Dirty Water 0.1.0
Dirty Water project is a custom MUD server. more>>
Dirty Water is an original MUD server/engine written in OCaml.
It is designed to be much more advanced and realistic and to encourage role playing more than Diku-style MUDs.
We are using a higher level language which we feel will yield a code-base that is significantly easier to modify, maintain and understand.
We felt that OCaml would make a good choice for this language, though we have since decided Scheme would be a better choice.
All of our code is licensed under the GNU GPL.
Enhancements:
- can pick up items
- can view inventory
- you can specify 1st, 2nd, etc when refering to items
- cant pick up buildings or yourself
- dont see yourself in room descriptions
Bubbling Load Monitor Applet 2.0.5
The Bubbling Load Monitor (or Bubblemon for short) is a system CPU and memory load monitor. more>>
It displays something that looks like a vial containing water. The water level indicates how much memory is in use. The color of the liquid indicates how much swap space is used (watery blue means none and angry red means all).
The system CPU load is indicated by bubbles floating up through the liquid; lots of bubbles means high CPU load. If you have unread mail, a message in a bottle falls into the water.
Enhancements:
- The word "bytes" may now be translated.
- The French translation was updated.
- The maintainers e-mail address was updated.

Frugal Windowing Environment 0.1.5
Frugal Windowing Environment, or FWE, is my basic windowing system for framebuffers. more>>
Main features:
- Frugality
- Small size (the current alpha version is 20 kB).
- Minimal resource requirements.
- Software simplicity
- Client-server architecture, with clients potentially located on remote computers (disabled at present)
- Graphics on each console with one server each.
- Basic drawing commands needed for frugal applications.
- Software bloat keeps us all on the treadmill of always buying new hardware, which ultimately new software makes painfully slow, thus we are always falling behind. But the software makes the system slow because it is poorly designed and poorly implemented and rushed work, with the frequent consequence that it is bloated. Thus the purchasing-treadmill is economically and materially wasteful. It profits the few while making the many suffer unnecessarily.
- Bloat is also bad for the Environment (which we live in and rely upon) since the manufacture of computer equipment involves the use of numerous very nasty chemicals which inevitably end up in the soil, water and air. Similarly the disposal of electronics results in chemicals leaching out of circuit boards, LCDs (which contain mercury) et cetera, which then enter the biosphere. We cannot afford to pretend this problem doesnt exist and we cannot afford to leave it to self-serving politicians to solve. It is better to solve the problem at the source: buy less hardware. (Article)
- Liberation from bloat is liberation from rushed work, poorly managed projects, and bad engineering. It is liberation from those project managers and programmers who, rather than produce better, leaner, less buggy software, pass on the consequences of their bad choice to users who must pay to upgrade their hardware to accommodate the bloat. And as that software gets bigger and bulk is piled upon bulk, increasing numbers of bugs and vulnerabilities arise which require, you guessed it, more upgrades.
Real Life Mortgage Calculator 1.05
Real Life Mortgage Calculator is a script that provides visitors to your Web site of how much house they can afford. more>>
Calculating the costs of your first home is more than just getting a mortgage - theres a ton of other costs to consider including appliances, repairs, moving costs and utilities!
Youll get a much better idea of what you can afford by using this form than one that only tells you how much your monthly mortgage payment will be. When you submit the form, you will be presented with a printable report with the following information:
1. How much you can afford to put down
2. If youll be able to afford the monthly costs (its not just the loan youll be paying for)
3. A pretty good estimate of your utility costs (water, electricity, heating, etc.)
4. A full amortization report on your loan for each year youll be paying it. Youll want to print that out!
Its good to generate a report for each house youre considering getting a loan for. Then print out the report so you can compare and contrast them.
You can also download the Real Life Mortgage Calculator and add it to your own site. Just click the download link to the right. Enjoy!

Deep-Water Linux 0.4.0 Beta01
Deep-Water Linux is a half minimalist software distribution using the linux kernel. more>>
Originaly i designed it for myself to make my work a bit easyer - it was a few years ago when there were not so many live distributions that fit my needs - i needed something more than "minimal" but not something that would need more than 2-3 minutes to load requireing hardware, that i couldnt afford.
So i designed a small system for myself that i could use whenever i broke my "harddisk" distro so much, that it was impossible to repair the system from inside of it. I started using the system as a sort of a rescue system and i installed it on my computer as a sort of a neighbour to other systems that i have used.
Then i thought other people might find it interesting, if not as a whole, than atleast a part of it, or maybe they might like to use it for some "rescue job". I was messing arround with xlib and tcl/tk, so i added some programs to ease a users life - like a panel, icons, file-manager. You see, i thought it is stupid to just copy someones work and then re-distribute it in my name - i hate the kind of distros where the "developers" just change the background of some well known distro and then give it a new name.
In my distro you wont find so many tools, it evean might not work good, it evean can make you angry "make you laugh, or cry", but atleast i can say, that many things in this system is my work - i programmed deep-panel/ deep-view/ deep-icons/ made a new hackedbox"a hack of blackbox"/designed the startup and many other things.
There are 2 version-types of the distro - the first copying the whole system in the memmory and the second copying only a part of itself - the first is for people with older hardware with little memmory and the second for boxes with memmory atleast 128MB. I know that there are many systems out there that are better and im not saying that its good to use this distro on an everyday basis, but if you find some inspiration in it, or if you use it as a rescue system, or want to use deep-view to browse/edit some files or to display image galleries and your "real" system is broke, if you find any use of it than im happy enough.

Bottle 0.5.4
Bottle provides you with a quick and simple WSGI-framework which is designed for the Python Programming Language. more>> <<less
License:MIT/X Consortium Lic...
Fast Logging Project for Snort 1.6.0
Fast Logging Project for Snort is designed to gather alerts with payload from distributed snort sensors. more>>
On the sensor, the output is written to a process called sockserv. This process is threaded; one thread receives and buffers the alert packets, and the other thread forwards them to a central server.
The output is decoupled from snort, which can proceed in sniffing instead of waiting for the output plugins. At the central server, a process called servsock gathers all alerts from the remote sensors and feeds them to the database.
A short description of alerts with high priority together with the database ID can be sent via email to a list of recipients.
Main features:
- Decoupling of the output from snort. Snort can work on new packets instead of processing the output.
- Buffering of alerts on the sensor. This is useful if you have a shortage on your network to the central server or the servsock process on the central server is not running (maybe it will be restarted due to a change to a newer version...)
- Buffering of alerts on the central server. It is not uncommon that the database (especially MySQL) is hanging during a high input rate or the rate is faster than the database is able to store.
- Fast writing to the database via an unix domain socket.
- E-Mail alerting on high priority alerts.
- Drop feature for the worst case. At least the basic alert informations are still available either via E-Mail or on stdout/syslog.
- Since version 1.0.6 the alerts which should be dropped on the central server if servsock exits are written to a swap file. So this data is still availabe.
- If alerts have to been dropped because the high water mark was reached then these data are not written to the swap file.
Enhancements:
- Several checks were added, the alert data from Snort got a tag, and a restart of Snort is now checked.
- getpacket now has base 64 support.
- The statistics are now generated via the control thread so some signals are no longer necessary.
- The exit handler was rewritten and a cache for signatures was added.
- This cache can accelerate the insert rate by up to a factor of two and is implemented as a red black tree.
- During runtime, the only SELECT statement is for the signature ID, and all other operations are INSERT statements.
- The idea is to cache all signatures that caused an alert.
