Free et pro software for linux

BuddySpace is an instant messenger with four novel twists: (1) it allows optional maps for geographical & office-plan visualizations in addition to standard buddy lists; (2) it is built on open source Jabber, which makes it interoperable with ICQ, MSN, Yahoo and others; (3) it is implemented in Java, so it is cross-platform; (4) it is built by a UK research lab, so it is 100% free with full sources readiily available. But BuddySpace is about more than just messaging, as we explain below.

One of the key factors that led to the widespread popularity of Instant Messaging applications from 1997 onwards (including ICQ, AOL, Yahoo!, MSN, Odigo, and Jabber messengers) was the concept of pushed presence: the automatic notification of the appearance of friends and colleagues online.

However, Instant Messaging (IM) is just one of many possible presence-related and presence-dependent applications. For example, presence-enabled applications can facilitate safety-tracking of children by mobile phone, support for emergency services, blind-date radar, group teleconference management, multiplayer games, and anything involving the collaboration of individuals separated in space and time.

Why phone a contact only to receive an engaged tone or pre-recorded message, when the telephone network already knows what state your contact is in, and could indicate this directly on your contact list? All of these concepts embody varying degrees of what we refer to as enhanced presence management.

The concept of presence has matured in recent years to move away from the simple notion of online/offline/away, towards a rich blend of attributes that can be used to characterise an individuals physical and/or spatial location, work trajectory, time frame of reference, mental mood, goals, and even intentions! Our challenge is how best to characterise presence, how to make it easy to manage and easy to visualise, and how to remain consistent with the users own expectations, work habits, and existing patterns of Instant Messaging and other communication tool usage.

BuddySpace generalizes the concept of Buddy List (popularised by Instant Messaging tools such as AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ, MSN Messenger, and Yahoo Messenger) to provide multiple views of collaborative workgroups according to users needs and tastes. Our aim has been to provide a personal dashboard or radar screen so that one can observe the availability and interaction state of colleagues worldwide in a manner that exhibits the following desirable properties:

* immediate: real-time updates need to be pushed instantly to users rather than pulled in by request -- the push approach helps keep updates more palpable and informative
* peripheral and therefore non-intrusive: users lead busy lives, and dislike being bombarded with yet more information, so we aim to keep awareness of colleagues available in a compact manner that can be noticed peripherally
* customisable: some people prefer simple or hierarchical lists, some prefer visual maps, some prefer status lights, and so on; some prefer a Windows look-and-feel, some a Mac-- we need to cater for diverse user preferences and capabilities
* scaleable: we have to provide ways to indicate the presence of potentially enormous numbers of people, even given that these numbers will be filtered down for personal use -- researchers inhabit workspaces with many hundreds of colleagues around the globe; the Open University has well over 150,000 students online; large peer-spaces like music swapping communities have many millions of users connected simultaneously
* interoperable: with several hundred million users of the Big Four (AIM/ICQ/MSN/Yahoo!), it is crucial that any approach allow interopebility with systems to which our users already subscribe; this is one of the many reasons we built BuddySpace entirely on top of Jabber (www.jabber.org), which provides gateways to the Big Four products.
* cross-platform: we need to service a community not only on Windows, Unix/Linux, and Mac desktop and notebook configurations, but also on PDAs and mobile phones -- we therefore develop entirely in Java
* XML-literate: for future intelligent applications, communication transport needs to be about more than just string-transmission; another we adopted Jabber is that it is based entirely on a generic XML transport architecture, ideally suited for this purpose.
* open source: for the research community to join us and to gain leverage via our research output, we have ensured that BuddySpace is open source, available on SourceForge.
* clean: BuddySpace adheres rigorously to the Jabber specification, which means that it interoperates with other Jabber clients and servers without danger of the rogue behaviour that non-standard implementations inadvertently allow (e.g. the semantics of users inhabiting multiple groups is undefined in some clients, and can cause crashes).
* extendable: BuddySpace deploys a plug-in architecture which means that additions, such as new visualizations, and new concepts such as gaming interfaces, are readily achievable

BuddySpace fulfills all the above criteria, and provides a compelling user interface that can be highly compact, yet provide users with an important feel-good factor, akin to seeing nearby office lights turned on when entering ones office building at night. By studying the semantics of presence, we can also augment the existing impoverished presence states in a principles manner, providing capabilities that are more representative of the way real users work. Forthcoming capabilities will include automatic location updates via mobile devices, and the use of semantic matchmaking via intelligent profile handling, in order to help users quickly find and filter colleagues of particular interest.

WMnet is a little WindowMaker dockapp network monitor I wrote for Linux.

It was originally inspired by that funky program tleds that blinks your keyboard LEDs in response to net traffic, but its a lot more entertaining than that nowadays.

