Sparklines are intense, simple, wordlike graphics.
Theres a PHP library for producing sparklines, and even a sparkline web service, but I wanted something I could use to generate sparklines in both Java and JSTL (and I thought it would be a fun project). (Its also worth checking out Whys minimalist python sparklines, which encode the image data directly in the HTML as a data: URI [this library allows you to encode the images as using either data: format or javascript: format (supported by IE) in JSTL])
JSTL examples
< %@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" % >
< %@ taglib prefix="spark" uri="http://www.representqueens.com/taglibs/spark" % >
< c:set var="test" value="5, 35, 22, 19, 16, 10, 4, 33, 9, 12, 27, 36, 22" / >
< img src="< spark:bar name="test" color="red" / >" / >
will produce:
(I think the default size might be a little large).
The "name" attribute specifies the key to find the data (Uses JspContext.findAttribute). It expects the value to be either a List , a Number[], or a String of comma separated int values. Its the only manditory attribute.
The other attributes are width, height, spacing, color, highColor, lastColor, output. You can replace "bar" with "line" to get a linegraph (note: highColor and lastColor are currently not supported for line graphs).
The color attributes can either be a color name (a field name from java.awt.Color), or a HTML hex color (e.g. #ff0000 for red).
Enhancements:
- This release properly URL encodes parameters for server generated sparklines.
- This fixes an issue when using hex specified image colors.
- The tag parameter "background" has been added as a workaround for IE6 PNG transparency.

FlexPlaylist project can create a playlist for Noatun that suits users used to WinAmp XMMS style playlists.
Many people just dont use Noatun because they dont like the playlists and thus I decided to make my own one.
Main features:
- Choose own Font and Size instead of KDE-defaults
- Optionally can hide menubar, list-header, statusbar and toolbar to save space
- Show icon in first column
- Context-sensitive menu (also known as rightclick popupmenu) for common actions
- Use extended m3u playlistformat as native format instead of slower xml (itll still be able to load xml-playlists)
- Configurable keyboard-shortcuts for most actions
- Use alternating colors in listview (as seen in kmail and other kde-applications)
- Statusbar showing playtime of currently played title, overall playlist time and no. of playlist items
- Optional show some play controls in the statusbar
- Dockmode, user chooses the window to dock to
- "Jump to" dialog that lets you easily find files in huge playlists
- Autoresize columns, time takes as much space as needed, title column takes the rest
- Ignores files that cant be played by Noatun when trying to add them to the list
Enhancements:
- This release uses a more natural order when adding folders recursively (it dives into sub-folders before adding files from the current folder).
- The GUI uses standard icons for player controls in the status bar, and draws player controls in the status bar using drawing functions provided by the current KDE/Qt style.
- There are also some minor packaging changes (header checks and Debian packaging support).

Powerbox for Gtk is a patch to Gtk which replaces its GtkFileChooserDialog
Powerbox is a normal file chooser dialog box, except that it dynamically grants the application the right to access the file that the user picks.
This helps provide security because the application can be run without needing access to all the users files. Powerbox-for-Gtk patches Gtk to replace GtkFileChooserDialog with a powerbox.
It is based on Plash, which provides a restricted execution environment on Linux.
Enhancements:
- Add gtk-powerbox.c: an LD_PRELOADed patch to Gtk to replace the GtkFileChooserDialog interface so that it calls Plashs powerbox.
- Rename "plash" executable to "pola-shell".
- fs-operations.c: Add log method. Add an "end" log message when the fs_op object is dropped.
- gettextization
- make.sh: Add "-Wl,-z,relro" when linking ld.so. Fixes obscure problem when dlopen()ing libraries that might require an executable stack.
- Intercept getsockname() so that it returns the correct pathname for Unix domain sockets. Extended the g_fds array in libc so that it can contain these pathnames. It is now an array of "struct libc_fd"s, rather than an array of "cap_t"s. libc-fds.h: New file. libc-misc.c: Introduced fds_resize(), fds_slot_clear(). Changed open(), close(), dup2(), etc. libc-connect.c: Add getsockname() and change connect() and bind().
- Reason: I discovered that gconfd2 (or possibly Orbit) was relying on getsockname() returning the pathname that it earlier passed to bind(). This meant that Gnumeric was unable to spawn a gconf process itself, and it produced loads of errors.
- fs-operations.c, libc-misc.c: Fixed fstat() to return the correct information on directory FDs. Added the fsop_dir_fstat method to implement this.
- build-fs-dynamic.c: Implement link() and rename() methods. This is needed for when GNOME and KDE apps hard link files inside $HOME.
- filesysobj-real.c: Changes to allow rename and hard link calls of the form rename("dir/foo1", "dir/foo2") to work.
- The problem: The real_dir_rename and real_dir_link methods only work in the same-directory case; their test was a pointer comparison on real_dir objects. However, resolving a directory pathname like "dir" always returns a new real_dir object. This meant that the rename() call wouldnt work when you use full pathnames.
- This was causing some failures. eg. Konqueror wouldnt start: some code relied on creating "$HOME/.ICEauthority-l" as a hard link to "$HOME/.ICEauthority-c".
- The partial solution: Change the same-directory check to compare inode and device number of directory, after trying a pointer comparison.
