MOSIXVIEW 1.1
MOSIXVIEW is a GUI for managing openMosix-Cluster. more>>
MOSIXVIEW is a GUI for managing openMosix-Cluster. Everybody is invited to download and use it (at your own risk and responsibility).
You can adjust the main parameters of your openMosix-Cluster. It is a front-end for the "mosctl"-Commands. The "speed"of each node can be changed whith slide-buttons, that does not mean that you can increase the physical speed of a computer but you can influence what openMosix thinks what its speed is.
My experience is that processes will migrate a lot easier if the "speed" of the node the process is migrating to is higher than that one the process is running on (i set the speed of my "home-node" very low if i run some "bigger" jobs but still want to work at this host. Than all CPU-intensive processes will migrate to other nodes and on my "home-node" the load is quite low).

libwayne
libwayne is a library of reasonably abstract datatypes and algorithms written in C. more>>
libwayne is a library of reasonably abstract datatypes and algorithms written in C.
The algorithms in libwayne are by no means original. Many of them are taken verbatim from textbooks on data structures and algorithms, and I simply translated them into C. They include efficient and correct routines for priority queues, event-driven simulations, queues, stacks, binary trees, sets of integers, graphs (the node-edge kind), some combinatorics routines, ODE integration routines, a simple statistics package, and a matrix-vector library.
Many of the routines (heap, stack, queue, bintree) can work with arbitrary objects, not just integers. Comparisons are done with pointers to comparison functions, similar to ANSI Cs standard qsort. This library is not meant to be complete; I write the routines as I need them, but only high-quality code goes into libwayne.
One thing that many people ask me is ``why didnt you use C++? Without going into a long tirade, suffice it to say that, although I am not a C++ expert (actually, the only stuff I havent learned in intimate detail is templates), I know enough C++ to realize that it is not the be-all, end-all of programming languages. In fact, after several years of C++ being around, it is already beginning a slow fading into history, with Java being its successor --- and not a very good one, at that.
At the risk of sounding like the 40-50 year olds out there who still insist that FORTRAN is a good enough language for everything, Ill be a 30-something who insists that, until something better comes along, C is still a good all-purpose language in which to write heavy, data-structure intensive programs. I believe it was Dennis Ritchie who said something like, "C is rarely the best language for a given task, but its often the second-best," the implication being that its better to learn one language that is second-best for everything, than to learn a new language for every programming task. (One could say the same of English.)
I started libwayne when I realized that I was constantly re-writing little bits of code that did important things that should be in the C standard, but are not. For example, how many times have you written code like this:
if((p = malloc(n)) == NULL) /* or some other fatal error condition */
{
fprintf(stderr, "error: %sn", err_msg);
exit(1);
}
I got sick of it. Furthermore, I often wanted to know more about why my program failed. So I wrote Fatal. Heres its prototype:
void Fatal(char *fmt, ...); /* generates an assertion failure */
It uses varargs so you can pass it an arbitrary list of output arguments just like printf, but it generates an assertion failure so that if you run it under a debugger, you can look at the program nicely as it dies. It turned out to be only the first function I wrote for libwayne, and it was put into a file called "misc.c" which I started including in most of the code I wrote. Another early member of the library was Malloc, which calls Fatal if the standard malloc fails.
Eventually "misc.c" started getting pretty big, with macros for MIN, MAX, ABS, SQR, etc, so I created misc.h and compiled misc.c into an object module. That was about 1993.
About that time I started to realize that, at least in C, we need a way to pass "objects" around in a reasonably transparent way, but sometimes we want to treat pointers as integers. This makes some peoples teeth sweat (my own included), so I invented the voint datatype, which is (you guessed it) a union of (void*) and (int).
Then I started adding more complex algorithms to libwayne, whenever I needed them. Each and every piece of libwayne was written because I needed it, but only things that I took careful time to do well went into libwayne. Any algorithm that needs to compare objects needs a comparison function like the one used by the ANSI standard qsort routine.

