persistence of vision
subPersistence 0.10.0
subPersistence is an abstract, light-weight, yet flexible framework for working with O/R persistence mappers. more>>
While you can use Hibernate or Castor (or other O/R mappers) directly, coupling your application too tightly to those can be a bad thing. subPersistence makes it easy to switch underlying O/R mappers, thereby decoupling the application layer from those.
It abstracts away differences between the mappers, while still making it possible to use their specific features if needed.
Enhancements:
- This version updates to Java 5 features such as Generics and is the first version to require Hibernate 3.
Tunnel Vision 1.0
TunnelVision creates an encrypted VirtualPrivateNetwork, or VPN, between two Tunnel Vision-capable sites on the Internet. more>>
TunnelVision creates an encrypted VirtualPrivateNetwork?, or VPN, between two Tunnel Vision-capable sites on the Internet. Realistically, that means sites with a Linux server running TunnelVision or with a WorldvisionsWeaver? or NetIntegrator acting as their Internet gateway.
TunnelVision requires a Linux 2.2.x kernel or later for running properly. Were sorry about that, but we wanted to use the new features.
Enhancements:
- Also known as 0.70pre2.
- Lots of underlying library changes as WvStreams v2 was debugged.
- A new way of handling strings and lists makes things prettier.
- Several bug fixes resulting from the use of our new stresstest program.
- Connections regenerate themselves after the 10-minute idle timeout.
- All known bugs have been eliminated.
Lexical::Persistence 0.97
Lexical::Persistence is a Perl module for persistent lexical variable values for arbitrary calls. more>>

my $persistence = Lexical::Persistence->new();
foreach my $number (qw(one two three four five)) {
$persistence->call(&target, number => $number);
}
exit;
sub target {
my $arg_number; # Argument.
my $narf_x++; # Persistent.
my $_i++; # Dynamic.
my $j++; # Persistent.
print "arg_number = $arg_numbern";
print "tnarf_x = $narf_xn";
print "t_i = $_in";
print "tj = $jn";
}
Simple persistence for Java 2.2.0
Simple persistence for Java is an object/relation mapping framework for Java. more>>
There are no XML files to write, no tables to create, no IDs to generate, and no primary keys to fiddle with; just point it to the database, check the API documentation for three basic methods, and code away.
Simple persistence for Java supports transactions, has its own simple query language (very similar to SQL), and can handle object references, lists, and maps.
You may ask: Why another O/R mapping library? Well.. Ive searched the net for a suitable O/R tool for a long time now, also tried a few in live projects, but each time, at the end of the project, I had always had a few thoughts to simplify the database interaction code. Ive started with EJB around 2000. Now, I think everyone who used EJBs also at least once wondered why saveing a friggin object requires a separate server installation, the extensive knowledge of a 200+ page documentation, generating 3 classes/interfaces per object, installing stubs, rmi, and other things I dont even want to know about. Lets just skip this chapter of my life directly to my last experience with an O/R library: pbeans. This library is generally good, I can recommend it for those, who want a stable O/R mapping tool, but it was not the one for me. I found a few points I couldnt get over:
- Save and insert should be one method. I usually dont care if an object is inserted or saved phisically, as long as its saved.
- It should handle Lists and Maps. Well, "Lists should be enough for everybody", but sometimes Maps are handy too. Lists are used very often, I think it should be handled automatically.
- The query code is too difficult, and at the same time does not offer enough features.
- The code you have to write wont be "pretty". It requires classes to be parameters, at least for queries, and I cant read the query itself.
- The Id handling is not transparent.
Enhancements:
- A major scalability feature has been added: the library is now capable of working in a distributed environment, such as load-balanced Web server clusters.
- All the library nodes connected to the same database will form a self-regulating, self-organizing, failure-tolerant network to manage exclusive resources (such as locks, etc).
- The documentation and site were updated accordingly.
Persistent::DBI 0.50
Persistent::DBI is an Abstract Persistent Class implemented using a DBI Data Source. more>>
SYNOPSIS
### we are a subclass of ... ###
use Persistent::DBI;
@ISA = qw(Persistent::DBI);
ABSTRACT
This is an abstract class used by the Persistent framework of classes to implement persistence using DBI data stores. This class provides the methods and interface for implementing Persistent DBI classes. Refer to the Persistent
documentation for a very thorough introduction to using the Persistent
framework of classes.
This class is part of the Persistent DBI package which is available from:
http://www.bigsnow.org/persistent
ftp://ftp.bigsnow.org/pub/persistent
Before we get started describing the methods in detail, it should be noted that all error handling in this class is done with exceptions. So you should wrap an eval block around all of your code. Please see the Persistent documentation for more information on exception handling in Perl.
Turbo Vision 2.1.0
Turbo Vision is a nice and complete console TUI (Text User Interface) library for C++. more>>
The library supports /dev/vcsa devices for fast access to local consoles, and it uses ncurses to run from telnet and xterm. This port, in contrast to the Sigalas port, doesnt have "100% compatibility with the original library" as goal. Instead, many modifications were made for the sake of security (especially buffer overflows).
This port is also available for the original platform (DOS).
Open Source Computer Vision Library 1.0.0
Open Computer Vision Library is a collection of algorithms and sample code for various computer vision problems. more>>

Vision Egg 1.2.1
High level interface between Python and OpenGL. It is also useful for anyone wishing to make use of the features of todays graphics cards. more>>
Vision Egg 1.2.1 brings users the convenience of a high level interface between Python and OpenGL. In addition to methods for automatic generation of traditional visual stimuli such as sinusoidal gratings and random dot patterns, it has a number of functions for moving numeric data, images, movies, text, and 3D objects to and from your video card and allowing use of some of its features like perspective distortion. Therefore, it is also useful for anyone wishing to make use of the features of today's graphics cards.
By harnessing the power of today's consumer graphics cards, producing visual stimuli of research quality now requires no specialized hardware beyond a relatively recent computer and graphics card.
Based on open standards, it runs on anything from cheap PCs to expensive special hardware for special needs. For example, running on some platforms, such as SGI workstations, the Vision Egg has a 10-bit luminance dynamic range (both pixel depth and DAC) and precise frame-by-frame control.
The Vision Egg is open source software (GNU LGPL). Therefore, you can be assured of a product that meets your needs but does not lock you in. Download it today and give it a try!
Major Features:
- Perform experiments using an inexpensive PC and standard consumer graphics card
- Perform experiments using a graphics workstation if special features needed
- Data acquisition and other realtime hardware control capabilities useful in electrophysiology and fMRI experiments, including gaze-contingent stimuli
- Dynamically generated stimuli can be changed in realtime via software or external hardware
- Produce traditional stimuli to replace legacy systems
- Produce stimuli not possible using other hardware
- Demo programs to get you started right away
- Run stimuli on your laptop - great for talks
- Free, open-source software
