Ryans Electronic Diary Sheet (aka RyansEDS) is a web-based Perl application which allows members of an organization (typically staff) to inform each other of their proposed whereabouts. The project is designed to be a simple shared calendaring application which does require complex (and often proprietary) client/server software.
Like its sister application Ryans In/Out Board it was written to fulfil a need at my employer Contact a Family. Staff needed a simple centralised way to let each other know when they would be out of the office rather than get into the complexities of sharing calendars.
The diary sheet works on a week by week basis and stores its data accordingly. A shell script (bacth file) is supplied which (when run as a scheduled event/cron job) will clear out data older that your chosen limit. Thus data storage is kept to a minimum. The diary sheet itself also has a feature will prevent users from going too far forward or backward.
Main features:
- Simple to use and administer
- Week to a screen view
- Users can be grouped into (colour coded) departments - current users department shown at top
- User aliases permit users to have friendly names on the diary sheet whilst logging in with more secure names 1
- No database required - uses simple text files for storage
- Tidies up after itself - deletes old storage files 2.
- No client application required - save for a web browser
- Easily configurable styles - all through the config file no HTML/CSS skills required.
- Allows additional comments/notes to be linked from the main diary sheet view
- Cross platform - runs on any browser and a range of server OSs.
- W3C compliant and fully accessible HTML output
- Suitable for small-medium installations (< 100 users)

Electronics Optimizer project is an electronics design tool for advanced optimization and design of electronic circuits - with Monte Carlo, Optimizer and Worst Case Analysis.

Electronics Optimizer helps you to quickly design a circuit (choosen from a standard library of circuits) to match your specified design parameters without drawing a schematic. Moreover Electronics Optimizer has a calculator for first-cut estimates for designers.

ELOG is part of a family of applications known as weblogs. ELOG Electronic Web Logbook general purpose is :
1. to make it easy for people to put information online in a chronological fashion, in the form of short, time-stamped text messages ("entries") with optional HTML markup for presentation, and optional file attachments (images, archives, etc.)
2. to make it easy for other people to access this information through a Web interface, browse entries, search, download files, and optionally add, update, delete or comment on entries.
ELOG is a remarkable implementation of a weblog in at least two respects :
- its simplicity of use : you dont need to be a seasoned server operator and/or an experimented database administrator to run ELOG ; one executable file (under Unix or Windows), a simple configuration text file, and it works. No Web server or relational database required. It is also easy to translate the interface to the appropriate language for your users.
- its versatility : through its single configuration file, ELOG can be made to display an infinity of variants of the weblog concept. There are options for what to display, how to display it, what commands are available and to whom, access control, etc. Moreover, a single server can host several weblogs, and each weblog can be totally different from the rest.
Several logbooks can be served though a single ELOG server. Each logbook can use different attributes for its entries. The logbook can then be searched using these attributes. The right pane on the left image shows a search for all entries with attribute "Type" equal to "Configuration ", and the lower pane shows the search result. It is also possible to use full-text search in attributes and the entry body.
While logbook entries are usually displayed one entry per page, they can also be listed consecutively which makes it easy to produce a paper printout of a logbook.
Logbook pages can be edited or deleted. This feature can be turned off in the configuration file so that a logbook entries cannot be changed after being submitted.
An additional feature is the automatic generation of a notification email messages based on a certain type or category of a logbook entry.
Main features:
- Personal Logbooks. Personal notes can be written into ELOG and can then be retrieved from anywhere with a Web browser. This makes it handy for PC supporters who have to go around in companies or laboratories and dont want to carry their paper logbook with them. The same holds true for people traveling around a lot. The logbook database consists of plain ASCII files which can copied easily between different computers to have local access, for example on a notebook with no network connection.
- Shared Logbooks. Logbooks can be shared by several people, for reading and optionally for writing. This way workgroups can share and exchange information like in a (simplified) news group. This is supported by the Reply command in ELOG which creates "threads" of entries. Users can be notified by email when new entries are added to the logbook. Compared to that of a news server, the installation of ELOG is much simpler.
- Small Databases. Since arbitrary attributes can be defined for a logbook, it can be used as a small database with search facilities.
- Problem collections. A system can consist of two logbooks, in one of which users enter bugs or problems. If someone adds a problem, an email is automatically sent to the administrator, who can then copy the entry to the second logbook and add the solution to the problem. Users can then look up all fixed problems.
- Shift Logbooks. If the Allow delete and Allow edit flags are off, an entry cannot be modified once its been entered. This can be useful for shift logbooks for example in accelerator control rooms where each entry becomes a "document" with a time and author stamp. ELOG was originally developed as a shift logbook for the PiBeta and Muegamma particle experiments at PSI.
- File collections. Since files can be attached to ELOG entries, the system can be used to store and retrieve files. This can be used to store configuration files, which need to be accessible by several people over the web, or to store images. Since ELOG features an elaborate query facility, entries can be searched for by specifying several categories.
Enhancements:
- ELCode tags were improved with keyboard shortcuts, tables, and a date/time tag.
- Several small bugs were fixed.

Electric VLSI Design System is a complete Electronic Design Automation (EDA) system that can handle many forms of circuit design, including:

* Custom IC layout
* Schematic Capture (digital and analog)
* Textual Languages such as VHDL and Verilog
* Programmable logic (FPGAs)
* ...and much more.

The system can be used in the electronic world to keep track of your: Schematic, Printed Circuit Board, Front Plate, Programmable Logic Device numbers.
EDA index is programmed in PHP (and XHTML 1.0), using a MySQL database to store data, so its more or less OS independent, but a Linux server is recommended, since it already got most software installed as default, this configuration is also called LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP)
Its also recommended that a local intranet server is used, since the system dont got a user login, so all data can be viewed without a password, but when you need to add or edit data a password is required. At first this approach might seem wierd, but its designed to allow quick lookups. Example:
You are sitting with a broken pcb with a number on it, and need to find the schematic (so you can repair it) on the computer or in the printed project (schematic) archive. EDA Index allow an quick lookup in the database, without you needing to login, so you get the job done faster.
As far as I know, there are no commercial (or free) program available that can do what EDA Index can, some companies may have created their own software, but how do that help you.
I have worked in an electronic department that had a self made application, but it lagged features like search.
This program is very usefull, if you are using numbers when:
Drawing electronic Schematics and PCBs using a CAD program like: Eagle, gEDA, Protel, Orcad, etc.
Creating Front Plate layouts in: GIMP, Coral Draw, Photoshop, AutoCAD, etc.
Programming Programmable Logic Devices like: PLD, EPLD, CPLD, PIC, APIC, PEEL, PAL, GAL, FPGA, Intel 80XX, Motorola 68XX, etc. Writing the code in: VHDL, Assambler, JEDEC, etc.
Enhancements:
- Included the bugfix to RC2.
- Updated online documentation.
- Updated INSTALL file.

phpLogCon is a web interface to syslog and other network event data. phpLogCon project provides easy browsing and some basic analysis of realtime network events.
Depending on the applications feeding the database, it can process syslog messages, Windows event log entries and even SNMP trap data - just to name a few.
phpLogCon is part of Adiscons MonitorWare line of monitoring applications. It runs both under Windows and Unix/Linux.
The database can be populated by MonitorWare Agent, WinSyslog or EventReporter on the Windows side and by rsyslog on the Unix/Linux side.
