Free light speed software for linux

Light Speed! project is an interactive relativistic simulator.
Light Speed! is an OpenGL-based program which illustrates the effects of special relativity on the appearance of moving objects.
When an object accelerates past a few million meters per second, these effects begin to grow noticeable, becoming more and more pronounced as the speed of light is approached.
These relativistic effects are viewpoint-dependent, and include shifts in length, object hue, brightness and shape.
Main features:
- Real-time interactive viewing
- 3D object importer
- Snapshot exporter
- Special Relativity Scene (SRS) exporter
- Reference geometry
- Independent toggles for the four relativistic effects
- Numerical camera location + target readout and input
- Switchable background color

Light is yet another Mozilla-based browser. Features very simple non-bloated GTK+ interface, familiar Netscape 4.x keyboard shortcuts, context menus, etc. Tested with Mozilla 0.9.6 and newer. Supports Java/SSL/downloads/queue downloads to an external download manager.

The goal of this project is to have a usable, fast browser for reading news, searching bugzilla, etc. There are no binary packages, and I do not plan to provide them anytime soon. Compiling Light from source requires Mozilla 0.9.6+ and Mozilla headers.

Carefully read README and INSTALL, and read manual.html in the doc/ directory for explanation of how things are done and why. may work but this is unsupported. Bug reports are welcome, but requests to implement a Cookie Editor are not.

Light Hawk is a KDE Jabber client. It is unfinished, but I have been using it every day for some time now.
Those interested in following or helping development should use GNU arch 1.2 or later. My archive is neil@hakubi.us--terminus and is available at http://www.hakubi.us/arch/terminus/. The branch to get is lighthawk--mainline.
To compile the arch version of Light Hawk you will also need to get neil@hakubi.us--terminus/admin--KDE-3-0-BRANCH and symlink that into the top level of lighthawk as "admin".
After that its mostly an ordinary KDE application (run gmake -f Makefile.cvs to get a configure script). You must run that configure script in a separate directory, though, arch to cooperate later.
Main features:
- Roster management
- Subscriptions
- Chat messages
- Receving normal messages
- Multiple user profiles
- Session management cooperation
- Logging
- KNotify support (including sounds)
- Invisible status
- Away messages
- IPv6, Proxies, and other KDE network features

light-monitor is a transparent panel that depends only on X and Xft. The project comes with light-calendar, a simple, transparent, and lightweight calendar.
These two programs are written to consume the lowest possible amount of resources.
Main features:
- vol Manages the volume (pcm and vol). To change the current volume just clic on it or use the mouse-wheel.
- cpufreq Manages the scaling_governor : blue means powersave, blue and green means ondemand, and blue green and red stands for performance. To change to the next one, just clic on the processor
- load Shows the current load on the system and the processor temperature
- time Shows the time
- date Shows the date
- network Shows the cumulative bandwidth over all network interfaces except lo. It is hidden if current upload and download are null
- ac Shows if the power supply is plugged for laptop
- battery Shows the current percentage of remaining charge in the battery if it is not full. IF ac is unplugged, it shows an estimation of the remaining time too.
Light-calendar
light-calendar is a simple, transparent, and lightweight calendar (12Ko). It is distributed under the license GPLv2.
To see the next month, click on the right arrow. The previous month is accessible using the left one. To come back to the current month, use the o between the two arrows. You can move it by dragging it outside those buttons.
Enhancements:
- The semantic of buttons were changed.
- Now when a button is clicked, its window is redrawn.
- A bug in the config file reader that sometimes duplicated the last widget was fixed.
- The cpufreq applet is now more reactive.
- The README was updated.

