JBidwatcher is a Java-based application allowing you to monitor auctions youre not part of, snipe (bid at the last moment), submit bids and otherwise track your auction-site experience.

It includes adult-auction management, MANY currencies (yen, pound, dollar (US, Canada, Australian, and New Taiwanese), Swiss Francs, and euro, presently), drag-and-drop of auction URLs, a unique and powerful multisniping feature, a relatively nice UI, and is known to work cleanly under Linux, Windows, Solaris, and MacOSX from the same binary.

Valgrind is an award-winning suite of tools for debugging and profiling Linux programs. With the tools that come with Valgrind, you can automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs, avoiding hours of frustrating bug-hunting, making your programs more stable. You can also perform detailed profiling, to speed up and reduce memory use of your programs.
Valgrind distribution currently includes three tools: a memory error detectors, a cache (time) profiler and a heap (space) profiler.
Valgrind is Open Source / Free Software, and is freely available under the GNU General Public License.
Main features:
- Valgrind will save you hours of debugging time. With Valgrind tools you can automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs. This gives you confidence that your programs are free of many common bugs, some of which would take hours to find manually, or never be found at all. You can find and eliminate bugs before they become a problem.
- Valgrind can help you speed up your programs. With Valgrind tools you can also perform very detailed profiling to help speed up your programs.
- Valgrind is free. Free-as-in-speech: you can download it, read the source code, make modifications, and pass them on, all within the limits of the GNU GPL. And free-as-in-beer: we arent charging for it.
- Valgrind runs on x86/Linux, AMD64/Linux and PPC32/Linux, several of the most popular platforms in use. Valgrind works with all the major Linux distributions, including Red Hat, SuSE, Debian, Gentoo, Slackware, Mandrake, etc.
- Valgrind is easy to use. Valgrind uses dynamic binary translation, so you dont need to modify, recompile or relink your applications. Just prefix your command line with valgrind and everything works.
- Valgrind is not a toy. Valgrind is first and foremost a debugging and profiling system for large, complex programs. We have had feedback from users working on projects with up to 25 million lines of code. It has been used on projects of all sizes, from single-user personal projects, to projects with hundreds of programmers.
- Valgrind is suitable for any type of software. Valgrind has been used on almost every kind of software imaginable: desktop applications, libraries, databases, games, web browsers, network servers, distributed control systems, virtual reality frameworks, transaction servers, compilers, interpreters, virtual machines, telecom applications, embedded software, medical imaging, scientific programming, signal processing, video/audio programs, NASA Mars lander vision and rover navigation systems, business intelligence software, financial/banking software, operating system daemons, etc, etc. See a list of projects using Valgrind.
- Valgrind is widely used. Valgrind has been used by thousands of programmers across the world. We have received feedback from users in over 25 countries, including: Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, USA, Australia, India, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and Israel.
- Valgrind works with programs written in any language. Because Valgrind works directly with program binaries, it works with programs written in any programming language, be they compiled, just-in-time compiled, or interpreted. The Valgrind tools are largely aimed at programs written in C and C++, because programs written in these languages tend to have the most bugs! But it can, for example, be used to debug and profile systems written in a mixture of languages. Valgrind has been used on programs written partly or entirely in C, C++, Java, Perl, Python, assembly code, Fortran, Ada, and many others.
- Valgrind debugs and profiles your entire program. Unlike tools that require a recompilation step, Valgrind gives you total debugging and profiling coverage of every instruction executed by your program, even within system libraries. You can even use Valgrind on programs for which you dont have the source code.
- Valgrind can be used with other tools. Valgrind can start GDB and attach it to your program at the point(s) where errors are detected, so that you can poke around and figure out what was going on at the time.
- Valgrind is extensible. Valgrind consists of the Valgrind core, which provides a synthetic software CPU, and Valgrind tools, which plug into the core, and instrument and analyse the running program. Anyone can write powerful new tools that add arbitrary instrumentation to programs. This is much easier than writing such tools from scratch. This makes Valgrind ideal for experimenting with new kinds of debuggers, profilers, and similar tools.
- Valgrind is actively maintained. The Valgrind developers are constantly working to fix bugs, improve Valgrind, and ensure it works as new Linux distributions and libraries come out. There are also mailing lists you can subscribe to, and contact if youre having problems.
- So whats the catch? The main one is that programs run significantly more slowly under Valgrind. Depending on which tool you use, the slowdown factor can range from 5--100. This slowdown is similar to that of similar debugging and profiling tools. But since you dont have to use Valgrind all the time, this usually isnt too much of a problem. The hours youll save debugging will more than make up for it.
Enhancements:
- 3.2.3 is almost identical to 3.2.2, but fixes a regression that unfortunately crept into 3.2.2. The regression causes an assertion failure in Valgrind when running certain obscure SSE code fragments on x86-linux and amd64-linux. Please do not use (or package) 3.2.2; instead use 3.2.3.

Locale::SubCountry is a Perl module that can convert state, province, county etc. names to/from code.

