LibBand is a simple library wrapper written in assembly and C (but I plan to rewrite everything in C) useful if you want to limit the bandwidth used by a program.
It simply overrides some libc functions, using the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, and puts some pauses in the program to clamp the bandwidth at the specified value, for both upload and download operations.
You just have to set UPLOAD_BAND and DOWNLOAD_BAND and run your program, for example:
export LD_PRELOAD=/replace-with-the-path/to/libband.so
export UPLOAD_BAND=1024
export DOWNLOAD_BAND=8192
ftp somewhere.com
The bandwidth must be expressed in bytes/s, and so in the above example, we want the upload band clamped at 1.0 kb/s, the download band at 8.0 kb/s.
Theres a small utility in the scripts/ directory, called lb: you can use it to set everything and start your program from a nice whiptail/dialog environment.
You need NASM to build the binary (but dont worry, a pre-assembled version is included in the package).
Just type "make" to compile, and "make install" to install the library.
Remember that $HOME/lib is the default installation directory, so you usually have to export LD_PRELOAD by using:
export LD_PRELOAD=$HOME/lib/libband.so
The "lb" script is configured to work with this path, but you may change it by editing the script itself (search for the LIBPATH variable).
Please note that at the moment libBand DOESNT WORK with multithreaded and _graphic_ applications.
Enhancements:
- We keep track of sockets by wrapping socket(), accept() and close(). The old fstat() mechanism has been obsoleted.

libvarexp is a C++ library that allows its users to detach any kind of information from the representation of that information by providing a simple-to-use but powerful text-template mechanism.

Similar mechanisms have been available in tools like sh(1), make(1), or perl(1) forever and have proven to be very useful.

The basic idea is that the relevant information is made available in variables, which the author of the template can than use within the text itself as he or she sees fit.

Consider, for example, a tool that will calculate the monthly financial reports of a small company.

Such a program should only calculate the required values, it should not worry about writing the resulting reports into an HTML file, a CSV file, or whatever format is desired. Instead, it should make the results of the calculation available in the variables "$TURNOVER", "$PROFIT", and "$INCREASE".

Then, using libvarexp, it could load an arbitrary template file and have the actual values inserted at the apropriate positions. Without changing a single line of code, one could generate the monthly report in HTML

mCube Music Manager project is a digital music manager. The target is to let user manage and choose music to listen with the comfort and feeling of browsing physical compact disc and with the power of computer aided search, sort and categorization.
Main features:
- Folders synchronization: add a folder to mCube Library and you never need to worry about it anymore.
- Tagging System allows to build a categorization that evolves with the library and with user needs. Tag Cosmos allow you to navigate through your tags easily
- Many different Views for displaying Artists, Albums, Tracks or your Compilations. You can build your own page with the view you like in the way you like.
- Quick search box to filter all library a la iTunes/Firefox/Thunderbird
- Edit Album Information and automatically update file tag
- Easy filter for different album types (Live, Sountrack...) and support for multiple CDs albums
- Export selected songs or albums to an external folder: youll never need to use File Managers anymore!
- Play songs or albums with default system player.
- mCube is open source and, of course, free!

Midge is a linux mini-distribution for ADM5120 based routers, such as Edimax BR-6104K.
Also midge uses ipkg package manager, which can be used for installing new software.
Midge divided to 3 versions: jffs2, tmpfs and usb - difference on which root filesystem is used.
- jffs2 version uses jffs2 root filesystem (of course). It has small (~512k) initial rom filesystem, and big (~800k) filesystem for user data. It can be used on system which have some services (micro servers) and/or if you want install custom software. Advantage of jffs2 filesystem is a journal filesystem - you can do not worry about rootfs safety.
- tmpfs version uses tmpfs root filesystem. It has big (1280k) initial rom filesystem, and small (256k) data partition. It can be used on typical routers.
- usb1) version uses root filesystem on usb storage (USB-Flash, USB-HDD).
Enhancements:
- This release adds an upstream update (OpenWrt kamikaze), more modular firmware, USB-Storage support, and bugfixes.

PHP-IRC is a modular IRC bot written in PHP5 with a combination of object based/oriented programming. PHP-IRC operates under several different platforms with the purpose of automating common information related tasks on IRC.
There are two main reasons that PHP was selected as the primary language. First off, I wanted to provide novice programmers a way to code their own functions and abilities into a powerful platform without having to worry about such things as memory management and compilers.
Secondly, I wanted to do something that no one has done before--create a fully featured bot in php. I dont know if I will ever complete the second objective, but I will keep on developing, as it will always be the main goal of this project.
Main features:
- DCC Chat Support with custom DCC Chat handlers
- DCC File transfer support (inc. mIRC Rev. Protocol)
- Modular based function support
- Event based, with user-definable event handling
- Full support for timers
- Channel and user tracking, with user modes and count
- Multiple bots under one process
- Remote admin via DCC Chat or private message
- MySQL support
- Very in-depth documentation
- ... and much more!

Xsnow application is the X-windows application that will let it snow on the root, in between and on windows.
Santa and his reindeer will complete your festive-season feeling.
How to compile:
To build:
xmkmf
make depend
make
To run:
./xsnow
or:
./xsnow& (in the background)
To install (be root):
make install
make install.man
If xmkmf does not work and you cannot get a working Makefile that way then try compiling yourself, eh, xsnow this way:
cc -o xsnow snow.c -lXext -lX11 -lXpm -lm -lsocket -lnsl
gcc, SUN Solaris users without a C-compiler, but with gcc installed, try the following two commands. The first compiles Xsnow, the second links Xsnow.
gcc -c -O2 -I/usr/openwin/include -DSVR4 -DSYSV xsnow.c
gcc -o xsnow xsnow.o -O2 -L/usr/openwin/lib -lXext -lX11 -lXpm -lm -lsocket -lnsl
Note: Xsnow-1.41 needs the Xpm library. It is available from:
ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/libraries/
The current Xpm version is xpm3.4k
Enhancements:
- All you KDE-users can now be even happier with a KDE-enabled Xsnow 1.42!
- The snow will magnificently wipe out your icons, but not to worry, theyre not really gone.
- By wiping with a window or something you can make them reappear.
- Car owners are used to this for years. Thanks to Robin Hogan who figured this out for xpenguin.