Coin Strip project consists of scripts which play Coin Strip or Welters game against the user.
Coin Strip is a series of scripts in which the computer plays either Coin Strip or Welters game against the user (See "On Numbers and Games" by John Conway).
The scripts use a recursive algorithm in which the game tree is searched on the fly for sure winners, positions from which the computer cannot lose.
Since the search is CPU intensive, lookup tables have been generated for up to 6 coins on a strip 30 spaces long.
The scripts to generate and play using the lookup tables are provided for the Coin Strip game only.

tuneit 0.3
tuneit is a simple command-line instrument tuner for Linux. more>>
tuneit is a simple command-line instrument tuner for Linux.
It uses two different algorithms for pitch detection. By default, a simple and fast Schmitt Trigger based algorithm is used to detect the fundamental frequency of an instrument.
For better and more reliable results, there is an alternative FFT based algorithm which is much more CPU intensive.
As audio capture backends ALSA and JACK are supported. By default, tuneit will try to use the hw:0,0 ALSA device.
Options:
tuneit [OPTIONS...] [captureDevice]
Valid options:
-f Use the more CPU intensive FFT based algorithm
-i List available input ports and exit
-j Use JACK as the audio transport system
-l LATENCY Measurement window size in 1/N seconds (default is 10)
-r RATE Set desired ALSA sample rate (default is 48000)
-t HERTZ Tune the A note of the scale (default is 440.0)
Enhancements:
- Now uses the floating-point version of FFTW3 and in-place transforms for better performance when using the FFT algorithm.
- Fixes to support compilation with GCC 4.0.

The intended use of this system is in a buysiness or office enviroment. more>> FileArchiveIndexer 1.29 is a collection of modules and scripts to maintain detailed information about documents on disk. The intended use of this system is in a business or office environment.
The system allows for a large archive of files that will be regularly changing by the adding, moving, and removing of files. OCR software is used to index content of image files, hard copy paper documents saved as pdf files.
The initial indexing of a large archive can take weeks. This document shows an overview of how it works, and why some decisions were made as to how it works. For technical API documentation, please see FileArchiveIndexer.This application relies heavily on posix. It is meant to run on linux. Portability is not a goal of this package.
In maintaining a database indexing an archive of files, there are two things want to know. The first thing is want to know where the files are, refer to this as the Update Step. The other thing want to do is actually index the files. This is the Indexing Step.
Major Features:
- The system will deal with a large archive of documents residing in a filesystem.
- If a file is renamed, or moved, its contents should not be reindexed. If a file's data has not changed, there must be a way to acknowledge and reflect that.
- Indexing of particular document types can be extremely time intensive, taking maybe minutes for example to read an image with ocr and turn it into text.
- multiple indexing processes should be able to run, maybe even from different computers. They should not bump into each other. basically, there is a Queue system managing indexing.

IceWM Theme Designer 3.2
The IceWM Control Panel (IceWMCP) IcePref2 Theme Designer tool allows you to easily create and modify themes for IceWM. more>>
The IceWM Control Panel (IceWMCP) IcePref2 Theme Designer tool allows you to easily create and modify themes for IceWM.
IceWM Control Panel (IceWMCP) is the first full-featured, Gtk-based control panel for IceWM. It is meant to run in IceWM, but can be used in ANY window manager as a general-purpose control panel.
IceWMCP is multi-lingual. Currently, the following languages are supported: English, Spanish, Russian, Traditional Chinese, French (partial), and Finnish (IceWMCP-IceMe only).
Developers: If you would like to use IceWMCP as the foundation for a new control panel (for a new window manager, etc.), see the developers release of IceWMCP. IceWMCP was inspired by the Qt-based application called IceCC, but includes many more tools, a more familiar Windoze Control Panel-like interface, and uses the MUCH faster Gtk user interface (Who runs a fast Window Manager like IceWM, to launch SLOW-running, memory-intensive Qt/KDE-based applications?? I sure dont).
Lets face it: IceWM and fast Gtk interfaces work well together. In addition, because IceWM Control Panel is written with a TRUE open source widget set, Gtk+, you dont have to worry about the licensing problems associated with proprietary QT-based applications. IceWM Control Panel is TRUE open source, through and through.
Version restrictions:
- Access to a Bash shell (very important)
- Python (2.2 or better), PyGtk-2 (1.9.9/2.0.0 or better)
- Gtk+ 2.0.6 or better - neither Gnome nor PyGnome is required
- (IceWMCP versions 2.5 and earlier require Gtk+1 and PyGtk-1 0.6.9)
- Your version of PyGtk should have the Gdk-Pixbuf modules on your system
- Please run ALL IceWMCP programs from a BASH shell: Using other shells such as ksh, pdksh, csh, tcsh, etc. is likely to cause problems.
- If your IceWMCP programs have trouble launching other applications, it is most likely because you are using something other than a Bash (/bin/bash) shell.
- Run the programs from Bash...period!

aeswepd 0.4
aeswepd is UNIX daemon for changing WEP keys of WLAN devices in constant intervals. more>>
aeswepd is UNIX daemon for changing WEP keys of WLAN devices in constant intervals. The WEP keys are calculated by encrypting the current UNIX time using the AES cypher with a given constant key. aeswepd strengthens the security of the weak hardware based, standards compliant WEP technology.
aeswepd may use up to three hardware WEP keys: the first is set to the current, the second to the previous and the third to the next key. This is useful when working with not completely synchronized RTCs. If only a single hardware WEP key is used, you have to synchronize your RTCs so that no connectivity interrupts may occur.
aeswepd has several advantages over other solutions to improve WEP: it is easy to use, doesnt involve computing intensive algorithms, doesnt increase traffic latency. On the other hand it has several disadvantages as well: it requires an installation of aeswepd on all network members, it is not standardized, currently only APs which run a flavour of Linux may be used with it.

