Using
To use Red-Piranha - open your favourite web browser and point it at http://localhost:8080/RP . Within a few seconds , you should see the Red-Piranha start screen. This will have three items of interest
- A Text box , where we enter the information to add or search
- An add information button - to tell Red-Piranha about new information
- A Search button - to carry out a search.
Before we can search , we must tell Red-Piranha we information we are interested in. This is as easy as putting the piece of information we want to add (e.g. the folder c:temp) in the search box and pressing the Add information button. A message will be displayed saying that your information is being added and will be available to search shortly. For more information , look in the logs at TOMCAT_HOMEWebappsRPlogsrp.log
Examples of things we can add to Red-Piranha are
- A folder (e.g. C:Temp). All files in both this folder and *all* its subfolders will be added.
- An individual file. This file can be text , a web page , a word document , or pdf document. For binary files (like word , which are not plain text) , Red-Piranha will scan the file for recognizable text and add that.
- A Web page. Red-Piranha will add this web page , *and* web pages it links to.
- A Google Search (e.g. http://www.google.com/search?q=some+thing?m=100). Red-Piranha will get the results of the google search , and add information on the pages it links to.
- An XML file (including RSS feeds) , either on disk or over the web.
- Favourites / Bookmarks folders - Red-Piranha will index the web pages that these favourites point to.
Adding information can take anything from a few milliseconds , depending on the amount of information being added. Once added, Red-Piranha will check on a regular basis to see if the information added has changed and re-index if required. Your information is now available to be searched.
To do a search , put the item you want to search for into the textbox and press search. Red-Piranha will show the search results on the screen. Clicking on the link beside the search results will show you the original information (as long as you have access to it).
From version 0.3 onwards , Red-Piranha can learn what search results you are interested in an improve your future searches. To give Red-Piranha feedback and help it learn what you are interested in , click on any of the links on the search results page. Red-Piranha makes a note of your choice , which is used to adjust the search results later.

remerge is a simple browser-based interface to Gentoo Linuxs Portage and Novells Red Carpet package management systems.
It supports installation, uninstallation, and upgrading of many different packages.
Enhancements:
- An installation script glitch was fixed.

Tao Linux (pronounced dow Linux) is a project to build a free Linux distribution from the sources used in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux product line.
The target market is either experienced system administrators who would like freely available binaries of this code, or end users who are interested in experimenting with enterprise functionality.
Besides being mostly compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, it also includes software packages such as Eclipse and clustering tools not found in the base RHEL products.
Main features:
- Includes gcj-compiled Eclipse IDE
- Includes clustering tools
- Yum with protectbase patch for safer use of 3rd-party repos
- Supports ACLs in ext3, nfs and Samba
- Many packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux also run on Tao Linux
- Free as in speech and beer
- Security updates (in SRPM form, at least) available into 2008

Snoopy vs. the Red Baron is an open-source one/two player combat game, available for Mac OS X, Linux, BeOS, QNX and Windows.
The original Snoopy was a tiny game for the Apple Macintosh, with black and white graphics, but already almost all the levels of the new Snoopy/SDL were implemented.
Snoopy could be played by two opponents, sharing a single screen and keyboard, and although it had poor graphics and tough controls, we very much liked to play it.
While we learned programming, we constantly sought for simple, yet interesting projects. If you have ever tried to learn a new language or API, you will have recognized that the simplest way in mastering the stuff is simply reprogramming an existing application, without losing much thought on design and originality.
So my friend reprogrammed Snoopy, in Object Pascal, using SAT, the Sprite Animation Toolkit, on his Classic II. That version of Snoopy features a fully functional AI, network play, but only the first level ( weapons drop).
While he was at it, he also implemented a "missing feature", the bombs, for which there where graphics and sounds in the game, but which could not be thrown.
When I discovered SDL, I recognized that it would be ideal for the job. Running on Windows, Linux, MacOS, BeOS and many other platforms, it is my new toolkit of choice for multimedia programming. It took us several weeks to port Snoopy (besides going to school, but now the work is almost done, with only the finishing touches to be made.
I can only encourage everyone to try SDL; it is really easy and portable (if worked right).

Command Line Content Management System is my own command line content management system. Its not a dynamic cms, but a script that takes a source tree and creates a web site out of it.
The idea came to me when i was using m4 for my website to generate the HTML, but i did not like the idea that i was still typing HTML in my pages, even if it was simplified by using macros. I was updating a wiki page somewhere when it hit me: i wanted a command line system that was able to take wiki style input for page content. The result is clcms.
Its in beta state at the moment, mostly to try out some different approaches to various
challenges. But i thought id share it now, so if youre interested and might have some ideas on where to go from here, drop me a line (or a patch). At least it can build this site and the tutorial site, but anything more fancy will probably not work.
Its also a way for me to learn Python, so i might in my ignorance produce some weird constructs here and there. Please let me know, but be gentle.
Main features:
- Updates should be possible with a terminal and an editor
- Content is stored in a directory tree
- Adding pages (or items?) should be as easy as creating a new file and typing some lines in it.
- For default pages/items no config necessary
- No HTML, XML or anything alike for normal usage
- All pages have their binary content (images, download files) in the directory of the page itself
- All output is static, no generating on the fly
Usage:
After untarring the tarball, add < dir>/bin to your path or copy bin/clcms.py to a directory in your path.
You can now go to < dir>/examples/documentation and build the tutorial by running
clcms.py
Now wasnt that easy?
Point your browser to file://< dir>/examples/documentation/out/index.html and see the result of all your hard work.
If it did not work, its not your fault. Just remember that version number.
Enhancements:
- .page files can now contain content attributes.
- Filename extensions are removed and replaced by attribute lines in .page files.
- The page.meta file should now be called page.attr.
- The nomenu option had disappeared in a previous release, and has been put back.

mpgedit is an MPEG 1 layer 1/2/3 (mp3), MPEG 2, and MPEG 2.5 audio file editor that is capable of processing both Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and Variable Bit Rate (VBR) encoded files.
Since no file decoding / encoding occurs during editing, there is no audio quality loss when editing with mpgedit.
When editing VBR files that have a XING header, mpgedit updates the output files XING header information to reflect the new file size and average bit rate.
mpgedit operates in two modes: a command line and a curses-based, full-screen interactive shell. All editing functionality is available in both modes. The chief advantage of the interactive mode comes when using the playback feature for selection and verification of edit begin and end times, which is more rapidly performed interactively.
xmpgedit provides most of the same editing capabilities as the curses-mode mpgedit, but adds a graphical representation of the volume levels of mp3 file being being edited.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes an occasional crash in xmpgedit when adjusting the volume after playback has stopped.
- mpgedit playto start time is fixed, which would play beyond the specified edit time in some circumstances.
- The command "Copy start time" has been added to the xmpgedit edit menu.
- mpgedit playback and editing with the -I option is fixed, which would frequently repeat up to a second of material at the start of the edit.
