Free take away software for linux

Konvi-Kopete Away Sync is a small script that helps sync Kopete and Konversation away status via DCOP.

Copy the file to either ~/.kde/share/apps/konversation/scripts for local install or $KDEDIR/share/apps/konversation/scripts for system wide install. Then bind /exec dblAway.sh away and /exec dblAway.sh back to whatever commands you want (Settings->Configure Konversation->Behavior->Command Aliases)

Tested on Konversation 1.0.1 with Kopete 0.12.5 on KDE 3.5.7 on Archlinux Duke.

Post which Kopete versions and Konvi versions it works on!

Yukiawa project is a bubbles puzzle game.

Yukiawa is a puzzle game where you connect bubbles of the same color to clear them away from the level. It features a series of levels and random puzzles for single play. Multiplayer gaming is also possible.

Call this script from the Autostart folder, and it will update Kopetes away message for each interval (requires Kopete 0.12 or higher). The away messages are by default defined in ~/.kopete-away-msgs. Each line can contain either:
- a comment (starting with a #)
- flags message
The flags define some properties to each away message. Flags are defined only at the start of the line, beginning and ending with a %. The following flags are supported.
[0-9]*[smhd] Determines how long this message should be shown before a new one is chosen. This is the sleep(1) syntax.
a Only show this message when youre away.
c This line is a command, use its output as away message.
i Show the contents of a file, line by line. The message should contain the path to the file. Do not use ~ but use /home/$USER instead. Empty lines in the included file are skipped.
n Use the next message in the file for the next iteration.
o Only show this message when youre online.
x Dont use this message when looking for a random message. This means this line is only accessible when the former line contains the n flag.
- Show the message less than normal times
-- Show the message even more less
--- Show the message sometimes
To determine your online status, you need to have the Web Presence plugin enabled. By default, it reads the file ~/.webstatus.xml. Adapt the variable below if you store the file somewhere else. The script wont do anything when youre offline or partially away (that is, some protocols are Away, some protocols are Online).
Because the web status plugin is used, the process of retrieving the current webstatus is not really reliable. It may happen that you turn back to online when you set the status on Away in a short time. If this doesnt happen in about 10 seconds after the status change, you may consider the status change as successful.
Example ~/.kopete-away-msgs file:
========================================================================
# Sometimes, show uptime for one minute
%1mc--% uptime
# Fortune rocks, but dont pick too long messages (the length of away
# messages is limited.
%2mc% fortune -s -n 120
# just show Hello world for the default interval
Hello world
# Show a away message for 60 seconds.
%a60% Im away now.
# Ask people to say something when youre online
%o% Please message me!
# Show all contents of the Linux README line by line. Show each line for
# 3 seconds.
%3i% /usr/src/linux/README
# Tell a little story when Im away. These lines must emerge in the
# right order, so mind the n and x flags! The x flags make sure we dont
# start in the middle of the story. And, show each line for about 5
# seconds.
%na5% Goodbye, all you people,
%nax5% Theres nothing you can say
%nax5% To make me change my mind.
%ax5% Goodbye.
==================================================================

- Fortune mode: Pick a random line from a given text file.
- First check the online/away status to prevent unnecessary command calls.
- Various bugfixes

Tapiir is a simple and flexible audio effects processor, inspired on the classical magnetic tape delay systems used since the early days of electro-acoustic music composition.

Tapiir project provides a graphical user interface consisting of six delay lines, or "taps", which can introduce an almost arbitrarily big or small delay to their inputs and can be feed back to each other.

A wide set of effects can be easily achieved by properly configuring and connecting the delay lines: complex echo patterns, resonances, filtering, etc. Delays, interconnections and gains can all be controlled in real time.

TAPIIR internal processing modules consist of six delay-lines, each with a mixer at its input and a gain control at its output, and a stereo output mixer. Stereo input from an external source, typically a musical instrument, is routed to all input mixers. In addition to this, the output of each delay line is also routed to the input mixers of all delay lines, including itself. Figure 1 shows the diagram of TAPIIRs internals.

This cross-feeding of audio signals throughout the system of delay-lines and mixers, allows the user to create a very large variety of stereo delay effects. Very simple echos or ping-pong effects can be achieved easily, but more complex effects such as early reflection echos, reverbs, complex rhythmic and arrhythmic patterns and even Karplus-Strong like synthesis is also possible. It is important to observe, that these more complex effects are only possible by using sample accurate processing.

Sample accuracy

Conventional hardware effect processors are often rather limited in the lenght of there delay-lines. It is unusual to encounter accuracy higher than 1 msec, and even 10 msec is used frequently, and maximum delay-lenght are limited as well.