TinyFlux 0.4 Beta
TinyFlux is a PCLOS remaster using Fluxbox as the sole window manager. more>>
TinyFlux is a PCLOS remaster using Fluxbox as the sole window manager. The original reason for this was I was trying to create a mini-PCLOS that would load on an old laptop I have knocking around. In the end, I got it loaded, but couldnt get it to install. Anyway, despite this, I have started to delve into the workings of fluxbox and found it to present a different user experience, a different ethos if you like, for people who want a minimal style to their OS. In short, this simple window manager has won me over!
Many lite Linux distros use Fluxbox or have it as an option although other window managers (icewm, XFCE to name but two) have become more popular in recent times. DSL and Feather Linux are two distros that I know make use of Fluxbox.
When I first came across Fluxbox, I was coming from the wrong angle. I wanted a lite distribution to work on old hardware but expected the look and feel of KDE, Gnome or Windows. Fluxbox is not memory intensive, so it is ideal for older hardware, but what it lacks in bells and whistles, it makes up for in a uniquely minimal GUI experience. If you need convincing, either try my test release or install Fluxbox from Synaptic in your normal PCLOS install and try it for a while.
I initially started working down from a fresh PCLOS install, removing KDE and various components as I went along. I managed to get the live-cd size down to around 500MB, but I was after something smaller still. I discovered the TinyMe project and saw that the guys on that project have done a great job of stripping out some of the excesses of the main OS. I decided from then on to use TinyMe as the base for my first release - TinyFlux. The ISO is roughly 225MB. It is slightly larger than the TinyMe base as both Fluxbox and GDM the login manager take up more room than the TinyMe counterparts.
Main features:
- Fluxbox window manager
- i586 Legacy Kernel 2.6.18.8
- Gnome Display Manager (GDM) for login
- Thunar File Manager and Searchmonkey for desktop searches
- XFBurn for CD burning
- Opera web browser, Flash 9 and Sylpheed mail client
- XMMS for audio playback
- Medit and Ted for basic text processing
- GQView for picture viewing
- Synaptic, PCLinuxOS Control Centre and Draklive Installer
- Xterm and various X-Utilities.
Enhancements:
- File manager is now Thunar rather than PCManFM. This is because Thunar has better support for removable media. In fact, I would be very interested to hear anyones report or using removable media in this release CDs or USB drives.
- File Manager Super User Mode added to user accounts (in System sub-menu)
- XFBurn added for a modicum of CD writing/burning support.
- XMMS added for music playback
- Searchmonkey added for desktop/file searching.
- Transparency enabled and new default TinyFlux theme for user accounts (thanks to KDulcimer for inspiration. His theme is included PCLOS-KlearBlue)

When I first came across Fluxbox, I was coming from the wrong angle. I wanted a lite distribution to work on old hardware but expected the look and feel of KDE, Gnome or Windows. Fluxbox is not memory intensive, so it is ideal for older hardware, but what it lacks in bells and whistles, it makes up for in a uniquely minimal GUI experience. If you need convincing, either try my test release or install Fluxbox from Synaptic in your normal PCLOS install and try it for a while.
I initially started working down from a fresh PCLOS install, removing KDE and various components as I went along. I managed to get the live-cd size down to around 500MB, but I was after something smaller still. I discovered the TinyMe project and saw that the guys on that project have done a great job of stripping out some of the excesses of the main OS. I decided from then on to use TinyMe as the base for my first release - TinyFlux. The ISO is roughly 225MB. It is slightly larger than the TinyMe base as both Fluxbox and GDM the login manager take up more room than the TinyMe counterparts.
Main features:
- Fluxbox window manager
- i586 Legacy Kernel 2.6.18.8
- Gnome Display Manager (GDM) for login
- Thunar File Manager and Searchmonkey for desktop searches
- XFBurn for CD burning
- Opera web browser, Flash 9 and Sylpheed mail client
- XMMS for audio playback
- Medit and Ted for basic text processing
- GQView for picture viewing
- Synaptic, PCLinuxOS Control Centre and Draklive Installer
- Xterm and various X-Utilities.
Enhancements:
- File manager is now Thunar rather than PCManFM. This is because Thunar has better support for removable media. In fact, I would be very interested to hear anyones report or using removable media in this release CDs or USB drives.
- File Manager Super User Mode added to user accounts (in System sub-menu)
- XFBurn added for a modicum of CD writing/burning support.
- XMMS added for music playback
- Searchmonkey added for desktop/file searching.
- Transparency enabled and new default TinyFlux theme for user accounts (thanks to KDulcimer for inspiration. His theme is included PCLOS-KlearBlue)

