Free resources for the future software for linux

Resource::Loader is a Perl module to load different resources depending.

SYNOPSIS

use Resource::Loader;

$loader = Resource::Loader->new(
testing => 0,
verbose => 0,
cont => 0,
resources =>
[
{ name => never,
when => sub { 0 },
what => sub { die "this will never be loaded" },
},
{ name => sometimes 50%,
when => sub { int rand 2 > 0 },
what => sub { "sometimes was loaded. args: [@_]" },
whatargs => [ qw/foo bar baz/ ],
},
{ name => sometimes 66%,
when => sub { int rand @_ },
whenargs => [ 0, 1, 2 ],
what => sub { "sometimes was loaded. args: [@_]" },
whatargs => [ qw/foo bar baz/ ],
},
{ name => always,
when => sub { 1 },
what => sub { "always was loaded" },
},
],
);

$loaded = $loader->load;
$status = $loader->status;

Resource::Loader is simple at its core: You give it a list of resources. Each resource knows when it should be triggered and if its triggered, will run its code segment.

Both the when and the what are coderefs, so you can be as devious as you want in determining when a resource will be loaded and what, exactly, it does.

I originally wrote this to solve a simple problem but realized that the class is probably applicable to a whole slew of problems. I look forward to hearing to what devious ends you push this module. Really, send me an email - I love hearing about people using my toys.

TN3270RG is a TCP/IP TN3270 gateway that dynamically assigns resources to a connection from a pool of available addresses. Features include an easy to use web interface for management and a PostgreSQL database backend.
It is useful if you have a large number of machines connecting to a TN3270 host, but for whatever reason the host itself cannot assign resources from a pool. TN3270 will keep track of a pool of resources in a PostgreSQL database (should work with other databases as well) and dynamically allocate a resource to each connnection that goes through it.
Simply configure the daemon so it knows the address of the real TN3270 host, set the resource pool up using the web management software, and point your clients to the address of the gateway.
In the client configuration set your resource to what you have the replacement token set to (!_TN3270RG_RESOURCE_! by default) and when the daemon sees that resource go by, it will substitute the resource it has allocated for the connection and pass the rest of the data stream unaltered to the host.
TN3270 Resource Gateway project is designed to be fast and stable and should recover gracefully from most errors including unexpected disconnections and database errors. It is written in Perl and uses the POE framework.
Enhancements:
- This release uses Sys::Syslog (which is actively maintained and is included in the main Perl distribution).
- All Syslog calls have been updated to prevent a highly unlikely (but still possible) format string vulnerability.
- It cleanly exits from a SIGTERM with useful logging information.

Shezhu Resource Sharing System project is an application for scheduling and booking shared resources such as rooms and equipment.
The client only needs a modern Web browser.
It has a user friendly point and click interface, visual filters for making block/repeat bookings, concurrent users and double booking prevention, allows local site customization, and supports configurable academic term/semester blocks.
Main features:
- Portable - client only needs a modern web browser
- Point and Click - almost no typing required
- Intuitive - simple, obvious, consistent and user friendly
- Innovative - visual filters for making block/repeat bookings
- Powerful - concurrent users and double booking prevention
- Configurable - local site customization supported
- Useful - built in support for configurable academic term, semester and session blocks
- Free!
Requirements
In order to run or build the Shezhu Resource Sharing System you need some third-party software available on your machine.
Client
The client needs a modern web browser and the best browsers for this application are Firefox, Mozilla (including the Netscape branded equivalent and Gecko derivatives such as Galeon) and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The newest versions of all these browsers will work best. This application also works with the Konqueror and Opera browsers but these have some issues which may affect functionality. All browsers need JavaScript enabled. Any of these browsers may not work properly (or at all) depending on the operating system they are running under. Text based browsers (such as Lynx) are not supported.
For a comprehensive list of supported client browsers and operating systems refer to this browser compatibility chart from the most recent release of the application.
Server
The server needs recent versions of the Apache web server and the MySQL database server.
The server has only been tested on Redhat9 and FedoraCore3 Linux/i386 platforms although there is no specific reason why it should not work on other Linux platforms and distributions.
Development
Rebuilding this application from source requires a standard Unix development environment with the sh, make, cc, cpp, sed and awk utilities. Also required are RCS, Perl (5.6+) and the ImageMagick program. Also required is RPM to build a distribution. All these programs would probably come as standard in Linux distributions, other platforms may not have all of them by default.
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for Apache2 and multi-site installations, internal restructuring, a better installation tree, and improved access control management.

TiVo::HME::Resource is a Perl encapsulation of a TiVo HME resource.

SYNOPSIS

use TiVo::HME::Application;
@ISA = qw(TiVo::HME::Applicaton);

# create a buncha resources

# Color
# r,g,b,alpha = 0 ... 255
my $color = $T_RESOURCE->color($red, $green, $blue, $alpha);

# Font
my $font = $T_RESOURCE->font([ system | default ], $point_size, STYLE);
# point size is a float
# STYLE is one of:
# $T_CONST->FONT_PLAIN
# $T_CONST->FONT_BOLD
# $T_CONST->FONT_ITALIC
# $T_CONST->FONT_BOLDITALIC

# True Type Font (you need a file containing it)
my $ttf = $T_RESOURCE->ttf_file($ttf_file_name);

# Text
my $text = $T_RESOURCE->text($font, $color, $string);
# $font (TTF or Font) & $color are created as above
# $string is yer string

# Image (jpeg, mpeg, or png)
my $image = $T_RESOURCE->image_file($path_to_image_file);

# Sound
my $sound = $T_RESOURCE->sound_file($path_to_sound_file);

# Stream
my $sound = $T_RESOURCE->stream($url, $content_type, $play);
# $url points to stream resouce
# $content_type is a hint to TiVo so it knows what the stream is
# $play, 1 = play, 0 = pause

# Animation
my $anim = $T_RESOURCE->animation($duration, $ease);
# $duration is in miliseconds
# $ease = -1. position($pos);
# $pos = milliseconds into resource

# Set speed
$resource->set_speed( 0 .. 1.);
# 0 = paused
# 1 = play at normal speed

# Make key event
my $event = $T_RESOURCE->make_key_event(1, $action, $code, $rawcode);
# just put the 1 there for now...
# $action can be anything BUT you can use:
# $T_CONST->KEY_PRESS
# $T_CONST->KEY_REPEAT
# $T_CONST->KEY_RELEASE

# $code - see all the key codes defined in TiVo::HME::CONST
# $rawcode can be anything

# Send key event
$T_RESOURCE->set_event(1, $animation, $event);
# just put the 1 there for now...
# $animation is an (optional) animation resource (0 to ignore)
# $event is from make_key_event

# Close
$resource->close;

# Remove resource from TiVo
$resource->remove;
my $image = $T_RESOURCE->image_file(tivo.jpg);

You create & manipulate resources - eventually assigning them to Views to be displayed/played by your TiVo.

Crypt::OpenSSL::CA::Resources is a bibliography of documentations and tools that I found helpful for implementing X509 PKIs in Perl over all these years.

This package performs the cryptographic operations necessary to issue X509 certificates and certificate revocation lists (CRLs). It is implemented as a Perl wrapper around the popular OpenSSL library. All certificate and CRL extensions supported by OpenSSL are available, and then some.

Razer DeathAdder mouse configuration is a configuration utility for the Razer DeathAdder on Linux systems.
You can control the LEDs, scanning resolution and frequency and profiles with this tool. In future things like firmware upload are also planned.
Enhancements:
- This adds support for the Razer Krait mouse.