Moonlight|3D program strives to become a free modern, flexible, feature-rich and extensible modelling and animation tool. Our goal is to provide a tool that is capapble of turning even the most advanced and challenging projects of artists and technical artists into reality.
We understand that this project is by its very nature a huge undertaking which takes large amounts of time and effort to get started. However, this does not scare us off.
We have chosen to make clean design, good usability and solid implementation of features our highest priority goals and we have already successfully, albeit slowly pursued that road for several years.
In order to speed up the progress of our development efforts we open up the project to the general public and we hope to attract the support of many developers and users, bringing the project forward faster.
Main features:
- plugin-based architecture
- all user actions on the 3D scene remain editable
- complete support for automation through python scripts
- completely configurable user interface layout
- basic mesh editing functionality
Enhancements:
- This new preview version is available in binary form for Linux/x86, Linux/x86_64, and Windows.
- The focus of this release is on improving support for Win32.
- The different transformation and extrude tools were unified.
- The light source types spherical and spot light were added.
- Tools for mesh triangulation and Catmull-Clark subdivision and importers and exporters for Wavefront .OBJ and Ogre XML mesh formats were added.

kopete-thinklight is a Kopete plugin lets a thinkpads light flash on every incoming message. The flash interval as well as the flash duration are configurable through a GUI plugin.

The kopete-thinklight plugin was inspired by gaim-lightthink [http://www.chris-lamb.co.uk/code/gaim-lightthink].

Night Light IRC Proxy or ircproxy in short, is a multi-user IRC (Internet Relay Chat) proxy written in C for UNIX compatible systems.
If you do not know what IRC is, then IRC proxy probably isnt for you. A IRC proxy is a program which works like a client and server, you connect to it with your IRC client and it connects you to the chosen server.
This way you are protected behind the machine running the IRC proxy, connecting through a proxy will hide your machines IP-address from other users on IRC.
More simply explained, the IRC proxy will forward data sent by the IRC server to one or more IRC clients connected to the ircproxy, and forward data sent by the IRC clients to the IRC server.
The IRC proxy can also keep your connection to IRC alive even when you disconnect from the IRC proxy.
This IRC proxy is very flexible, it allows to configure multiple ports for listening, access by hostname or IP-address, multiple users and multiple connections and a optional ident server.
This is all done through the following configuration files:
- A listen configuration file (listen.conf) where you specify what hosts and ports users can connect to.
- A access configuration file (access.conf), where you specify which IP-addresses or hostnames users can connect to the ircproxy from.
- A optional user configuration file (user.conf) (with optional encrypted passwords), where you specify usernames/password allowed that IRC clients must send to get access.
- A connection configuration file (conn.conf) where the actual IRC connections to IRC servers is specified, each connection is owned by a specific user defined in user.conf.
The ircproxy can compile and run successfully on most UNIX systems. It has been successfully compiled and installed on FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Linux, Solaris, OSF1, HP-UX, AIX and Windows (Cygwin).
What exactly can ircproxy do?
Share your internet connection.
If you dont have direct access to the internet but another machine (router or server) on the network has internet access. You can share the internet connection using a this ircproxy for IRC access. Even your already using NAT, SOCKS or a forwarding proxy, ircproxy is probably preffered because it will allow you to have ident on IRC, and different ident can be replied for different users.
Get your own hostname from a shell ISP or hide your host behind a server.
If your internet service provider does not allow you to have a static IP with your own hostname, or you simply want to hide your real host. You can buy shell access from a ISP and eventually buy your own IP-address from the ISP to use with ircproxy.
Keep your IRC connection alive even when you disconnect with your IRC client.
If you have a dial up connection but want your client connected to IRC 24/7, you can install ircproxy on a server. This ircproxy will keep the IRC connection alive after you disconnect from the ircproxy with your IRC client.
Restrict data sent to the IRC server to prevent flooding the IRC server.
Solve problems getting disconnected with "Excess Flood", possible cause for this is that someone is flooding you with CTCPs or similar. This ircproxy will restrict you from sending data faster to the IRC server then the IRC server will allow. It will simply queue the data you send and keep it until the IRC server is ready to take more data without disconnecting you. However the queue is also restricted, there is a max sendQ, if it is reached your IRC client will be disconnected but the connection to the IRC server still stay alive.
One connection to IRC from more then one machine at the same time.
With ircproxy you can be connected to IRC from two or more machines at the same time without more then one connection to the IRC server. This ircproxy will allow you to resume a IRC server connection from more then one machine at the same time.