Command Line WRAPper 0.3.0
Command Line WRAPper is a tool to build and run commands from input lines. more>>
Command Line WRAPper is a tool that provides an easy way to build and run commands from input lines, avoiding the use of shell script. It is similar to xargs.
clwrap can make great things with the locate command, and is low resource intensive. It can also do some not-quite-fun works like multiple configure/make/make install after a fresh system installation. In practice, you have to generate a list of files/directories you want to manage, clwrap takes it in standard input and apply the command you want to apply for each files (lines) in input.
But you can do much more, in fact, its up to you to find how to use it ;).
examples:
- copying several files into one specific directory:
locate myfiles | clwrap -e cp {} mydir/
- renaming several files:
ls -1 ultra*
| clwrap -e "echo -n mv -v {}" -e "echo {} | sed s/ultra/ /"
| clwrap -e {}
- running a specific line in the shell history:
history | grep "482" | head -n 1 | sed s/ *[0-9]* *// | clwrap -v -e {}
- try all tv norms and frequency tables possible combinations with scantv:
cat norm
| clwrap -e "cat freq | clwrap -e echo scantv -n {} -f {}"
| clwrap -e {} > file 2>&1
- reformat source code, after a backup of course:
ls -1 | clwrap -e "cp {} {}.orig && flip -u {} && cat {}
| sed s/^[ t]*$//;/^$/d
| indent -kr -bad -bap -bbb -sob -i8 -l100 {} -o {}.tmp
&& mv {} tmp && mv {}.tmp {}"

Template Lite 2.10
Template Lite is a smaller, faster alternative to the Smarty template engine. more>>
Template Lite is a smaller, faster alternative to the Smarty template engine.
For the most part, it is a drop in replacement for Smarty but uses around half of the memory and is considerably faster and far less CPU intensive when compiling and displaying templates.
Template lite was originally created by Paul Lockaby as a smaller replacement for Smarty. The original package was called Smarty Light. Even though Smarty is an Open Source project the creators of Smarty decided to trademark the name Smarty. Because of this trademarking of the name they contacted Paul Lockaby and told him he could nolonger use Smarty in the name for the package.
Paul Lockaby gave me permission to fork the project if I wanted as he was closing down support and developement for Smarty Light. The initial release of Template Lite contains a few minor bug fixes and some extra features.
I plan on adding more features to Template Lite over the next few months. For the most part Template Lite is a drop in replacement for Smarty. The nice thing about this package is how it uses around half of the memory of Smarty and it is considerably FASTER and far less CPU intensive when compiling and displaying templates.
Enhancements:
- register_resource and unregister_resource support was added.
- Different resources are supported by everything except for cached template output.
- The _get_resource internal function was added for processing "file:" and absolute tag resources.
- The resize_image plugin was added.
- Support for absolute paths to template files was fixed.

Tvark 0.4
Tvark is a network monitoring tool (sniffer) with a GUI front-end, and is tied to a MySQL database. more>>
Tvark is a network monitoring tool (sniffer) with a GUI front-end, and is tied to a MySQL database. Tvark is necessarily resource-intensive. It is a multithreaded, database utility for recording network traffic. As a consequence, it uses 100% of the CPU simply because of context-switching and packet handling. Additionally, using the database with Tvark on a high traffic network will generate a great deal of stored data quite rapidly, hence filtering options.
The database is set to record traffic based on the filtering options selected in the GUI. This will change in a future release so that database population will have its own filtering options without having to run the GUI.
What we are looking to provide is a forensic tool that meets two needs. First, an admin should be able to get a feel for traffic on the network by running the GUI, and be able to determine traffic of interest quickly and visually. Second, a simple database of traffic information allows us, and anyone else, to build forensic modules that display traffic information in a customized (and thereby useful) way.
Enhancements:
- Rename MIN/MAX to avoid name conflicts.
- Avoid creating mutex before pthread_create to make some libcs happy.

