Habotat is a small, lightweight application server for hosting IM Services (more commonly referred to as Bots).
Bots are small, specialized programs that you can communicate with using an Instant Messenger (IM) client; they show up in your Buddy List and are always there to do your bidding.
Habotat is written entirely in Java and is known to run on Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, and Windows. A simple API is provided to allow for the creation of new Bots.
The Habotat server supports dynamic hot-deployment, so Bots can be loaded into the server and activated on-the-fly and even rebuilt and reloaded without requiring a server restart.
Enhancements:
- Minor bugfixes were made in the AOL IM adapter, the eBay sniping bot, and the HTTP cookie management routines in the API.

KDiskRescue project is a KDE frontent to the gnu program ddrescue.

Its written with korundum, the qt/kde ruby bindings. So it depends to korundum and ddrescue.

Its still an alpha, so expect issues and report them if you can. Illustrations are alpha too.

A ebuild is provided for gentoo users but its the configure/make/make install thing inside the tarball.

EDIT : known issue : the first step shows a media list that do not auto update when you eject/insert a removable media. To refresh this list you must restart KDiskRescue ...

dslKonnector is a Kommander script to start, stop, restart DSL connection (ppp over ethernet), using tools "pon dsl-provider" and “poff dsl-provider".

To use it you will need to have superuser privileges. dslKonnector does not configure dsl connection, so you will have to setup it using tool "pppoeconf".

I created this script because there was no graphical way to control dsl connection in Kubuntu Dapper, and I needed it sometimes, since some dynamic IPs my wife would receive from our ISP would be blocked from my IRC network.

Would that kind of app be needed? If so, how do I improve it? Suggestions welcome!

Dark Plastik is a nice little black theme I made, based on my DarkPlastik colour scheme.

Has a debian wallpaper, but for those not running debian, wallpaper is easy to change

To install:

1) Download the file
2) Go into kcontrol (control center), to Appearance & Themes --> Themes.
3) Click "Install new theme", select the downloaded file
4) Select Dark Plastik in the list

Make sure you restart KDE after you install this theme! If you dont, then the colour screw up until you next start KDE.

Hope you guys like it!

mod_streamav module is an Apache 2 filter that scans the content of the Apache Brigades using the Clamav virus scanning engine.

Unlike mod_clamav, it operates on streams for higher performance.

mod_streamav was written by Tao Jin, who graduate from PKU, in China.

Installation:

mod_streamav is an Apache filter, which is new feature of Apache 2.0. So mod_streamav cannot be run on Apache 1.3. (mod_streamav has been successfully tested on Apache version-2.0.54) And you should install Clamav properly.

#tar xvfz mod_streamav.tar.gz
#cd mod_streamav
#./configure --prefix=/somewhere/you want (if you dont change,the default path is /usr/local/lib)
#make
#make install

Now, you can fine some libraries named like libmod_streamav.la libmod_streamav.so and so on in your prefix path.
#cp libmod_streamav.so /path to/apache2/moudles/mod_streamav.so

Configuration:

You have to edit the config file $apache2/conf/httpd.conf! Add following lines to this file
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

LoadModule streamav_module modules/mod_streamav.so
SetOutputFilter STREAMAV
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Ok, you can restart Apache, and do your test.
