This program is a port of the famous BSD game fortune.
This program currently can only be run via the command line. It is ideal for use with various e-mail clients like pine,mutt etc. to insert random quotes at the end of your e-mail or for displaying a random quote when a user logs into your unix box. A more advanced application could be to display random tips in your program.
Main features:
- Written in Java, hence Platform Independent
- Handles multiple quote files.
- Supports fortune style cookie files.
- Supports passing various command line options. More options are being integrated in.
- Easily integrable into other JAVA programms.
- Easy and straighforward code.
- Licensed under GPL which means you can access the source code and make it better according to your likes.

mpodder is a simple command line based podcast receiving (podcatching) tool. mpodder is written in perl and should run quite happily on Linux, the BSDs etc.

The intent is for mpodder to be called from cron. It will notify the user of new content by email or a kdialog/xmessage popup. mpoddercan download only feed items from the last n days, and feeds can be brought up to date withouot having to download all old items (using the "catchup" command).

Examples

Listing current feeds

To see what feeds mpodder is currently looking at, use the listoperation:

% mpodder list
http://www.lugradio.org/episodes.rss
http://www.thepodcastnetwork.com/linuxuser/feed/
http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/downloadtrial/worldservice/godigital/rss.xml
http://radio.linuxquestions.org/syndicate/lqpodcast.php
http://feeds.feedburner.com/techpodcasts
http://linux.quicksurf.com/wp-rss2.php?cat=78
http://slashdotreview.com/wp-rss2.php
http://feeds.feedburner.com/twit
http://www.joshmcadams.com/perlcast/index.xml

If you provide a second parameter, the list will be filtered. All filteres in mpodder are using perl style regular expressions:

% mpodder list linux
http://www.thepodcastnetwork.com/linuxuser/feed/
http://radio.linuxquestions.org/syndicate/lqpodcast.php
http://linux.quicksurf.com/wp-rss2.php?cat=78

Adding feeds

Adding a feed to mpodder is simple, just use the add operation, followed by the URL of the feed:

% mpodder add http://lugradio.org/episodes.rss

Removing feeds

To remove a feed, use the remove parameter and a filter. All feeds matching the filter will be removed

% mpodder remove lugradio

Removed feed: http://www.lugradio.org/episodes.rss

Removed 1 feeds from list

Fetching feeds

Fetching everything (all new items in all feeds) is the default operation of mpodder. To do this simply omit any parameters on the command line:

% mpodder

You can specify a filter to only download feeds whose URL matches the filter:

% mpodder fetch lugradio

Catching up feeds

If youve just added a new feed, but dont want to download all the items in the feed, use the catchup operation. The parameter is a filter pm the URL of the feed:

% mpodder catchup lugradio

Caught up with 3 feeds

Checking what would be done

Most operations in mpodder can be simulated using the --pretend option. This is like -n in GNU make. Instead of actually doing the operation that is requested, a message is printed saying what would be done if the --pretend option were removed:

% mpodder --pretend fetch lugradio

would fetch: http://lugmirror.pcproff.com/lugradio-s2e17-060605-high.mp3

Getting more information on what mpodder is doing

The --verbose and --debug=n options can be used to make mpodder print out more information that usual about what it is doing. Nice for the curious. The parameter to --debug is an integer from 1 to 10.

Freebaser project consists of collection of Free database applications.
Its goal is to create simple, elegant, and useful applications to solve organizational issues.
It includes a client database, a member database, a contacts database, a task list/todo list, and a workflow database.
Main features:
- Client database
- Member database
- Contacts database
- Task List / Todo list
- Workflow
Client Database:
The clients database is a database that we plan on being used as the single database for an organisation that has customers/clients/etc. Ie. if your running your own business this is the database from the freebaser collective that you should be using as it incorporates all the aspects of the contacts and member datbases but adds business/client/customer related fields and sections.
Contacts Database:
The contacts databse is designed to be used by you as your personal friends/contacts database.
Member Database:
The Member database is designed for Not-For-Profit organisations that are made up of members and not customers/clients/employees. The idea organisation is a Trade Union, or small club that needs to track its members.
Task List/Todo List:
The Task List database is designed to trach and manage your daily tasks and duties.
Workflow Database:
The Workflow database is still in a proto-type mode but is design to be able to let the user to track and manage the various organisation processes.
An example is a group publishing its newsletter, there maybe 40 steps from start to finish in getting a newsletter out and the Workflow database is design to be able to accomodate these kind of process tracking.
At the moment the Workflow database is pretty useless unless its customised to your particular organisational processes - as each organisation has its own processes.
Enhancements:
- Changes made to the table CSS to make the pop up calendar appear correctly

fortune-xfiles project consists of various quotes from the X-Files TV episodes for the fortune program.

