also going on the other way. Also fixed same thing for other calls.
- Fix incorrect value in SQLFetchScroll in odbctest
- Fix memory leak in odbcinstQ
- Check for MOC being found, before building GUI parts
- Add list of export symbols to libodbcinst
- Fix a problem in the cursor lib returning blobs
- SQL_DIAG_NUMBER was being stored and returned as a SQLINTEGER instead of a SQLRETURN
- Check if we can include sys/stats.h in iniOpen.c
- Fix potential buffer overun in SQLConfigDataSource()
- Fix problem in odbctest that prevented intervals from being displayed.
- Cope with SHLIBEXT not being set when finding the cursor lib
- Add a couple of missing Setup64 checks
- Small change in __info to conserve memory
- Add odbcinst.exp to distrib
- Add missing ODBC2 installer stubs
- Fix typo in SQLStatistics
- Not passing user names and password into isql passes NULLS not empty strings into SQLConnect
- Add missing SQLPrepareA from the driver manager export file
- Make the default for DontDLClose 1, it doesnt do any harm, and fixes some segfaults
- Fix printf format in the postgres driver on 64 platforms

Chain Reaction (aka Critical Mass, aka Atoms) is an addictive, multi-player board game. Lee Haywoods Chain Reaction is easy to learn to play. There is a computer player (for 2 player games only).
- Players take turns to add units (blobs) of their colour to either an empty cell or a cell they already occupy.
- Once the number of blobs in a cell equals the number of neighbouring cells - 2 in a corner, 3 along an edge and 4 elsewhere - the blobs explode, adding 1 blob to each neighbour and leaving the original cell empty.
- The neigbouring cell may then have enough blobs to explode as well - making their neigbours explode, and so on - a chain reaction.
- Any blobs affected by the chain reaction change colour to that of the person making the move - this is how other players cells are taken.
- Wipe out your opponent(s) and win - eventually someone is going to win because the total number of blobs increases by 1 with each move, gradually filling the board.
Main features:
- Provides a high-quality computer player (for a single opponent).
- Allows between 2 and 6 players.
- Graphical implementation - can be played either in a window or in full-screen mode.
- Configurable for different screen resolutions, allowing massive boards to be used.
- Audio support for both sound-cards and simple beeps/bells.
- Features a grid editor.
- Automatically moves the mouse pointer back to the current players last position.
- Indicates where each player last went.
- Shows progress indicators for each player and for the whole game.
- Player names may be entered and saved.
- Players can choose their favourite colour to play with.
- Foreground and background skins may be changed.
- Saved states can be automatically loaded when the program starts.
Game options:
- Provides the ability to undo and redo all moves.
- Games in progress can be saved and resumed later.
- Locks keyboard and mouse controls individually for each player.
- Players can stick with their favourite colour when the order of play is changed.
- Sound can be turned on and off during a game (for both samples and beeps).
