Free seducing sister software for linux

Big Sister network monitor is a real time system and network health monitoring application.

High Level Virtual Machine is a toolkit for developing virtual machines for dynamic languages.
The High Level Virtual Machine is:
- Based on LLVM (Low Level Virtual Machine). LLVM is HLVMs sister project. HLVM gains tremendous capability from LLVM in the areas of code generation, bytecode storage, runtime execution, etc.
- Aimed at supporting dynamic languages such as Ruby, Python, Perl, Jython, Haskell, Prolog, etc.
- A complete compiler developers toolkit for creating new languages easily. To write a new compiler, language designers simply write a plugin that describes the language to HLVM and how to translate the grammar productions into HLVMs comprehensive Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). After that, HLVM handles all aspects of code generation, bytecode storage, XML translation, JIT execution or interpretation, and native compilation.
- A language interoperability framework. Because all front end compilers generate code in the same AST, they can interoperate. Use of the runtime library for common constructs (e.g. "string") allow even complex data types to be shared between languages. Users of HLVM can write complex programs in multiple languages and be assured the result can be executed efficiently.
- A code management system including code revisioning, interface versioning, automated recompilation, separation of workspaces, etc.
- Currently under development. Project started April 20th, 2006. Stay tuned to this web site for future developments.

Cdred is a Linux driver and two programs that enables *any* CD player software (xfreecd,gtcd,etc.) to use audio cdroms inserted in other computer. In other words: you can listen an audio cd in a Linux box that doesnt have that cd inserted. Cdred works in all 2.2.x kernels and support for 2.4 will be implemented soon.

Cdred was written in C and it uses a client-server model to implement most of the cdrom ioctls. The communication is made with RPC. If you want a very clear scheme of the implementation, watch this picture that my sister (7 years old) did. The disc that appears in the right is Meteosats Espunk. Meteosat is one of my favourite bands and my brother Ignacio is one of its members.

GUMP script works on the LAB channels to add rich color saturation effects to your photo. This is the twin sister script of Photo LAB WoW !!

The latest version at source forge archive allows you to do cool color changes, including black and white conversion.

KHacc is a sister project to QHacc--the Q Home Accountant--but with KDE-specific integration. It features double- or single-entry bookkeeping and a reconciliation window.
It also provides support for memorized and split transactions, graphing, reporting, archiving, and scheduled transactions that can be based on the account balance. KHacc requires QHacc.
Enhancements:
- added initial support market transactions
- added support for void transactions
- added per-transaction handling of taxable status
- added reconcile window option to show tranactions from all journals
- improved transeditors handling of updated accounts
- fixed titlebar bug when changing dataset name

Pxytest is a command line utility to test a host for open proxies that are vulnerable to spammer abuse.

Unsecured proxies currently are the most significant conduit of junk email. This is a particularly vexing problem, because open proxies, unlike open mail relays, hide the origin of the spam, making it impossible to trace. This utility tests a host to see if it is vulnerable to such abuse.

The following types of unsecured proxies are detected: http-connect, http-post socks4, socks5, wingate, telnet and cisco. See the manual page for descriptions of these proxy types.

If you find this utility useful, you also may be interested in its sister utility, the rlytest open relay tester.

Xholon runtime framework executes applications that are event-driven or that have highly dynamic structure or behavior. Specify your models using XML and Java, or using third-party UML2 tools and MDA transformations.
To get started, read or actively work through the basic HelloWorld tutorial. Its a very simple application, but it demonstrates many of the main concepts.
For more detail on the concepts behind Xholon, you might want to read one of the papers thats been published. These describe how to model cells and other complex biological entities using tools designed for developing real-time and embedded systems.
This earlier work used Rational Rose RealTime and C++, rather than the current Java. Xholon is intended to be a runtime framework that can execute the same types of systems described in those papers, plus many more traditional non-biological event-driven systems.
The goal of the Cellontro sister project is to develop complex biological simulations using the Xholon framework. Most of the features described in the published papers have been re-implemented as Cellontro applications using Xholon.
Also have a look at the sample applications that are included with the Xholon software. These give an idea of the range of applications that can be supported by the Xholon runtime framework.
These have been employed as use cases to determine what functionality is most important in Xholon. The digital watch simulation is a good example of a Xholon application with a hierarchical state machine, developed using a UML modeling tool.
A Xholon is essentially a holon. A holon is an entity that lives within a hierarchical structure, and is both a whole and a part at the same time.
In mainstream computer science terms, a Xholon is a node in a tree. The node has a single parent, possibly one or more children, and possibly one or more siblings. A Xholon may also be an active agent able to interact in real-time with other Xholons in the tree.
In UML2 terminology, a Xholon is a structured classifier that may exist as a part within other structured classifiers, and that may in turn contain other structured classifiers as parts of itself. The result is a hierarchical containment structure, nested to an arbitrary number of levels.
As a part, a Xholon plays a specific role within another structured classifier. Xholons are UML classes that are subsequently refined using UML2 composite structure diagrams. Structured classifiers interact with each other through ports, by passing messages or by making function calls.
Using the more philosophical terminology used to describe holons, a Xholon is something that is simultaneously both a whole and a part. Since everything in the universe is a holon, then everything running within a computer application should be a Xholon. The term holon was invented by Arthur Koestler in 1967.
The Xholon Project is inspired by biological concepts. A major incentive behind the project is to build a run-time environment that is equally adapted to running simulations of biological systems, and to running more traditional real-time, embedded and other event-driven reactive systems.
Xholon applications may contain structures that are highly mutable. A Xholon is an active agent that can modify the tree structure in which it lives. It can navigate the tree to interact with any other node, it can add, delete or modify other nodes, it can exchange messages with other nodes, and it can move itself to another position within the tree.
The Xholon Project incorporates many concepts of the Real-time Object-Oriented Modeling (ROOM) methodology, much of which has been incorporated into UML2. At the same time, Xholon removes some of the limitations of ROOM to allow for greater flexibility, mutability and mobility of active objects.
The Xholon run-time can serve as a target for a Model Driven Architecture (MDA) transformation pipeline. MDA stresses the importance of models, and the ability to transform those models, through a series of steps, into an executing target system.
You can create your model using a UML tool such as Gentlewares Poseidon or NoMagics MagicDraw, save the model as an XMI file, transform it using XSLT (or by some other MDA means) into a Xholon model and application, and then execute the model.
Enhancements:

- Additional Agent-Based Modeling functionality is available.
- The NetLogo-like syntax has been enhanced.
- The architecture is more flexible and is ready to more fully support integration of multiple domains.
- Histograms and probability distributions are now available. Line charts update in real-time.
- Numerous other modeling, simulation, transformation, and execution features have been added.