To install these fortunes, copy the .dat file to your fortunes directory (possibly /usr/games/lib/fortunes).

To use it, simply type:

# fortune xfiles

Example:

Mulder: You know, I always wanted a peg-leg. It was a boyhood
thing I never grew out of.

saml-registry is a SAML 2.0 Metadata management tool that is useful for building shibboleth-based federations.

The saml-registry is a j2ee-application intended as a federation management tool, primarily (but not exclusively) for use with shibboleth. Future versions will support full delegation of rights through container-based role-management. The current version relies on container-based authentication.
For convenience the current version of the sql database schema and a jboss datasource descriptor sample can be found here on the right.

Installation instructions

Download the ear-file from the maven repository and drop it in the deploy-directory of your jboss application server. This build has been tested with jboss 4.0.2 but later versions should work.

You may need to disable certain features in a standard jboss, notably the jboss-ws4ee.sar (which conflicts with webservices provided by saml-registry) - just remove it from the deploy directory. Newer versions of jboss may ship with included versions of myfaces and jsf. These files must also be removed from your jboss before deploying saml-registry (or you must repackage the application excluding these libraries from the ear).

Next create a datasource-file for the mysql datastore. The < jndi-name/ > must be set to jdbc/saml-registry. Now create the database (update the datasource file with the server, username and password). Drop this file next to the ear in the deploy-directory. Use the sql schema to populate the database.

Finally configure authentication and authorization for saml-registry. This is done in the container by editing the login-config.xml (for jboss). Create a security domain called saml-registry in login-config.xml. The attached login-config.xml contains a sample entry which is based on property-files. The UsersRolesLoginModule is described on the jboss wiki.

The authorization for saml-registry is also managed by the security domain using standard j2ee role-based security. The roles govern access to individual use-cases (represented by menu entries in the user interface). Future versions will add per-organizational access control to this basic framework so that management of entities can be delegated.

The use-cases and roles is documented by this usecase diagram. Once your security-domain is configured to serve these roles (by editing property-files or whatever) you should be able to point your browser to https://your-box.example.com/saml-registry and get the main menu (or a login page depending on how your security domain was setup).

Building from source

In order to build saml-registry from source (which can be obtained from the subversion repository) you need maven2 and java5 to build the sources. The saml-registry is based on an MDA toolchain called andromda. Normally maven2 should download and install all dependencies, however the user interface needs the jsf2 cartridge from the andromda plugins project which may not be distributed from the andromda maven repository. If maven2 complains about unresolved dependencies for jsf2 then checkout the andromda plugins project and build it manually.

fortune-starwars project is a collection of mod-fortune quotes from Star Wars.

fortune-starwars is a collection of quotes from the movies "Star Wars", "The Empire Strikes Back", and "Return Of The Jedi".

It does not contain quotes from Episodes One to Three, because I don’t really like them.

It is meant for use with the fortune program.

To install these fortunes, copy the .dat file to your fortunes directory (possibly /usr/games/lib/fortunes).

To use it, simply type:

# fortune starwars

Teeter Torture project is a simple shooting game (similar to "Space Invaders", "Galaga" or "Galaxian"), but with a unique twist.

Your cannon is sitting atop a teeter totter. If it leans too far in either direction, a barrel of TNT explodes!

"Weight monsters" appear at the top of the screen, and randomly fall towards the teeter totter. If they attach to it, theyll weigh it down, making it more difficult to keep it balanced. (If they hit the cannon, it explodes and you lose a life.)

Note:This is New Breed Softwares rendition of a classic arcade game prototype of the same name, created in 1982 by Larry Hutcherson of Exidy.