I wrote this thing with low cpusage, low memory, and efficient use of screen real-estate in mind.

This little program polls network statistics and does a few things with the data it gets. It has small blinking lights for the rx and tx of IP packets, a digital speedometer of your polled stats current speed and a bar graph like xload et. al which has a tx speed graph from bottom-up and rx speed graph from the top-down.

The speedometer keeps track of the current speed per second and shows it in a color corresponding to which of rx or tx that has the highest speed at the moment. Also, the graph is drawn in a way that the highest speed is drawn on top of the other while the other is in the background. Depending on whether you are running ppp or ethernet
connections, you should set the -x parameter to about 1.5 times the high speed of your connection... the default is 6000 which will be stupid if youre on a ethernet line with a max of about 800 kb/sec.

Ive found the best for an ethernet line is -x 10000000 -l Having the logarithmic scale lets you see any speed of traffic from a telnet session to downloadeding something from across the hall at 600 kb/sec.

I tried to keep this is as small and efficient as possible CPU time on my K5 PR100 with the default poll time of 25000 microseconds (1 microsecond == 1 millionth of a second.) is less than 20 seconds per 24 hours Which is less than even wmmixer uses for me.

wmnet now uses drivers to get stats. The existing stat driver from previous versions has been moved to the ipfwadm driver. To get some generic IP accounting rules using ipfwadm:

ipfwadm -A in -i -S 0.0.0.0/0
ipfwadm -A out -i -D 0.0.0.0/0

ET Live project is a live viewer server for "RTCW: Enemy Territory".
Main features:
- Shows whos playing on your server, team, xp, and ping
- Shows current map.
- Makes a crude attempt to determine whos winning.
- Links player name to a systats db. (Optional)

ZeCetL is an IRC bot that lets all users in an IRC channel play Countdown ("les chiffres et les lettres" in French).
ZeCetL project also supports some other famous TV games like "motus" and "la cible". A Web interface shows the stats of every player and sums up all played games.
Enhancements:
- The bot can now handle different langages.
- French and basic English is packaged, but it is easy to add others.
- Support for MSN, Yahoo, Jabber, and more was added through the use of bitlbee.

WebChat2aim is a server that will connect/disconnect your AIM bot. It provides a bridge API to connect your Web visitors to your AIM API.

The script allows your Web site to broadcast and then allow a CSR to answer the incoming requests. Your Web site uses curl et al to command and control the actual persistent AIM connection.

Bio::SAGE::DataProcessing module processes raw serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) data.

SYNOPSIS

use Bio::SAGE::DataProcessing;
$sage = Bio::SAGE::DataProcessing->new();

# open sequence and quality files
open( READS, "library.fasta" );
open( QUAL, "library.qual.fasta" );

# collect ditags and statistics from reads
$sage->process_library( *READS, *QUAL );

# close files
close( READS );
close( QUAL );

# output tags in descending order of expression
my %tags = %{$sage->get_tagcounts()};
open( TAGS, ">library.tags" );
map { print TAGS join( "t", $_, $tags{$_} ) . "n" } sort { $tags{$b} $tags{$a} } keys %tags;
close( TAGS );

# tag AAACCGGGTT matches two different genes
# so 15th base pair may help resolve this
$sage->print_extra_base_calculation( $sage->get_extract_base_calculation( "AAACCGGGTT" ) );

This module provides several tools for processing and analyzing serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) libraries.

Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) is a molecular technique for generating a near-global snapshot of a cell population’s transcriptome. Briefly, the technique extracts short sequences at defined positions of transcribed mRNA. These short sequences are then paired to form ditags. The ditags are concatamerized to form long sequences that are then cloned. The cloned DNA is then sequenced. Bioinformatic techniques are then employed to determine the original short tag sequences, and to derive their progenitor mRNA. The number of times a particular tag is observed can be used to quantitate the amount of a particular transcript. The original technique was described by Velculescu et al. (1995) and utilized an ~14bp sequence tag. A modified protocol was introduced by Saha et al. (2002) that produced ~21bp tags.

PURPOSE

This module facilitates the processing of SAGE data. Specifically:

1. extracting ditags from raw sequence reads.
2. extracting tags from ditags, with the option to
exclude tags if the Phred scores (described by
Ewing and Green, 1998a and Ewing et al., 1998b)
do not meet a minimum cutoff value.
3. calculating descriptive values
4. statistical analysis to determine, where possible,
additional nucleotides to extend the length of the
SAGE tag (thus facilitating more accurate tag to
gene mapping).

Both regular SAGE (14mer tag) and LongSAGE (21mer tag) are supported by this module. Future protocols should be configurable with this module.