Mediainlinux 4 RC5
Mediainlinux is a multimedia-focused Linux distribution. more>>
Mediainlinux is a complete Linux distribution targeted at multimedia production, wich consist in a live cd (knoppix derived) containing more than 200 graphical application and thousands of command line tools for:
* Acquisition
* Conversion
* Editing
* Compression
* PostProduction in the Audio, 2D and 3D graphics and Video domain.
Mediainlinux distribution is a working prototype of a Debian Multimedia Distribution, based on the last version (3.4) of the Knoppix Linux Live Cd.
Our CD supports most of the graphic, audio and tv/satellite computer card on the consumer and prosumer market GNU/Linux compatible and has more than 200 graphical applications and hundreds (nearly 1000) of command line tools for covering all the complexity of the multimedia process of production: acquisition, conversion, compression and mastering.
Most of the Multimedia in the GNU/Linux world is covered, but there are some tools which we dont want to distribute together with Mediainlinux for legal reason and mainly because we are not sure about the integrity of the code, which could be stolen or covered by copyrights and so on.
You can install this applications after Mediainlinux is installed on the hard disk, because they will be present in the Synaptic interface (because we added the sources to the sources file).
Technical Goals:
1.Multimedia Kernel (modified to gain more reactivity from the system) and especially in the graphic (drivers for consumer and prosumer video cards) and audio (firmware for professional audio cards) subsystems, applying many patches like the low latency, preemption, real time e capabilities patches and reach a better recognizing of peripherals.
2.Boot splash: cover the Knoppix Live Cd initialization (which is oldish and bad looking, in our opinion) with an animation and some informations about the project.
3.Develop customized multimedia cd and application.
4.OpenMosix enabled kernel to make distributed rendering with Blender and Yafray.
Non technical goals:
1.Include applications which are not already part of the Debian distribution: speed in the free software world creates a situation in which hundreds of projects starts in a year and the ones which survive with an active development the first year and get developed for two or three years have a good chance to continue and be included in the major distributions. Sometimes it needs to anticipate this process and discover some applications which are not already shipped with a major distribution, before they become famous and encouraging their diffusion putting them in Mediainlinux. This has a double effect: makes the software better testing it and reporting bugs, suggestions and ideas and making better the whole Mediainlinux itself.
2.Support package maintainer to promote the diffusion of applications that havent already been debianized: programmers that transform the source code of a certain software in a Debian .deb, ready to be installed on a computer with a Debian GNU/Linux distribution (or a Debian compatible one like Mediainlinux) are often volunteers doing this work just as an hobby. For some other software there are already some sponsorships from some facilities and one of the goals of Mediainlinux is to find economic support for this programmers in the multimedia field of application.
3.Organizations: we had contacts with some organizations like ONU and UNESCO and with Italian (Turin, Padova, Bologna, Siena) and international (Bristol, Oslo, Zlin, Tampere, Georgia) universities and with some other organizations in the audio and video fields like FESTPACO or African Women Media Center. In all this places Mediainlinux has been introduced and in some also experimented, still limiting to single tests. With all this entities we would like to set up a collaboration that goes from simple testing and reporting of bugs, to requests for new characteristics and development of additional software.
4.Art Academies: many institutions like MULTIDAMS of Turin, the school of Art and Media of Tampere or the Brera Academy of Art in Milan has a double role: public places for experimentation (and so contamination between technology and art) and possible producers of demonstrations and examples of use, artist and collaborators.
User side goals:
1.Make Mediainlinux a better looking distribution: the look of Mediainlinux is a key aspect of the whole project. The more the distribution will be stylish (from the cd to the manual, from the Internet site to an exhibition stand) in the design and in its graphic and artistic ideas, the more it will gain success between the Linux Artists and the Macintosh community. Then we need to surpass the look of proprietary systems, using all the widgets that can simulate the most stylish looking applets and so we must need graphics to create icons, desktop themes, wallpapers, screen savers and audio video materials (like desktop sounds or video tutorials).
2.Make Mediainlinux simpler: we need to do more integration between different applications, in the way that for a .ogg vorbis file we will have a contextual menu to play, edit, record it etc. etc. This should be done for most of the file formats in the multimedia field and its an operation very intensive of configuring, programming, experimenting and daily use.
3.Make better configuration tools: most of all we need a good configuration of auto mounter to create automatically the icons of peripherals on the desktop.
4.Documentation: we need a manual for the primary applications (mostly done) and its translation in English, French, Spanish and German.
5.Training: we are organizing many courses on subsystems included in Mediainlinux and especially for audio and video streaming, 2D and 3D graphic, musical composition and less common training lessons in multimedia installations and physical and acoustic simulation.
6.Support: make concrete a way to support our users with a mailing list, a forum and a satellite program with tutorials, examples and demonstrations of creativity.
