Free xboard stories software for linux

XBoard project is a X and Windows graphical chessboard.
XBoard is a graphical chessboard for X that can serve as a user interface for GNU Chess, Crafty, other chess engines, and the Internet Chess Servers.
XBoard can also be used by itself to read and write game files in PGN (portable game notation). WinBoard is a port of XBoard to Microsoft Win32.
You can build xboard on most systems with the following commands.
./configure
make
Enhancements:
- Version 4.2.7 corrects about two dozen bugs in the 4.2.6 release.
- In addition, WinBoard 4.2.7 comes bundled with GNU Chess 5.07 instead of the old 5.02+ version.
- The XBoard and WinBoard source code trees have been merged, so the xboard download now contains the complete source for both.

PictureStories lets you make little webpages of stories you write where some of the words are replaced with images which is called rebus. What makes PictureStories cool is that the images are dynamically pulled from popular web-based image search engines (like Google).

Weve seen lots of cute little storybooks for kids that are like this, and we thought itd be neat to be able to do my own. Someone has probably had this idea before, but we couldnt find anything online anywhere, so we wrote it.

Local Lyrics is a python based amaroK-script requires amaroK 1.4!

I wrote simple wrappers for dcop-calls (using the shell-tool dcop), kdialog and amaroKs script system while writing this script. Use them if you want (its all LGPL) See the .tar.bz2s contense and: http://twoday.tuwien.ac.at/pub/stories/22759/

This lyrics-plugin simply scans a selected folder for textfiles with lyrics. This might be usefull when you have a lot of lyrics stored on your harddisc, but they are not available on lyrc.com.ar or a simmilar service.

Installation:

Open the lyrics-filesystem-x.x.amarokscript.tar.bz2 with amaroKs script managers script install option.

Usage:

Start the script with amaroKs script manager.
Select the directory in which the lyrics are stored.
The filenames of the lyrics have to be:

"artist - title.txt"
or
"title.txt"

Now amaroK will search this folder for lyrics, when there are none in its database for the current track.

BoboMail is a so called webmail application, which provides mail access through a web interface.
It is distributed under the GNU GPL. See COPYING in the package or go to http://www.gnu.org for details.
The first version of BoboMail was used for about a year and a half in the intranet of the Computer Club Ostfriesland (one of Germanys largest computer clubs, see http://www.cco-ev.de if you understand German). I wrote my own webmailer, because at that time only some Perl scripts were available, which were not easy to customize (e.g. German interface).
The name of BoboMail comes from former name of ZPublisher, a cgi framework used by the developer.
I hope you will find BoboMail usefull. Please send complaints (e.g. spelling mistakes), criticism, security advices, suggestions, praises and everything else to ich@henning-schroeder.de or visit me (Henning) on my personal webpage at http://www.henning-schroeder.de/en Important acknowledgement: This product includes software developed by Digital Creations for use in the Z Object Publishing Environment (htt://www.zope.org).
The BoboMail distribution contains Zopes ZPublisher and ZTemplates. These compoments underly the Zope Public License (ZPL). They are packages with BoboMail for easier installation. BoboMail is hosted at Sourceforge (http://sourceforge.net). If you are interested in BoboMail development please visit the its webpage at http://bobomail.sourceforge.net Besides I want to make BoboMail even more modular so that my stuff can be used for a mailinglist archiver or a web-forum. Attention: I really would like to know where you will use BoboMail. Please tell me your success stories

Dreamchess is a XBoard-compatible 3D chess interface and engine.
DreamChess is an open source chess game. Our primary target platforms are Linux, Windows, Dreamcast and BeOS. DreamChess features 3D OpenGL graphics and provides various chess board sets, ranging from classic wooden to flat figurines.
A moderately strong chess engine is included: Dreamer. However, should this engine be too weak for you, then you can use any other XBoard-compatible chess engine, including the popular Crafty and GNU Chess.
Other features include on-screen move lists using SAN notation, undo functionality, and savegames in PGN format. In future releases we plan to add support for time controls, audio, network play, more visual effects such as reflections and shadows, and 3D animated pieces.
Enhancements:
- 3D OpenGL user interface (XBoard-compatible).
- A variety of chess sets, including classic wooden and flat figurines.
- Moderately strong chess engine.
- Savegames in PGN format.

recoverPhotos is a program that recovers digital images from camera memory cards that have been formatted or damaged.
This program relies on the fact that most photos are composed of contiguous sectors. If you tend to delete a lot of photos before a format, then you might not have very good success. But if you are like me: who reformats every time) then you fill get most of your pictures back.
This program has only been tested with a 20d. Any success stories are welcome.
HOW TO USE
To run this program I recommend you first copy the contents of the card to a file in your machine. The easiest way is to use the dd command.
Instructions:
- Connect the camera or the flashcard to the computer.
- Check what is the mount point for your camera or the flashcard. You can use the mount command for this. For example in my computer the flashcard is mounted as device /dev/sdc1
dmg@platinum recoverPhotos]$ mount
[...]
/dev/sdc1 on /media/EOS_DIGITAL type vfat ...
[...]
Now, use dd to copy the flashcard to a file. For example, this command copies the contents of my memory card to a file called /tmp/card.bytes (You might need to run this command as root).
dd if=/dev/sdc1 of=/tmp/card.bytes
Make sure the device name (in this case /dev/sdc1) is correct!
The resulting file should have the same size as the flashcard.
./recoverPhotos /tmp/card.bytes
and check the output. Hopefully you will have a bunch of photos in the current directory. Run the program without parameters to see all the options available.
CANON USERS
If you use a camera that uses the custom function "Add Decision Data" (CF18 in the D20), and you are 100% sure it was on when you took the photos, then make sure you specify the --canonADD option. The option is not critical (it is not part of the photo), but the data is there if you want to recover it.
Enhancements:
- JPEG and Canon CR2 files are supported.

madlibs engine project is a MadLibs clone.

The madlibs engine is a tiny engine for MadLibs-like interactive stories. Basically, you enter different words of a certain part of speech.

The program pastes them into a story text, creating weird, funny, or stupid results.

It runs on anything from a line printer to an xterm.

Slibo project is a chess interface and engine for KDE.

Slibo aims to be a comfortable replacement for the xboard chess interface, written for OpenGL and KDE.

It uses the xboard protocol and can be used with common chess engines like crafty or gnuchess, but it provides its own chess engine too.

Though its designed to be easy to use for the new chess player, it supports playing multiple games the same time, or anaylzing PGN files with multiple engines.