Obviously, this limitation in hardware effect processors is deliberate, both out of technical concerns or marketing. Most users are not interested in higher accuracy, and the standard user interface of hardware effects processors - buttons or at the most an alpha-dial - would make it a painful job to adjust. Also, one can imagine that lower accuracy means less computational cost, and therefore lower overall cost of the effect processing hardware.

For advanced users however, this limitation can be annoying. Of course, many of the effects obtained with very short delay times, such as reverb or filtering, are usually also implemented in the same hardware, but it can be very interesting to combine all these with longer delay-time effects; it would be necessary to use several processors connected together to do this.

The implementation of TAPIIR, however, is sample accurate. This means that extremely short delay times can be used, 0.023 msec when using a sample-rate of 44100 Hz. In addition to this fine control over delay-lengths, the sample accuracy is also implented for feedback and even cross-feeding between the various delay-lines, This is achieved by the fact that the internal processing core of TAPIIR is written in such a way, that the input and output values of the delay-lines and mixers are passed on 1 at a time, instead of buffer-by-buffer.

Filtering with delays

Obviously, the effects obtained by sample accurate processing of delay-lines go far beyond the simple echo effects. This includes the creation of FIR filters and - using feedback - IIR filters (this has been the inspiration for the name TAPIIR). In these cases, the mixer gains function as filter coefficients. This means that TAPIIR can efficiently be used for filtering, with flexible filter design. In a future version, TAPIIR could contain a pole/zero editor that automatically sets the mixer values to create the corresponding filter.

The maximum delay-length that can be achieved is only limited by the physical RAM memory of the system TAPIIR runs on. To give an example, with 32 MB of free memory, a total delay-length of more than 6 minutes can be used. While this might seem rather useless for normal effect processing, it clearly has musical applications. Several compositions have been written that make use of long delay times. Originally performed with the use of tape-delays, they could take great profit of the use of digital techniques for sound quality. The use of hard disk space with sufficient fast access would take away time limitation even more.

Delay-length control

The graphical user interface of TAPIIR allows the user to take full advantage of the delay-length accuracy, but at the same time it tries to maintain user-friendly and manageable, by offering value-sliders for larger scales as well. Delay-time can be entered in time in seconds in number of samples. Sliders control the digits of the delay-length, with an accuracy of 5 decimals. An additional feature is the use of tempo/signature. In that case, delay-length in not represented in seconds, but in beats, and the sliders control the subdivision of beats according to the signature. Obviously, in many circumstances this representation is a lot more useful, in a musical sense, than time in seconds.

Dataxi project is a collection of tools for developing form-based information systems. Dataxi enables one to quickly build an application based on forms with which the user can access the underlying database in order to query, read, edit and write. Dataxi is the link between the user interface and the database.
Dataxi is an OS and enviroment independent product. It follows HTML and SQL standards to such extend that interoperability with all browsers and database backends should be supported.
Dataxi runs on all major operating systems as is or only with minor changes in ini -files.
The purpose of Dataxi is to take the pain away from the most boring phase in the data access application development: user interface designing and programming. Ones you have defined the layout of the form and location for columns, you are done, unless you prefer setting data validation and output format features and other niceties.
A database is a structured collection of data. It may be anything from a simple shopping list to a picture gallery or the vast amounts of information in a corporate network. To add, access, and process data stored in a computer database, you need a database management system such as MySQL. Since computers are very good at handling large amounts of data, database management plays a central role in computing, as stand-alone utilities, or as parts of other applications.
Enhancements:
- This version works with both PHP 4 and 5.

5.56mm Full Metal Jacket is a Doom 3 multiplayer modification

5.56mm Full Metal Jacket takes place in a fictive Environment where you have a West and an East team. Accordingly to your team you will get the full weapon-arsenal available supported by your side.

There are 5 classes of weapons .... Pistols, Shotguns, Sub-Machineguns, Assault Rifles and Sniper Rifles. The target system will feature 2 modes ... Aiming with the cross-hair which gets less and less precise the further away you shoot or aiming through the weapons sights which influences the overall field of view but therefore is damn pretty precise.

The game features first- and thirdperson view though when in thirdperson the lack of a crosshair makes aiming more difficult. The levels will vary between huge outdoor scenarios and narrow office corridors.

Supported gametypes are: Capture the Flag, Team DeathMatch

Supported weapons so far are:

Pistols: RUGER MK 512, GLOCK 17
Shotguns: BENELLI M3, EICHLER
SMGs: MP5SD6, MAC10
Assault Rifles: XM177E2(AR15), AK-47
Sniper Rifles: AWM, M24
