Umicons provides Icons for KDE!
I have convertet in many hours over 2500 icons for KDE.
There are many icons which arent used by KDE. Just take a look in the folders.
Many thanks to mattahan, the creator of the icons, for his agreement to convert this icons for KDE.
Window-Decoration and style is "Plastik".
Enhancements:
- Many, many new icons (the most are NOT used by KDE so look intothe folders for personal use).
- Now over 700 different icons. See the screenshots.
- 3 wallpapers included (also the one from my screenshots).

vines is a small application which draws vines on your X or SunView screen.
vines draws vines (wandering plants made up mostly of stems and leaves) on your X11 or SunView screen.
By default it draws in black and white, but color options (spring and fall) are provided.
The vines can grow across the top of your screen and down the side, down from the top of your screen until they reach the bottom, or start from the center and wander all over the screen forever.
Enhancements:
- added -z option (show version)
- added -F option (was described in README, but unimplemented!)
- added -x option (X11 synchronize)
- added -G option (growth rate)
- added -E option (edges, including bottom)
- added -P option (palette files, with samples in Vines/)
- beefed up -g option
- changed -h to -H for halt, added -h for help (like -?)
- revamped help
- various code cleanups
- various command line option and error message cleanups
- minor optimizations
- code now compiles cleanly (for X and linux, anyway)
- patched for ugly runtime bug on Dell/Linux 2.0.34/gcc 2.7.2
- added man page, CHANGES, MANIFEST, LEGALSTUFF
- added Imakefile, Makefile-noImake
- revamped README
- changed name to vines
- added sample leaf and stem template files (Sample.leaf, Sample.stem)

pvrusb is a Linux driver for the WinTV PVR USB (not the plain WinTV USB), a USB MPEG2 encoder with a TV tuner. The WinTV PVR USB is a video capture device attached to the USB bus. The purpose is similar to the PCI version (WinTV PVR), but this driver is for the USB version only. Follow this link for a Linux driver for the PCI version.

This device has also not much to do with the plain WinTV USB, because the WinTV PVR USB contains a MPEG2 encoder, which the simple WinTV USB does not contain. The higher compression ratio of the WinTV PVR USB gives much better video quality at higher resolutions than the WinTV USB. Support for the Pinnacle Bungee is still incomplete.

Some notes about the program:

You need the WinTV PVR firmware ROM from Hauppauge ("HCWUSB.UPD.ROM" or "USB_MPEG2_POPNOISEFIX.ROM"). I obtained the files by installing the WinTV software on a Windows machine. The files do not contain any copyright notice, but for now I just assume Hauppauge would not want me to distribute them and so I wont.
You can upload the firmware into the driver after inserting the module using:
dd if=USB_MPEG2_POPNOISEFIX.ROM of=/proc/pvrusb/firmware bs=256k
To display information about the currently loaded firmware:
cat /proc/pvrusb/firmware
The driver attaches itself to /dev/usb/lp0 (yes, the USB printer special file). YES, this is stupid. I will change it soon.
To save the MPEG2 stream try:
cat /dev/usb/lp0 > data.mpg
To watch TV attach a signal to the composite input and use MPlayer:
mplayer /dev/usb/lp0
The tuner is not programmed yet. I will probably add tuner support soon.
I have a WinTV with NTSC tuner. I cannot add PAL tuner support until I get access to a PAL WinTV.

uCON64 project is a game backup tool and emulator Swiss Army knife program.
uCON64 is a tool to backup all kinds of video games (cartridges and CDs).
It supports most available backup units for cartridge-based consoles. It also performs many other tasks, like ROM hacking and conversion of proprietary CD images for use with cdrecord.
Support for many different backup units to backup/restore ROM(s) and SRAM(s) is also continuously added and updated (if their manufacturers cooperate).
Supports all common patch file formats like IPS (with RLE compression), APS, BSL (Baseline Patch format), PPF (Playstation Patch File), and Game Genie
Support for use and creation of RomCenter Data files (DAT) for secure detection of bad dumps.
Has many options for every kind of ROM or SRAM handling, modification, and management .
Supports gzip and zip.

Minipup is a linux distribution useful for 128MB-RAM devices.

Use the base ISO for file management, media playing and browsing - uses the Opera browser/email/chat suite.

Note: To use this software in CD-ROM-less devices, burn the ISO to a CD and boot it in a regular PC. Start "Setup - Universal Installer" and install it either to "Compact Flash (CF) to be used as IDE" or to USB flash. Use the CF/USB flash to boot the device.

vp-usb-lock is a Linux kernel driver and PAM module that utilizes the PC wireless USB lock and makes it possible to use it as authentication method for your Linux box.
It is easy to install, but needs access to the sources of the kernel and PAM to build correctly. It has been tested under Fedora Core 2 with a custom made 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 kernel, but it should also work with other kernel versions and distributions.
Enhancements:
- A lock daemon was added.
- A compilation error that was introduced lately by some changes to the Linux kernel was fixed.
- Support for kernel 2.4.x versions was added.

PostGIS adds support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database. In effect, PostGIS "spatially enables" the PostgreSQL server, allowing it to be used as a backend spatial database for geographic information systems (GIS), much like ESRIs SDE or Oracles Spatial extension.

PostGIS follows the OpenGIS "Simple Features Specification for SQL" and will be submitted for conformance testing at version 1.0.

PostGIS has been developed by Refractions Research Inc as a research project in open source spatial database technology. PostGIS is released under the GNU General Public License. Our list of future projects includes enhanced technology for data loading and dumping, user interface tools for direct data access and manipulation, and support for advanced topologies at the server side, such as coverages, networks, and surfaces.

There are now several open source tools which work with PostGIS. The uDig project is working on a full read amd write desktop environment that can work with PostGIS directly.

For internet mapping, the University of Minnesota Mapserver can use PostGIS as a data source. The GeoTools Java GIS toolkit has PostGIS support, as does the GeoServer Web Feature Server.

GRASS now supports PostGIS as a data source, through the PostGRASS driver. The JUMP Java desktop GIS viewer has a simple plugin for reading PostGIS data, and the QGIS desktop has good PostGIS support.

PostGIS data can be exported to several output GIS formats using the OGR C++ library and commandline tools (and of cource with the bundled Shape file dumper). And of course any language which can work with PostgreSQL can work with PostGIS -- the list includes Perl, PHP, Python, TCL, C, C++, Java, and more.

Installation:

Un-tar the PostGIS tar-ball in the contrib directory of your PostgreSQL source tree. You must untar the PostGIS source there or the Makefile will not work. You must have the PL/pgSQL prodedural language installed before installing PostGIS.

cd contrib
gunzip postgis-0.9.0.tar.gz
tar xvf postgis-0.9.0.tar
cd postgis-0.9.0
make
make install
createlang plpgsql yourtestdatabase
psql -d yourtestdatabase -f postgis.sql
psql -d yourtestdatabase -f spatial_ref_sys.sql
