Free temperature software for linux

KTemperature is an application to monitor the system temperature. I was motivated to develop this utility because I could not find a simple system tray resident application for monitoring the system temperature using the ACPI interface.
The application obtains the system temperature from the file /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature .
I have been using Linux and Open Source for quite sometime and this is my first contribution. I hope this will lead to many more contributions from me.
Main features:
- Displays temperature in the system tray.
- Auto loading of ACPI thermal module if required and present.
- Detection of ACPI thermal interface if interface is present /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*
- Right click options of Pause, Restart and Update for greater control of polling with ketboard shortcuts.
- Visually represents the temperature by increasing or decreasing the redness of the system tray icon with change in the temperature.
- The polling frequency can be changed from 1 second to 60 seconds.
- Configurable temperature monitoring interface. If the default monitoring point of /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature is not present the icon displays NA instead of the temperature. The monitoring point can be configured in such cases.
- Persistent configuration. The configuration parameters are stored in a file located at $HOME/.ktemperatue . The file is read at application startup and previously stored values are used. If the application is being run for the first time the default values will be used.
Enhancements:
- Created archive to include version information.
- Added keyboard shortcuts to right click menu options.
- Added caption to root password dialog.

Laptop Temperature Monitor is a little applet for the GNOME desktop that shows the temperature of your laptop CPU on screen. You can log temperatures to a file as well.

Installation

tar xzf laptoptemp-0.2.tar.gz
$ cd laptoptemp-0.2
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

PerlPrimer is a free, open-source GUI application written in Perl that designs primers for standard PCR, bisulphite PCR, real-time PCR (QPCR) and sequencing. PerlPrimer aims to automate and simplify the process of primer design.
Main features:
- Calculation of possible primer-dimers
- Retrieval of genomic or cdna sequences from Ensembl (including both sequences automatically for QPCR)
- Ability to BLAST search primers using the NCBI server or a local server
- Results can be saved or optionally exported in a tab-delimited format that is compatible with most spreadsheet applications.
- ORF and CpG island detection algorithms
- Ability to add cloning sequences to primers, automatically adjusted to be in-frame
- QPCR primer design without manual intron-exon boundary entry
PerlPrimer calculates primer melting temperature using J. SantaLucias extensive nearest-neighbour thermodynamic parameters. To adjust for the salt conditions of the PCR, PerlPrimer uses the empirical formula derived by von Ahsen, et al. (2001) and allows the user to specify the concentration of Mg2+, dNTPs and primers, or use standard PCR conditions. The result is a highly accurate prediction of primer melting temperature, giving rise to a maximum yeild of product when amplified.
PerlPrimer is written in Perl and Perl/Tk. In addition, for QPCR functionality PerlPrimer uses the open-source Spidey executable from NCBI, and restriction enzyme data from the REBASE project is used when adding cloning sites. The program is designed to be cross-platform compatible and has been developed and tested on both Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux-based operating systems. Users have also reported success using the program under Mac OS X.
Enhancements:
- Ensembl compatibility restored once again (slight change in the searchview output was causing problems)

Acme::Test::Weather is a Perl module to test the weather conditions for a user.

SYNOPSIS

use Test::Weather;
plan tests => 2;

# You may only install something
# when its nice outside.

&isnt_snowing();
&isnt_cloudy();

# output:

1..2
ok 1 - its partly cloudy in Montreal, Canada
not ok 2 - its partly cloudy in Montreal, Canada
# Failed test (./t/mtl.t at line 5)
# Partly Cloudy
# matches (?i-xsm:bcloudy)
# Looks like you failed 1 tests of 2.

The package determines a users location by looking up their hostname / IP address using the CAIDA::NetGeo::Client package.

Based on the data returned, weather conditions are polled using the Weather::Underground package.

Because, you know, it may be important to your Perl module that its raining outside...
