Monkey Cricket project is a small game of cricket.

It runs under X window system and requires the GTK+ library. This game prject is distributed under the GNU GPL.The Project includes source so that developers can change and re-distribute the code.

Playing the game is straight forward. You can stat a new game choosing the new game menu item from the game menu. Then you will be asked to select your team. It is very simple, you can select your team from the given list of players using the IN and OUT buttons.

You can save your dream team to a file which can be later opened to reduce the overhead of selecting the team members each time a new game is started. Before starting the new game, you can set the conditions of the pitch. The pitch can be set to behave in three ways, batting, medium and balling. I hope you understood what it is.

After selecting your team members it is the time select your opponent. You will have to select your opponent from the given list.

Then call the toss, if you won the toss you can select to bat or ball according to your choice. Else the other captain will decide what you should do.

archivemail is a tool written in Python for archiving and compressing old email in mailboxes. archivemail can move messages older than the specified number of days to a separate mbox format mailbox that is compressed with gzip, or optionally just delete old email.
Maybe some of your mailboxes are quite large (eg, over 10,000 messages) and they are taking a while to load in your mail reader. Perhaps they are taking up too much space on your disk. Archiving old messages to a separate, compressed mailbox will mean:
1. Your mail reader will get a huge performance boost loading and reading your mail.
2. You will be taking up less disk space, since old mail will be compressed. (Mail usually compresses quite nicely.)
3. You wont be confronted with semi-obsolete mail all the time.
If you would prefer to just delete old email rather than archive it, archivemail can do that too.
Main features:
- Support for archiving IMAP, mbox, MH and maildir format mailboxes.
- You can configure the amount of days before mail is considered old -- with the default being 180 days.
- Messages that are flagged important are not archived or deleted unless you specify the --include-flagged option.
- Optionally warn about duplicate Message-IDs in a mailbox.
- You can specify an option so that unread mail is never archived.
- Allows you to store the compressed archive mailboxes in a directory of your choice, with an extension of your choice.
- Support for deleting old mail rather than archiving it.
- Optional ability to archive messages older than an absolute date with the --date option.
- Ability to only archive messages over a certain byte size.

VoiceBuntu (Ubunterisk) is an Ubuntu based live Linux distribution that uses Asterisk and VoiceOne to provide VoIP service.
VoiceBuntus focus is to run asterisk with no installation needed. VoiceBuntu - ubuntu itself - has built in boot prompt cheap code one can use called persistent.
This feature allows the user to use VoiceBuntus persistent feature in order to keep settings on a flash disk or memory stick.
To start, just burn the ISO file on a CD-ROM then start the live cd distribution and wait until everything is ready.
Please note, that apache will start at the very last moment of the boot cycle. So you may a to wait 1 or 2 minutes to let everything load.
Once everything is prepared, start your browser and point to the IP address of your running VoiceBuntu (i.e. http://192.168.0.10).
If you have no DHCP Server available you can press F6 at boot screen and add additionally add the command parameter
static=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
netmask=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
bcast=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
gateway=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
dns1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
dns2=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of your choice.
By that VoiceBuntu boots with static IP address on eth0 network device.
Enhancements:
- This live CD release is based on Ubuntu 7.04 and VoiceOne 0.5.0_2 due to a minor bug in VoiceOne version 0.5.0.

grub-choose-default is a simple but handy GUI to set the grub default for the next boot.

Control Grub Default through a GUI

Do you have a dual boot system? Isnt it annoying when you want to reboot from Linux into Windows or vice-versa, and you have to wait for the machine to shut down, BIOS to initialize just so that you can now select the OS that you want to boot into?

grub-choose-default gives you a GUI that you can use to easily select the next default for grub and you can go and grab a snack while your computer reboots without having to wait for anything.

Its a very simple program that just reads your grub menu entries and then lets you click on the one you want to be the next default.

How It Works

In grubs menu.lst file you need to specify default saved, so that grub consults the file default in the grub directory to see which entry it should boot. That file is then modified by grub-choose-default

Cross Platform

grub-choose-default is written in Python (which is required to be installed at the moment) and works under Linux and Windows.

Under Linux it reads /boot/grub/menu.lst and writes your choice to /boot/grub/default

Then grub-choose-default searches all your drives for a grub/menu.lst or a boot/grub/menu.lst. There currently is no way to specify manually where menu.lst resides, please let me know if this is needed.

Fast Date Picker project is a calendar which is easy to integrate into pages that require the users to select a date like on travel sites.
Written in ECMAScript, it responds faster to the users clicks than most of the server-side-based or Java-applet-based date pickers often found on travel sites today.
The calendar can be added to your page any way you want (e.g. as a pop-up window or an expandable