SYNOPSIS

my $country_code = GB;
my $UK = new Locale::SubCountry($country_code);
if ( not $UK )
{
die "Invalid code $country_coden";
}
elsif ( $UK->has_sub_countries )
{
print($UK->full_name(DGY),"n"); # Dumfries and Galloway
print($UK->regional_division(DGY),"n"); # CT (Scotland)
}

my $australia = new Locale::SubCountry(AUSTRALIA);
print($australia->country,"n"); # AUSTRALIA
print($australia->country_code,"n"); # AU

if ( $australia->has_sub_countries )
{
print($australia->code(New South Wales ),"n"); # NSW
print($australia->full_name(S.A.),"n"); # South Australia
my $upper_case = 1;
print($australia->full_name(Qld,$upper_case),"n"); # QUEENSLAND
print($australia->category(NSW),"n"); # state
print($australia->FIPS10_4_code(ACT),"n"); # 01
print($australia->ISO3166_2_code(02),"n"); # NSW

my @aus_state_names = $australia->all_full_names;
my @aus_code_names = $australia->all_codes;
my %aus_states_keyed_by_code = $australia->code_full_name_hash;
my %aus_states_keyed_by_name = $australia->full_name_code_hash;

foreach my $code ( sort keys %aus_states_keyed_by_code )
{
printf("%-3s : %sn",$code,$aus_states_keyed_by_code{$code});
}
}

# Methods for country codes and names

my $world = new Locale::SubCountry::World;
my @all_countries = $world->all_full_names;
my @all_country_codes = $world->all_codes;

my %all_countries_keyed_by_name = $world->full_name_code_hash;
my %all_country_keyed_by_code = $world->code_full_name_hash;

This module allows you to convert the full name for a countries administrative region to the code commonly used for postal addressing. The reverse lookup can also be done. Sub country codes are defined in "ISO 3166-2:1998, Codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions".

Sub countries are termed as states in the US and Australia, provinces in Canada and counties in the UK and Ireland.

Names and ISO 3166-2 codes for all sub countries in a country can be returned as either a hash or an array.

Names and ISO 3166-1 codes for all countries in the world can be returned as either a hash or an array.

ISO 3166-2 codes can be converted to FIPS 10-4 codes. The reverse lookup can also be done.

Finance::Quote::Yahoo::USA is a Perl module to obtain information about stocks and funds in the USA and Canada.

SYNOPSIS

use Finance::Quote;

$q = Finance::Quote->new;

%info = $q->fetch("usa","SGI");

This method provides access to financial information from a number of exhcanges in the United States and Canada. The following methods are available:

canada
usa
yahoo
nyse
nasdaq
vanguard
fidelity

These methods all use the same information source, and hence can be considered somewhat interchangable. However, the method "yahoo" should be passed to fetch if you wish to obtain information from any source that Yahoo tracks.

This method is loaded by default by Finance::Quote, although it can be explicitly loaded by passing the argument "Yahoo::USA" to Finance::Quote->new().

Information returned by this module may be subject to Yahoos terms and conditions. See http://finance.yahoo.com/ for more information.

LABELS RETURNED

This module returns all the standard labels that Yahoo provides, as well as the currency label. See Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for more information.

BUGS

Yahoo does not make a distinction between the various exchanges in the United States and Canada. For example, it is possible to request a stock using the "NYSE" method and still obtain data even if that stock does not exist on the NYSE but exists on a different exchange.

NetPipes provides a set of utilities to attach stdin/stdout utilities to network sockets.

The netpipes package makes TCP/IP streams usable in shell scripts. It can also simplify client/server code by allowing the programmer to skip all the tedious programming bits related to sockets and concentrate on writing a filter/service.

Applications of these utilities can include file transfer, network backups, HTTP queries, remote procedure calls, and TCP daemon testing.

The SSL encryption filter available in the US/Canada version can be applied by shell scripts communicating with secure HTTPDs and can be used to make an SSL IMAPD out of a non-SSL one. (requires the SSLeay library).

aucet is the server end of a TCP/IP stream. It listens on a port of the local machine waiting for connections. Every time it gets a connection it forks a process to perform a service for the connecting client.

hose is the client end of a TCP/IP stream. It actively connects to a remote port and execs a process to request a service.

encapsulate is an implementation of the Session Control Protocol. It allows you to multiplex several streams across a single TCP session and also transmits remote exit status.

ssl-auth is an encryption filter that encapsulates stdin/stdout from a subprocess (or its own stdin/stdout) in the Secure Socket Layer protocol as implemented by the SSLeay library. It can be used to communicate with encrypted daemons (HTTPS daemons, or SSL IMAP daemons) and can sometimes be used to jury-rig secure versions of such services.

sockdown is a simple program designed to shut down part or all of the socket connection. It is primarily useful when the processes connected to the socket perform both input and output.

getpeername and getsockname are two names for a program designed to print out the addresses of the ends of a socket. getpeername prints the address of the remote end and getsockname prints the address of the local end.

timelimit limits the amount of foreground wallclock time a process can consume. After the time limit runs out it either kills the process or exits and leaves it in the background.

GShow TV is a TV program schedule viewer and a Personal Video Recorder GUI. The basic purpose of GShow TV is to provide a nice GUI for viewing tv program schedule information and for recording the programs.

GShow TV doesnt itself do the recording of the selected programs, rather it uses any PVR solution that exists. GShow TV is globally usable as it uses XMLTV to access the program schedules, and xmltv has support for multitude of countries. (mid 2004 support for Canada, the USA, the UK, Germany, Austria, Finland, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Hungary, Denmark, Japan, Sweden, France, Norway, Portugal and Romania)

The interface between the recording software and the GUI is two trivial shell scripts, which are of course modifiable by the user as they see fit. The reason why this separation is simple: On linux almost everybody who has a TV card on their computer uses a different recording solution.

The multitude of home made recording systems is countless. However, most home made systems dont include a nice GUI and hence GShow TV. GShow TV uses XMLTV for its tv listing. GShow TV can be used as a TV Guide without its recording functionality.
