Free hot topic software for linux

TopicEngine is an advanced topic management script for eggdrop bots. Its features are: fine-grained access permissions, multiple channels, shortcuts to commands, intelligent topic handling, learning, locking, and more.

Commands can be executed via public message (using !topic in a channel), query (/msg botnick topic #channel, or on the partyline (.topic #channel).

Wont change the topic if it would make it go over the maximum topic length for the network
Access can be limit by bot flags per channel or globally, and by IRC status (+o,+v). Users can be blocked if needed.

Supports prefixes and postfixes to ensure something is always at the start/end of the topic (e.g. channel homepage URL).

If a user changes the topic with /topic, will try to learn the new one so that future !topic commands work smoothly. If a topic is set without a pre- or postfix, the bot resets the topic with them.

Topic locking, so that it cannot be changed. If the topic is changed with /topic, the bot will change it back. TopicEngine uses the botnet to try to avoid a botfight with two locked topics.
he topic is reset after a netsplit to make sure all servers across the network have the topic.
Intelligent trimming of the topic to try to fit as much as possible into the available space.

Can learn a new topic if its set with /topic instead of through the bot. Automatically learns all the topics on active channels when joining them, and will update them to have pre- and postfixes if needed.

PowerTop project detects which Linux programs and kernel tunables are resulting in the largest power consumption and use of battery time.
Power usage is a hot topic for computer users everywhere. For some, its a matter of how long a laptop lasts without being plugged in. For others, its controlling the temperature of hundreds of systems within a datacenter. For all of us, its about keeping the electricity bill under control and being kind to the environment.
Getting your computer to use the least amount of power can be problematic. This site provides information on reducing power usage, tips, and tricks for Intel-based computers running Linux*.
As a first step, Intel is releasing PowerTOP, a tool that helps you find what software is using the most power. By fixing (or closing) these applications or processes, you can immediately see the power savings in the tool. Youll also see the estimated time left for battery power if you are running a laptop. The Tips&Tricks page has fixes for a lot of the issues that are already found. Join our mailing list to participate in this effort to get Linux to use less power.
Building:
Just type make and then run the program...
tar -zxf powertop-1.1.tar.gz
cd powertop
make
./powertop
Enhancements:
- This release shows P-states (frequencies).
- A suggestion to disable TV-out and to disable Wake-On-LAN for unused ethernet has been added.

wmthrottle is a dockapp for throttling CPU via ACPI.

A small app of questionable value (myself I use it to throttle the CPU when I perceive it is getting too hot. At the moment the code is optimized for a dell laptop but should work on most ACPI systems.

Remember throttling is not the same as performance, but has its own advantages.

Also remember that playing around with your CPU etc can be a bad thing so saying
standard I take no responsibility for damage to your machine disclaimer applies.

NOTE provides a console note management tool.
NOTE is a small console program that allows you to manage notes similar to programs like "knotes" from the command line. It supports different database backends for storage, and includes a DBI-based MySQL module and another module that uses a binary file for storage and a DBM module.
Main features:
- Several different database backends, mysql(DBI), dbm, binary(bin file), general and text (text files).
- Commandline interface using the standard perl module etopt::Long, which allows you tuse short or long command-line options.
- Interactive interface(pure ascii), the following functions are available in interactive mode: list, display, topic, delete, edit, help.
- Highly confiurable using a perlish configfile ~/.noterc. although it is configurable it is not required, note can run without a configfile using useful default presets.
- Colourized output is supported using ASCII Escape-Sequences.
- The user can customize the color for each item.
- Data can be stored in various different database backends, since all database access is excluded from the program itself in perl modules.
- Notes can be deleted, edited and you can search trough your notes.
- Notes can be categorized. Each category(topic) can contain multiple notes and even more sup-topics. There is nlimitation about sub topics.
- You can view all notes in a list and it is possible only tview notes under a certain topic.
- There is a tree-view, which allows you tget an overview of your topic-hierarchy.
- Notes can be encrypted using DES or IDEA algorythms and Crypt::CBC.
- You can dump the contents of your note database inta plain text file, which can later be imported. Imports can be appended or it can overwrite an existing database (-o).
- Note has scripting capabilities, you can create a new note by piping another commands output tnote, you can alsimport a notedump from stdin as well es duming tstdout instead a file. Additional, there is an option --raw available, which prints everything out completely without formatting.
- for better performance, note can cache the database for listings or searching.
- It can be installed without root-privileges.
- if Term::ReadLine (and Term::ReadLine::Gnu) is installed, history and auto-completion are supported in interactive mode.
- Last, a while aga user stated: "... it simply does, what it says ..."

Infrared-HOWTO explains how to use the software provided by the Linux/IrDA project.

The Infrared-HOWTO (formerly known as the IR-HOWTO) is an introduction to Linux and infrared devices and how to use the software provided by the Linux/IrDA project.

This package uses IrDA(TM) compliant standards.

Remote Control (RC) via infrared is not the aim of the project, though this topic is partly treated in the HOWTO.
