Config Maker is a tool to automatically create C++ classes that parse configuration files.

Only a few lines of text that describe the possible entries in the configuration file are needed, and the complete class will be generated ready for use.

Basic usage

The input files for Config Maker have a very simple structure (in ANTLR/grep like notation):

objectname (configentry)+
Each configentry looks like this
type entryname defaultvalue (comment)?

type

Type of the entry, can be int, double, string or bool. If the basic type is followed by any number, the corresponding c++object variable will be of type vector < basic type > The number is the initial number of elements that are allocated for the vector, but the actual configuration file can contain more components. These are added using the push_back method.

If there are less elements specified in the configuration file, the object variable will still contain the number of elements specified here. No warning will be issued.
configentry

Name of the entry and corresponding variable. Has to be at least two characters long and can contain characters and numbers. Case insensitive.

defaultvalue

Default value for the entry. This is optional.

comment

Each comment starts with // and is completely ignored

TagCloud Maker Class is a class that takes a single dimensional array of terms and outputs a piece of HTML with each term wrapped in a span tag with an ID that you can define in your CSS.

TagCloud Maker Class script can be called either as an object or as a static class.

Check out the example page. The keywords from the sample page come from the last 30 entries of my blog. Ill admit I cheated and just open the database and pull them from there instead of trying to call my blog w/curl or fopen and parse it. (Although that would have been cooler.) I then ran each blog entry against Yahoos Term Extraction API to get the terms. Then I pumped that array into my new TagCloud maker. The important code you cant see from the index.php is below.


require_once(TagCloud.php);
$x = TagCloud::fetch_cloud($thisArray,...,tagcloud_,http://www.technorati.com/tags/%s);
$o = new TagCloud($thisArray,...,tagcloud_,http://www.technorati.com/tags/%s,10,weight,2);
$o->get_cloud();
$y = $o->output_cloud;

As you can see, I used 2 different methods of creating the 2 lists. The first is just calling the object::method statically with all the necessary parameters. This is by far the easiest way to use this class and unless you need something special, its the way I recommend. The second way it to instantiate an object. I pass all the variables into the constructor but you could just as easily use the setters to set them all. (dont know why you would but hey, I spent an extra 15 minutes creating getters and setters so use them, by all means use them!)

The xterm program is the standard terminal emulator for the X Window System. xterm patch provides DEC VT102/VT220 and Tektronix 4014 compatible terminals for programs that cant use the window system directly.
If the underlying operating system supports terminal resizing capabilities (for example, the SIGWINCH signal in systems derived from 4.3bsd), xterm will use the facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever it is resized.
I decided to work on this in early 1995, to support ded and add (and incidentally ncurses) in the X environment. Several people had made modifications to xterm to support color, but none (except for the completely independent rxvt) implemented background color erase. That is rather like preferring MS-DOS to UNIX. Completely mystifying.
Being bogged down in ncurses, I didnt get involved in xterm until the very end of 1995, after working on atac.
I implemented a workable version of colorized xterm just at the point where XFree86 3.1.2B was announced, complete with a color xterm. As luck would have it, theyd incorporated the "old" color model. So I joined the XFree86 project to fix it.
As I learned more about xterm, I realized that it implemented part of VT220 (i.e., the locking shifts for extended character sets). Since a number of people on the Internet are looking for a good VT220 emulator, it seemed a natural follow-on project to make xterm a good VT220 emulator.
By the release of XFree86 3.2, I had implemented most of the control sequences, except for a handful (DECSTR, the KAM and SRM modes, the ones pertaining to doublesize and soft characters, and of course, blink).
Enhancements:
- The script for installing a man page in a UTF- 8 locale has been fixed.

List::Maker is a Perl module that can generate more sophisticated lists than just $a..$b.

SYNOPSIS

use List::Maker;

@list = < 1..10 >; # (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)

@list = < 10..1 >; # (10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1)

@list = < 1,3,..10 > # (1,3,5,7,9)
@list = < 1..10 x 2 > # (1,3,5,7,9)

@list = < 0..10 : prime N >; # (2,3,5,7)
@list = < 1,3,..30 : /7/ > # (7,17,27)

@words = < a list of words >; # (a, list, of, words)
@words = < a list "of words" >; # (a list, of words)

The List::Maker module hijacks Perls built-in file globbing syntax (< *.pl > and glob *.pl) and retargets it at list creation.

The rationale is simple: most people rarely if ever glob a set of files, but they have to create lists in almost every program they write. So the list construction syntax should be easier than the filename expansion syntax.

By submitting the questions that you come up with, you agree to the following:
The Legal:
1. You expect no royalty fees or other payment for Pariahware, Inc. using your questions in the game.
2. Any parts of the questions you submit may be altered at will by the members of Pariahware, Inc.

4. If your name is included in your e-mail, Pariahware, Inc. has the right to add it as an acknowledgement, unless otherwise noted. You will not be paid as a result of having your name listed.
The How To:
1. Make sure that the Got Word DB Maker application and the "qanda.rsd" file are in the same folder or the program will not work.
2. Double-click the Got Word DB Maker application icon.
3. Select the radio button in the lower-left-hand corner that says "Add new question".
4. There are five text fields. The large one on the top is for the question. The other four are for potential answers. All of these need to be filled.
5. The correct answer needs to be selected by the "drop down" in the upper-right-hand corner.
6. The book of the Bible, in which the question is referencing, needs to be selected in the upper-left-hand corner.
7. Below the book selection is value (points) for the question. This needs to be selected as well.
8. When all of this has been done, the "Save New Question" button will activate. Click it to save your question.

KTouch is a program for learning how to touch-type. KTouch is FREE software and offers you an easy way to learn to type on a keyboard quickly and correctly. Every finger has its place on the keyboard with associated keys to press.
Starting with only a few keys to remember you will advance through the levels of the training lecture while more and more keys are introduced. And finally you will be able to type very fast and accurate, because you no longer need to search for the keys on the keyboard (and because you will definitely use more then just two fingers).
KTouch shows the keys you need to press and the finger you need to use for that key on the screen. You neednt to look down on the keyboard to search the key. Therefore you will get used to looking at the screen only and thus you will learn touch typing much faster.
Main features:
- KTouch supports various keyboard layouts and you can easily add own keyboard layouts
- A number of training lectures are included by default (english, german, french ... etc)
- You can add and modify training lectures using the built-in lecture editor
- Detailed training statistics help you to find possible typing problems (keys that you typed wrong very often)
- The program calculates typing speed and your accuracy on-the-fly and displays them while you type
- Many settings (including the colour scheme of the program) can be modified by the user
- During training the level can be adjusted automatically according to your typing skill: if you type fast and correctly you will move a level up, otherwise stay in the level or even move down. So you will learn touch typing like playing a game.

Patch provided by Gavin:
In trying to help a linux user group member compile ktouch 1.6.0
standalone version, I encountered a few errors.
o Only version 2.5 of autoconf was acceptable, 2.6 not allowed
o autoconf was checked for in --version output of the autoheader check
o ktouch/keyboards/Makefile.am had a trailing slash but no new line
Some minor changes all resulted in a successful `make -f Makefile.cvs`
Ive attached these changes in the patch attached and in a modified tar.gz.
I also noted that there are some .svn directories in the release. You
probably already know but, svn export will help you with that.
