Email::Store::DBI is a Perl module for database backend to Email::Store.

SYNOPSIS

use Email::Store dbi:...;

This class is a subclass of Class::DBI and contains means for Email::Store-based programs to register what DSN they wish to use. It also provides for building database tables from schemas embedded in the DATA section of plug-in modules, using Class::DBI::DATA::Schema.

"Email::Store" is the ideal basis for any application which needs to deal with databases of email: archiving, searching, or even storing mail for implementing IMAP or POP3 servers.

"Email::Store" itself is a very lightweight framework, meaning it does not provide very much functionality itself; in effect, it is merely a Class::DBI interface to a database schema which is designed for storing email. Incidentally, if you dont know much about "Class::DBI", youre going to need to in order to get much out of this.

Despite its minimalist nature, "Email::Store" is incredibly powerful. Its power comes from its extensibility, through plugin modules and hooks which allow you to add new database tables and concepts to the system, and so access the mail store from a "different direction". In a sense, "Email::Store" is a blank canvas, onto which you can pick and choose (or even write!) the plugins which you want for your application.

For instance, the core "Email::Store::Entity" plugin module addresses the idea of "people" in the email universe, allowing you to search for mails to or from particular people; (despite their changing names or email addresses) "Email::Store::Thread" interfaces "Email::Store" to "Mail::Thread" allowing you to navigate mails by their position in a mail thread; the planned non-core "Email::Store::Plucene" module plugs into the indexing process and stores information about emails in a Plucene search index for quick retrieval later, and so on.

Mknew project is an investigation of how to build simple Unix shell scripts to manage common development and administrative tasks.
The emphasis is on using languages and tools that already exist and are in common use rather than inventing something new. A related emphasis is on exploring the functional programming nature of the bash shell.
This is accomplished by (1) using the bash function capability, and (2) using the bash "$(" ")"syntax to delay function execution in bash scripts. This allows building scripts that have a Lisp like function syntax.
Capturing and factoring the syntax of procedures into bash funtions permits shell scripts to be written as a series of function calls with minimal syntax. A common syntactical pattern in mknew scripts is
verb noun noun noun ...
or, somewhat more precisely,
function argument1 argument2 ...
The goal of mknew is to provide a way to specify make procedures of heterogeneous components in a bash script. These components can include
- diverse source code languages,
- documentation texts,
- test procedures and
- data.
mknew supports the integration of software build procedures with other software development administration procedures, such as unit, integration, and systems testing; distribution; and installation.
In addition to the mknew function library, these "make" procedures rely only on tools provided by the bash shell, and common Unix command line utilities.
Enhancements:
- This release provides new capabilities and further explorations of bash functions.
- This version of mknew supports the deployment of files to arbitrary destinations, and is useful for managing many different types of files, such as configuration files, using a consistent activity pattern.
- Once mknew is installed, an "mkd" file is created in the source file directory, specifying the primary source file types.
- To deploy files, simply type "mk all" at the shell prompt.

Ultimate++ is a cross-platform C++ rapid application development suite.

C++ has the potential to be the most productive language in computing history. Its multiparadigm nature allows the effective development of almost any kind of software, from low level driver code to very high level business logic abstractions.

Unfortunately this potential has been left untapped, due to the lack of truly effective libraries, causing C++ evolution to be stuck somewhere between STL-iterator adaptors and smart-pointers. Ultimate++ finally uncovers this potential....

Ultimate++ includes a set of libraries (GUI, SQL, etc..), and an integrated development environment.

Rapid development is achieved by the smart and aggressive use of C++ rather than through fancy code generators. In this respect, U++ competes with popular scripting languages while preserving C/C++ runtime characteristics.

The U++ integrated development environment, TheIDE, introduces modular concepts to C++ programming. It features BLITZ-build technology to speedup C++ rebuilds up to 4 times, Visual designers for U++ libraries, Topic++ system for documenting code and creating rich text resources for applications (like help and code documentation) and Assist++ - a powerful C++ code analyzer that provides features like code completion, navigation and transformation.

TheIDE can work with GCC, MinGW and Visual C++ 7.1 or 8.0 compilers (including free Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 and Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition) and contains a full featured debugger. TheIDE can also be used to develop non-U++ applications.

U++ distributions combine U++ with 3rd party tools like MinGW compiler or SDL library to provide an instant development platform.

What you can get with the Ultimate++ download in plain English

- Very effective C++ library for cross-platform development in source form.
- A good integrated development environment, designed for developing large C++ applications.

You can use both, or you can use whatever you need.

MARGO project is an Argumentation Framework for decision making. A logic language is used as a concrete data structure for holding the statements like knowledge, goals, and actions. Different priorities are attached to these items corresponding to the reliability of the knowledge, the users preferences, and the credibility of alternatives.
These concrete data structures consist of information providing the backbone of arguments. Due to the abductive nature of decision making, we built arguments by reasoning backwards. Moreover, arguments are defined as tree-like structures.
In this way, MARGO can be used as a Decision Support System, suggesting some solutions, as other classical approaches, but also providing an interactive and intelligible explanation of this choice.
Enhancements:
- In order to evaluate the previous statements, all relevant pieces of information should be taken into account, such as the likelihood of beliefs, the preferences between goals, or the expected utilities of the alternatives.
- In the previous version, these priorities were qualitatives, i.e order relations classifying the elements from the "best" to the "worst".
- However, such qualitative information is not enough in many practical applications.
- Alternatively, this version allows quantitative priorities which are expressed by a valuation function over rules, called confidence.

System Monitor Theme that started out as a High-Tech one, then devolved into this low-tech broken typewriter version.

I love the chaotic nature of it.

This is my 1st theme, please critique!

nettop is a program top like which shows the different packet types. Possibly useful to determine the nature of packets on a given network and how much bandwidth they are using. I started this my freshman year in college for a networking class final project. Feed back and ideas would be greatly appreciated. A Redhat RPM of 0.2.3 has been made available thanks to Andrew Pam.
You need to have libpcap and slang installed to run this program. You can obtain these packages at the following urls:
ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slang/
http://www.tcpdump.org/release/
Right now it isnt very portible at all, and doesnt use autoconf. There are also a lot more features that could be added, but i dont have the time or insperation right now. If you find this at all useful and have comments, patches, or just want to let me know that you use it and would apprisiate more features and stuff, id be glad to hear from you.
Enhancements:
- nettop now reads from the /etc/services and /etc/protocols files
- udp ports are now shown
- installation scripts improvements
- indented code
