Mobile Device Information project is a Java Swing application that provides desktop interface access to the WURFL (Wireless Universal Resource FiLe).
The WURFL contains information about the capabilities of a huge number of wireless devices.
The project has been created by me (Jim McLachlan), a software consultant specialising in Java projects for mobile devices (primarily J2METM clients with J2EETM back-ends).
Part of my consultancy work has been the "education" of clients to the limitations of the cross-platform nature of Java on mobile devices. I have regularly had to field questions like "Is the < mobile device > MIDP-1.0 or MIDP-2.0 compliant?" and "How many different MIDP-2.0 devices are there?".
As part of my recent web site development, where I intend to sell my J2ME applications, I found myself in need of some "rich content" that would be useful to consumers and not just developers. Hopefully, this tool will be useful to people wanting to know more about their devices.
Enhancements:
- This release finally resolves problems with the id pseudo-capability.
- Version 1.2 caused make/model data to be hidden; 1.2.1 fixed this, but added a bug which used the fallback instead of the current "id".

Single Source information Server provides a set of applets for sharing information from a single source.
The Single Source Infomation Server is a suite of applets designed to share information from a single source, a set of MySQL tables, with as many other systems as possible, starting with PHP, Palm OS PDAs, LDAP, and WAP.
The first part of this project will create a set of PHP pages to edit the information inside a simple set of tables.
This will be the first bi-directional applet (DONE). Following on from there will the ability to export some of this data into a format that can be used by the file link feature in HotSync (DONE), a bi-directional PDA sync (DONE) and by an LDAP server applet, the ability to print single address labels onto a Dymo / CoStar label printer, print envelopes and create a mail-merge export for letters.
If we can work out or get the spec, we will write a QuickBooks timer export for the datebook, and allow import/export of vCal, iCal and vCards.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a number of bugs and adds some new functionality, includine LDAP.
- After this release we will be making a major re-write to the coldsync conduits, so the next release will be an alpha release of Version 0.2

GIST is a tool kit for the rapid development of interactive web based information servers.

GIST removes the technical barriers traditionally associated with creating interactive web sites.

It has been specifically designed to allow user communities to share information and communicate more effectively without the need for a full-time technical web master.

GIST provides support for managing user definable information objects, so you dont write any CGI programs or SQL in your HTML, or worry about indexing your data: GIST does it for you.

You define your data and its structure and GIST takes care of adding, changing, deleting and indexing it, allowing you to focus on the important issues of providing the features and facilities your user community expect and demand.

Traditional approaches to web-based-publishing involve a centralised ``webmaster or group of webmasters responsible for the provision of information contained within the site and for its maintenance. As the site grows, the cost of maintenance increases.

The prototyping activities undertaken by the Joint Rresearch Center of the European Commission (JRC) provide an alternative approach to populating and maintaining a web site, in which each member of the user community is responsible for maintaining their own information. The G7/GELOS1 server is a working example of the technology involved.

GIST is an effort undertaken by the JRC to build on the success of this prototyping activity and to generalise their functionality in a reusable component library for the construction of dynamic, user community based Information Servers. GIST allows users without programming skills to create a web server with a data model and user interface of their own design.

GIST makes it easier to build an Information Server by providing the software components required for common tasks.

In particular GIST provides facilities for: submission of information by members of a user community modification and deletion of information presentation of information search and browse user registration and user interface configuration user authentication and authorisation automatic validation of user input server configuration and definition of policy rules Regardless of the style of information it contains any Information Server needs to allow its user community to interact with it; in particular to populate and maintain the contents of its information store, and to view the information contributed by other members of the community.

Search and browse facilities are indispensable for all but the smallest of databases; there is no point storing information if no-one can ever find it.

GIST ensures that users are prevented from changing information that they are not authorised to change, and that database integrity is maintained at all times.

Various configuration options are available so that the server may be tailored the server behaviour to the needs of the community; of particular note is the ability to define local policy rules to be applied when the information store is modified.

Domain Details 2.4 will empower your browser with nifty features. It is actually a Firefox addon that allows you to view the current site's server software and headers, IP address, location flag, and have quick links to Whois and other domain information.

DNS Flood Detector was developed to detect abusive usage levels on high traffic nameservers and to enable quick response in halting (among other things) the use of ones nameserver to facilitate spam.
DNS Flood Detector uses libpcap (in non-promiscuous mode) to monitor incoming dns queries to a nameserver. The tool may be run in one of two modes, either daemon mode or "bindsnap" mode. In daemon mode, DNS Flood Detector will alarm via syslog.
In bindsnap mode, the user is able to get near-real-time stats on usage to aid in more detailed troubleshooting.
Usage: ./dns_flood_detector [OPTION]
-i ifname specify interface to listen on (default lets pcap pick)
-t n alarm when more than n queries per second are observed
(default 40)
-a n wait for n seconds before alarming again on same source
(default 90)
-w n calculate statistics every n seconds
(default 10)
-x n use n buckets
(default 50)
-m n mark overall query rate every n seconds
(default disabled)
-A addr filter for specific address
-M mask netmask for filter (in conjunction with -A)
-Q monitor any addresses (default is to filter only for
primary addresses on chosen interface)
-b run in foreground in "bindsnap" mode
-d run in background in "daemon" mode
-D dump dns packets (implies -b)
-v detailed information (use twice for more detail)
-h usage info
Sample Output:
dopacki:~$ sudo ./dns_flood_detector -v -v -b -t10

Enhancements:
- Address filtering options are now available, as are fractional query rates for better precision.
- This update also fixes several crashes and segfaults that affected overall reliability.

ICWS provides a Web services (SOAP) interface for information currency systems. Information Currency Web Services implementation uses Java, the Axis SOAP engine, and the PostgreSQL database server.
Information Currency CVS is a work-alike adaptation of CVS which returns information currency for committed source code.
Allocation of economic resources by financial mechanisms is an essential part of modern economies, and financial innovations have been a powerful force for human progress. Information technology provides the opportunity to create new economic instruments derived from any arbitrary element of information.
Information currency units are economically scarce objects that are issued and maintained by a service that establishes a correspondence between underlying units of information and information currency. Information currency will enable the application of economic mechanisms for information management and valuation.
Information currency units can be traded for other economic instruments, and the trade value of information currency units provides an economic valuation of the underlying information.
Enhancements:
- This release adds the first code for trading information currency, as well as a new Internet draft with an example trade.
