S-Jog is a GUI for Sony VAIO Jog Wheel.
S-Jog is a program that uses the Sony Vaio laptops Jog Wheel to launch user applications, adjust the screen brightness, volume, and also to scroll pages up and down (like a mousewheel).
S-Jog pops up when you move the Jog Wheel, then disappears after 3 seconds of inactivity so that it doesnt waste desktop space.
The aim of S-Jog is to give Linux a nice graphical application to manage Jog-Dial wheel on Sony Vaio laptops. It utilizes the Sony Programmable I/O driver in recent 2.4.x kernels or the legacy SPIC driver provided in S-Jog distribution.
Currently, S-Jog is able to launch applications defined in the sjogrc file, adjust the screen brightness level and also the master volume of the sound card. Also S-Jog makes the Jog-Dial work like a mousewheel and it runs in background.
Enhancements:
- README, sjog.1: Updated doc file

S-terminal lets you create a secure X terminal over an ecrypted tunnel.

Regular X terminals pass unencrypted data between you the remote machine.

S-terminal creates an encrypted tunnel through which all X traffic passes.

It replaces the remote xdm login screen with a local application that collects username and password, then sets up an ssh tunnel to the remote host and starts a session.

It is highly configurable both in appearance and behavior, and deployed S-terminals can be remotely administered.

S-terminal was developed to run under Knoppix, but it should be portable to most Linux systems. With minor changes, it should work on any Unix-like system that has X, perl, tcl/tk and expect installed.

Best of all, it can be added to a KNOPPIX CD to create an instant, bootable, secure X terminal CD.

G.u.e.s.s.o is a simple guess-the-number game.
I was playing this game since years , and I liked its simplicity, it was on my electronic translater (Atlas) device, but I couldnt find any PC version of it, so I decided to code it.
And it is also a project to help me learn programming with Qt.
If you like it please just drop me an email saying so.
Installation:
First you need to compile guesso, you must have qt3-devel 3.3 or later in order to compile it, open the console and type the following commands:
./make-guesso
if everything went successfuly , you can run it with the following command:
./src/guesso
and finaly if you want to install it just copy it to any folder in your $PATH variable like /use/bin :
su
cp ./src/guesso /usr/bin/guesso
Enhancements:
- made Guesso translatable (as requested :)
- added arabic translation
- added better install/uninstall scripts
- code clean up
- other minor changes
