AppleScript: The Definitive Guide
by Catie Flick (http://freshmeat.net/~liedra/)
Section: Book Reviews
Sat, Sep 24th 2005 00:00
AppleScript: The Definitive Guide most certainly is a definitive guide,
with an awful lot of information about anything and everything you could
possibly want to know about AppleScript. The problem is that the nuggets
of useful information are often hidden deep within either complicated
examples revolving around expensive specialist software, or in amongst
extremely detailed in-depth examinations of the underlying processes
running AppleScript. Although interesting to some, this will be a little
daunting to the average programmer attracted to AppleScript. However, the
book is definitely an excellent reference for existing AppleScript
programmers, those who have some previous knowledge in programming, or
those interested in MacOS X technology.

Sat, Sep 24th 2005 01:01
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: MIDI
About: ALSA MIDI Kommander is a DCOP interface exposing many ALSA
Sequencer features for shell scripts, Kommander scripts, or KDE programs
requiring MIDI sequencer services. A few utilities are included, which can
be used both as programming examples and as real work tools. The main
program, "kaseq" is a single executable used as a DCOP service program. It
runs as a daemon, allowing only a single running instance, and provides a
system tray icon to give visual feedback for MIDI activity and a way to
control the program's execution.

Office/Business :: Financial :: Investment
Software Development :: Libraries
About: CCAPI is a financial application library for Java. CCAPI provides
interfaces for automated stock exchange trading through Cortal Consors. In
addition, CCAPI provides functions to retrieve online quotes from various
data sources, including EUWAX, Consors, Comdirect, and Yahoo!.
Furthermore, CCAPI provides a comprehensive library of technical and
mathematical indicator implementations, like MACD, SMA, EMA, RSI, Williams
%R, Correlation, and more.
Changes: The Database layer has been extended with two new functions:
saveDaxTick() and getDaxTick(). These two functions save and load the dax
tick from the file system, making it available for other processes. The
file is located at /opt/uls/data/daxTick. The Database layer now tries to
load database properties from /opt/uls/etc/database.properties. This is a
major milestone towards proper integration into Linux as an application
platform.

is now limited to 20 levels of depth, and this should solve the infinite
recursion issue, which showed itself on the Gentoo /boot partition. The
directory being scanned to the console is written. Some comments were
corrected. The new MonoDevelop 0.7 project files were added.

Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
System
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
About: Heartbeat provides a heartbeat and IP address takeover functions
for a high-availability Linux cluster. It monitors the members of the
cluster and tells you when one goes down in less than a second. The
current version runs over serial ports and UDP broadcast/multicast, as
well as OpenAIS multicast. It is easily adapted to different interconnect
media and protocols. It will re-allocate IP addresses and other resources
to other members of the cluster when a machine goes down, and move them
back when it comes back up. Versions starting with 2.0 are comparable to
any commercial HA package, providing resource monitoring, larger clusters,
and detailed dependency information.
Changes: A bug in the ping directive was fixed. A check was added to
BasicSanityCheck to check the ping and ping_group directives. cl_status
nodestatus was fixed to return success if a node has the status "ping". A
memory leak in the CRM's LRM interface code was fixed along with the code
that determines which version of the CRM becomes the DC when basic CIB
schema versions differ. It now prefers the older version to be DC instead
of the newer version.

About: ProxyTrack is a simple proxy server that delivers content archived
by HTTrack sessions. It can aggregate multiple download caches, for direct
use (through any browser) or as an upstream cache slave server. This proxy
can handle HTTP/1.1 proxy connections, and is able to reply to ICPv2
requests for an efficient integration within other cache servers, such as
Squid. It can also handle transparent HTTP requests to allow cached live
connections inside an offline network.
Changes: This release adds limited WebDAV (RFC2518) primitives for

Communications :: Chat
Communications :: Chat :: ICQ
Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat
About: psycMUVE is a distributed chat and messaging system based on the
Protocol for SYnchronous Conferencing. PSYC is multicast and routed
between servers and clients in a scalable and efficient way, but users can
also comfortably use IRC clients, telnet, Web chat, or Jabber to enter the
network. psycMUVE communicates with Jabber/XMPP servers and host chat
rooms that are freely programmable and cannot be hacked. It also provides
gateways to several IRC networks, but unlike IRC, everyone can run a
server and be an equal member of the PSYC network.
Changes: This release adds several fixes and improvements in the Jabber
implementation, asynchronous authentication, Mediawiki integration, more
ready-to-use conference control options, a multipass shutdown sequence,
new setting to filter presence, and XMLRPC Support. The MUC Emulation now
allows remote Jabber users a large part of the standard PSYC command set,
not just /me. Runtime errors can now be displayed in a fancy per-protocol
fashion.

System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: sshdfilter automatically blocks ssh brute force attacks by reading
sshd log output in real time and adding iptables rules based on
authentication failures. Block rules are created by logging on with an
invalid user name, or wrongly guessing the password for an existing
account. Block rules are removed after a week to maintain a small list of
blocks. It also comes with a LogWatch filter.
Changes: Support for IPv6 addressing was added, which is needed for some
recent distributions, such as Debian 3.1 Sarge.

[030] - Task Coach 0.48
by Frank Niessink (http://freshmeat.net/users/fniessink/)
Sat, Sep 24th 2005 14:08
Office/Business :: Scheduling
About: Task Coach is a simple todo manager to manage personal tasks and
todo lists. It grew out of a frustration that well-known task managers,
such as those provided with Outlook or Lotus Notes, do not provide
facilities for composite tasks. Often, tasks and other things to do
consist of several activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with
composite tasks.
Changes: The previous release of Task Coach contained two nasty bugs.
Filtering tasks by status ("View" -> "Tasks that are" -> "...") would
cause an exception, and sorting by days left would also cause an
exception. This release fixes those two bugs.
