Free practice software for linux

Accelerando is a musical metronome that can speed up the music, allowing you to practice your music at progressively faster tempos.
For example, you could set it to play 60 beats per minute for 4 bars, then automatically speed up by 10 beats per minute, and so on.
It runs on Unix. It has dependencies on Perl/Tk, sox, and festival, all of which are available via Debian apt-get. To install it, download and unpack the tarball, and do a "make install".
Enhancements:
- A maximum tempo can be set.
- The tempo will then approach this limit more and more closely without ever going faster than the maximum.

t-prot (TOFU Protection) is a filter which improves the readability of email messages and Usenet posts by hiding some of their annoying parts.
The annoyances it handles include mailing list footers, signatures, TOFU, sequences of blank lines, and repeated punctuation.
TOFU is an acronym that stands for "Text oben, Fullquote unten", a German reference to the practice of adding just a few lines of original text and quoting a complete message below them.
Enhancements:
- A new option was added to skip processing of very large and time-consuming messages.

pam_shield is a PAM module that uses iptables to lock out script kiddies that probe your computer for open logins and/or easy guessable passwords. The project is meant as an aid to protect public computers on the open internet.

Everybody knows it is unwise to leave computers largely unprotected connected to the internet. However, there are cases in which this is still common practice. For exampe, academic sites with hundreds of users often have a policy of allowing logins from over the world. They are under constant attack by "kiddies" trying to break in to the system by password guessing. pam_shield aims to detect and block these "kiddies".

pam_shield was developed by Walter de Jong in 2006 and 2007.

Reclaim your PC!

There is no easier way to learn Linux. See it before you, and then do it yourself. You will learn to use linux by watching easy to understand instructional videos.

Watch movies of all the commands you will need to use linux. Then use the Privare Live Linux CD to practice what you learn. This exclusive, one of a kind tutorial will have you running linux right away.

Whats New in This Release:

ï¿1⁄2 This release adds instructional videos to the ISO.
ï¿1⁄2 Mplayer is compiled without CPU optimization.
ï¿1⁄2 Bugfixes, and a kernel update with more wireless support.

MAC Changer GUI will display and change your MAC address to a user supplied or random value.

Created with kommander 1.3.0. Not sure if it works with previous versions.

Depends on kdialog and must be executed with the kdesu command.

Example:

kdesu kmdr-executor /home/someDIR/mac.kmdr

As this script is executed using root privileges it is good practice to inspect the script for malicious content. With that being said there is nothing in the script that can harm your computer. A reboot will restore your original MAC if you forget its value and want to change it back.

struts timeEntry project is a self training application that developers can use while learning Apaches Struts framework. Often when learning a new language, library or framework, developers find that the example code they are presented with is acedemic and "best case".
They find it difficult to locate real-world case studies in which the language, library or framework have been put into practice.
struts timeEntry stives to be a real-world application that utilizes the struts framework fully. Some project goals include:
- keep all source open
- document the code and explain what/when/why
- keep the application useful in real life
- maintain use of contemporary techniques/technologies
The list of technologies used in this project presently include:
- Sun Microsystems Java EE 5
- Apaches Struts framework
- Apaches Tomcat servlet container
- MySQLs database server
- MySQLs JDBC connector
- Bruno Lowagie & Paulo Soares itext pdf generation library
- GNUs GIMP image manipulation program
- The Eclipse IDE
Enhancements:
- The timeEntryAdmin administration module was added.
- Numerous bugs in the timeEntry client module were revolved.
- Data integrity indexes were added to the database.
- The graphics were updated.

MajorTeach project is a mnemonics practicing tool with documentation.

MajorTeach is a Perl script with documentation that teaches the Major System, a Mnemonics system that allows you to remember (in your brain, without additional hardware) long lists of knowledge (100 to 100,000 items long) in order, as well as long numbers, like tax ID numbers, phone numbers, credit card numbers, etc.

Lingua::Conjunction is Perl module convert Perl lists into linguistic conjunctions.

SYNOPSIS

use Lingua::Conjunction;

# emits "Jack"
$name_list = conjunction(Jack);

# emits "Jack and Jill"
$name_list = conjunction(Jack, Jill);

# emits "Jack, Jill, and Spot"
$name_list = conjunction(Jack, Jill, Spot);

# emits "Jack, a boy; Jill, a girl; and Spot, a dog"
$name_list = conjunction(Jack, a boy, Jill, a girl, Spot, a dog);

# emits "Jacques, un garcon; Jeanne, une fille; et Spot, un chien"
Lingua::Conjunction->lang(fr);
$name_list = conjunction(
Jacques, un garcon,
Jeanne, une fille,
Spot, un chien
);

Lingua::Conjunction exports a single subroutine, conjunction, that converts a list into a properly punctuated text string.

You can cause conjunction to use the connectives of other languages, by calling the appropriate subroutine:

Lingua::Conjunction->lang(en); # use and (default)
Lingua::Conjunction->lang(es); # use y

Supported languages in this version are English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, Norwegian, Danish, Dutch, Afrikaans, Swahili, and Latin. (Klingon is intentionally not supported.)

You can also set connectives individually:

Lingua::Conjunction->separator("...");
Lingua::Conjunction->separator_phrase("--");
Lingua::Conjunction->connector_type("or");

# emits "Jack... Jill... or Spot"
$name_list = conjunction(Jack, Jill, Spot);

The separator_phrase is used whenever the separator already appears in an item of the list. For example:

# emits "Doe, a deer; Ray; and Me"
$name_list = conjunction(Doe, a deer, Ray, Me);

You may use the penultimate routine to diable the separator after the next to last item. Generally this is bad English practice but the option is there if you want it:

# emits "Jack, Jill and Spot"
Lingua::Conjunction->penultimate(0);
$name_list = conjunction(Jack, Jill, Spot);

I have been told that the penultimate comma is not standard for some languages, such as Norwegian. Hence the defaults set in the %languages.
