Xournal is an application for notetaking, sketching, keeping a journal using a stylus. Xournal is free software (GNU GPL) and runs on Linux (recent distributions) and other GTK+/Gnome platforms.

It is similar to Microsoft Windows Journal or to other alternatives such as Jarnal and Gournal.

Xournal aims to provide superior graphical quality (subpixel resolution) and overall functionality; however it lacks the collaborative features of Jarnal. Since Xournal is still in its early development stages, it may not be fully stable, and some features have not been implemented yet.

XLSperl module allows you to use Perl "one-liners" with Microsoft Excel files.

SYNOPSYS

XLSperl [options] -e ... file1.xls file2.xls ... fileX.xls
cat file.txt | XLSperl [options] -e ...

Perl "one-liners" have a great many uses for quick data processing tasks, often replacing the UNIX tools grep, sed, and awk. For example, a simple "grep" function can be written as:

perl -lne /pattern/ and print file.txt

which improves on the standard grep function by allowing the extended features of Perl regular expressions to be used.
However, this form of processing is only suitable for data that can be read (or needs to be written) in plain text format. XLSperl lets you use the same commands to process and create Microsoft Excel files, e.g. the following command will "grep" an Excel document:

XLSperl -lne /pattern/ and print file.xls

Usage:

Basic usage of XLSperl is as follows:

XLSperl [options] -e perl_code file1.xls file2.xls ... fileX.xls

Additionally Microsoft Excel files can be piped in to XLSperl

cat file.xls | XLSperl [options] -e perl_code

Kexi is an integrated environment for managing data. Kexi project helps in creating database schemas, inserting, querying and processing data.

As Kexi is a real member of the KDE and KOffice projects, it integrates fluently into both. It is designed to be fully usable also without KDE on Linux/Unix and MS Windows platforms (Mac OS X version planned).

Kexi is also considered as long awaited MS Access replacement.

Free60 Gentoo LiveCD Xenon is a liveCD for Linux on the Xbox 360. It is based on the experimental gentoo liveCD that can be found here:
http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/experimental/ppc64/livecd/
It has a few changes to boot on the Xbox 360 (codename xenon).
How does it work ?
Burn gentoo-livecd-xenon-beta-v2.iso. Upload the cdreader binary via serial, or use the new king kong patcher with built-in readcd code, this will open the dvd tray. Put the gentoo-livecd-xenon-beta CD in the drive. cdreader will automatically start the xell bootloader located at lba 0x20 on this cd and boot the Linux Kernel.
Thanks to stonersmurf for the compilation of the liveCD.
