Free quotes of the day software for linux

Afghan Hound Quote of the Day Daemon project is a TCP/UDP quote-of-the-day server.
Afghan Hound Quote of the Day Daemon uses both TCP and UDP port 17 to return a random quote from fortune(6) style quote files. It has performance benefits over other programs which use fortune(6) to source their quotes.
The server also includes the ability to limit the number of client connections per second. Client and benchmarking programs are included in the package.
Main features:
- RFC865 compatibility - The official standard for qotd (port 17) services.
- Only needs root if listening on ports lower than 1024, however it should drop root as soon as possible.
- Uses standard fortune(6) text-file, text-file.dat style quote files.
- All new code to read and create fortune files.
- Listens on both TCP and UDP user specifiable ports.
- Can limit returned quotes to lie in a max-size, min-size range.
- Can limit maximum number of connections per second independently on both TCP and UDP.
- Can log connections, optionally recording hostname and ident information.
- Logging can either be to a specified log file, or to syslog
- Handles rot13-encoded (offensive) quotes, which can be enabled or disabled.
- Many configuration items can be changed at run-time.
- Known to compile on Solaris 2.5 (Ultra SPARC) and Linux 2.2.16 (Intel and sparc32). (With gcc everywhere and Suns cc on Solaris.)
Enhancements:
- Bug fixes: signal.c:
- client.c: Added gcc __attribute__ thing to signal handlers, elimiates warning.
- Added F_NOTIFY to allow auto reloading if fortune files change.

bigquotes is a quotes database based on the bpquotes project, with some minor (for the moment) enhancements. bigquotes is designed to let IRC users add funny quotes for others to see.

A banning system, Web-configurable options (session support, registratuib, admins, timeout for voting, etc.), and other facilities are planned.

Irssi Quotes System is a script for the Irssi IRC client that provides commands for showing specific or random quotes, searching for quotes using SQL-style wild cards, and adding and deleting quotes.
Commands:
!quote [id] - Shows the quote with that id, or a random quote if none is used.
!search - Searches for *string* - SQL-style wildcards.
!whoset - Shows the author of the quote under that id.
!addquote - Adds a quote in the database.
!db - Prints number of non-deleted quotes in the database.
/delquote - Deletes a quote (actually it just marks the quote as deleted, nobody will be able to see it unless you restore it)
/restore - Restores a quote.
In order to install the irssi quotes system you have to do the following:
Download http://surferz.info/irssi_quotes.sql
Execute it: mysql -p yourdbname < irssi_quotes.sql
Go to your Irssi scripts directory, normally it is ~/.irssi/scripts/
Download http://surferz.info/irssi_quotes.pl
Open irssi_quotes.pl with your favorite text editor and edit these variables:
$database = (yourdbname);
$username = (dbuser);
$password = (dbpass);
Save irssi_quotes.pl
In your Irssi client type: /script load irssi_quotes.pl
Thats it! If you want the script to be loaded automatically at startup, put irssi_quotes.pl in the ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun/ directory. If the directory doesnt exist, create it.
Enhancements:
- Levels were added for the !addquote command.
- The owner can choose who may add quotes: only opped clients, only opped and voiced clients, or everyone.
- The commands must be written on a #channel, as the script wont listen to query windows anymore.

Text::Quote contains quotes strings as required for perl to eval them back correctly.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Quote;

my @quotes=map{$quoter->quote($_,indent=>6,col_width=>60)}(
"The time has come"
the walrus said,
"to speak of many things..."
," 123456abtn13fr16172021222324252627303132e34353637",
("6abtn13fr32e34" x 5),2/3,10,00);
for my $i (1..@quotes) {
print "$var$i=".$quotes[$i-1].";n";
}
Would produce:
$var1=qq"The time has come"ntthetwalrus said,nt"to speak of man.
qqy things...";
$var2=" 123456abtn13fr16172021222324252627".
"303132e34353637";
$var3=("6abtn13fr32e34" x 5);
$var4=0.666666666666667;
$var5=10;
$var6=00;

Top level aggregator that will select a default lineup of site instances default lineup of site instancesof site instancesof site instancesof site instances from which to retrieve quotes.
Other than the default lineup, this module behaves identically to whichever site-specific module is first in the lineup. See below for site-specific modules.
METHODS
The basic user interface consists of several methods, as seen in the example above. Those methods are:
quotes()
Returns a list of rows (or a reference to an array containing those rows, if in scalar context). Each row contains the Symbol, Date, Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume for that date. Optionally, if non-adjusted values were requested, their will be an extra element at the end of the row for the Adjusted closing price.
dividends()
Returns a list of rows (or a reference to an array containing those rows, if in scalar context). Each row contains the Date and amount of the Dividend, in that order.
splits()
Returns a list of rows (or a reference to an array containing those rows, if in scalar context). Each row contains the Date, Post split shares, and Pre split shares, in that order.
source($ticker, $target)
Each of these methods displays which site-specific class actually retrieved the information, if any, for a particular ticker symbol and target such as quote (default), dividend, or split.
Enhancements:
- The internal structure was changed to use date iterators where appropriate.
- The documentation was fixed for MSN.
- Various minor edge cases were fixed.

Stock Quote is a Firefox extension that allows you to get stock quote of selected ticker from any financial site that you define in the setting page.

Kwotes is a chat quote database system with a twist.

The quotes are publicly moderated, so its up to you to maintain the quality. All quotes are accepted and if their ranking falls too low for too long, they are deleted.
