Astro IIDC 4.05.03
Astro IIDC is designed to work with a wide variety of low and high end, color or monochrome, 8 or 16 bit FireWire 400 or FireWire 800 cameras. more>>
Astro IIDC 4.05.03 is designed to work with a wide variety of low and high end, color or monochrome, 8 or 16 bit FireWire 400 or FireWire 800 cameras. It has a simple intuitive interface, can record movies, grab frames, grab averaged frames, grab sums of frames, has extensive Altivec / SSE3 optimization for real time processing for flat field, dark frame, image alignment and stacking, supports movie recording as fast as 240 frames per second to disk or as long as 1 hour per frame.
The application utilizes industrial strength Altivec / SSE3 optimized IIDC/DCAM Version 2.0 Framework to control the camera and extracts the raw bayer or monochrome images from the CCD. "Astro IIDC" requires a PowerPC G4 / G5 Desktop or Powerbook OR any MacIntel.
Major Features:
- Simple and easy to use interface in a single camera control window as shown in the screen snap shot to the right. All camera control adjustments are done with a full size scrollable live preview image so there is none of this modal QuickTime tiny 160x120 pixel image approximations nonsense, pure WYSIWYG.
- Works with most inexpensive monochrome or color FireWire web type cameras (see list at page bottom for details).
- Works with most high end 640x480 to 4096x4096 size, 8 and 16 bit per pixel, monochrome or bayer color FireWire 400 and Firewire 800 cameras (see list at page bottom for details).
- Utilizes ASC's industrial strength, preemptively multi threaded, Altivec / SSE3 enhanced IIDC/DCAM framework code, with no dependency on QuickTime or other FireWire drivers for camera control. "Astro IIDC" directly accesses the FireWire camera and extracts the raw bayer or monochrome CCD data. No YUV color aliasing as decode the bayer color data using own custom 2x2, 3x3 and 5x5 kernels.
- For inexpensive FireWire cameras provides extended CCD exposure times from as fast as 1/3000th of a second down to 1.029 seconds, without any hardware modifications. That is 31 times more light gathering capability than anyone else's software and adds a new dimension for lower light imaging.
- For high end FireWire cameras provides CCD exposure times from 1/10000 of a second to 60 minutes (depending on the camera), Region Of Interest and records movies as fast as 240 frames per second.
- Supports user definable Average and Spot Color Balance, allowing you to balance against any color you want, not just white.
- Single click to Grab a frame, Grab a user defined burst of frames and average them (for noise reduction) or Grab a burst of frames and sum them (for enhancing low light imaging). Supports frame grabs in TIFF (Mono8, Mono16, RGB24 or RGB48), PNG (8 or 16 bit), BMP, PhotoShop, PICT, JPEG and FITS (Mono8 or Mono16 bit) file formats.

- Supports Altivec / SSE3 enhanced Flat Frame division and Dark Frame subtraction to provide for real time removal of optical imperfections (i.e. dust, hairs, vignetting etc.) and to reduce CCD noise.
- Provides live Sharpness estimators using pixel edge detection or FWHM / HFD for a focussing aid and can also be used to exclude air turbulence blurred images from being grabbed as frames or recorded in a movie.
- Logs all your camera settings for every frame grabbed or movie recorded to a text file, so that you can easily recall exactly what settings were used when each image image was captured. Also allows you to enter user notes notes for each frame grabbed or movie recorded.
- Records QuickTime Movies at frame rates up to 240 frames per second down to as slow as 1 frame per minute, user selectable. All movies are recorded with a Greenwich Mean Time relative Time Code track, so that the time for each recorded frame can be determined within 1 frame duration.
- Imageprocessing Provides a 16 bit LRGB64 bit Altivec optimized real time Image Processing Module, featuring multi radii spatially dependent sharpening, log square root curve stretching, RGB level adjustments, RGB gain adjustments, RGB Saturation, R and B color channel spatial offsets for atmospheric correction, multiple noise reduction algorithms and zoom.
- Provides multi - threaded real time automated alignment and stacking of video, both for live image capture and post with recorded 8 or 16 bit per pixel movies. All Altivec enhanced stacking, sharpening, aligning and processing is done at a full 32 bits per color channel (Mono32 or RGB96) so that no image data is lost or compromised.
- Allows you to automatically or manually select which frames are included for stacking. Provides up to 500 user selectable areas of interest for Multiple Area Processing (MAP).

wayback 1.4.0
Open source java implementation of the The Internet Archive Wayback Machine more>> Open source java implementation of the The Internet Archive Wayback Machine
The current production version of the Wayback Machine is implemented in perl, and lacks in maintainability and extensibility. Also, the code is not open source. Primary motivation for the new version is to address these three issues, enabling public distribution of the application, and easy experimentation with new features and access technologies.
The current Java version of the Wayback Machine supports three access, or Replay modes of operation: "Archival Url" mode "Proxy" mode, and "Domain Prefix" mode.
Archival URL mode provides a user experience very close to the current production Wayback Machine. All query and replay access requests can be expressed as URLs. In Archival Url replay mode, archived content is modified as it is returned to users, attempting to make links and embedded content refer back to the Wayback Machine by rewriting them as Archival URLs.
Proxy URL mode allows replaying of archived documents within a client browser by configuring the browser to proxy all HTTP requests through the Wayback Machine. This has the strong advantage that no Javascript or server side page markup is required to coerce the client browser to request additional URLs and embedded content from the Wayback Machine -- content just works as-is.
When used with the Firefox plugin extension, available here , client browsers can navigate between versions of the current document, and the Wayback Machine server will attempt to display images from the same time period as pages being viewed.
The Proxy URL mode will require special configuration of the client web browser to access the Wayback Service. This browser configuration is not complex, but it means that content will not be available as a global URL.
DomainPrefix mode is similar to ArchivalUrl mode, but uses a wildcard DNS scheme to rewrite URLs, allowing all URL substitution to occur on the server. This mode is considered experimental.
The current Java version can operate in several deployment modes, ranging from a stand alone application on a single host holding all archived documents and indexes, up to a highly distributed system where indexes and archived content is spread across hundreds of machines.
In the local, standalone mode, this software includes the capability to scan for new archived content in a specified location, and to automatically index and serve the new content as it appears.
Directing the Wayback to look for ARC files in the directory where an instance of the Heritrix web crawler is writing ARC output should provide the capability to browse content archived by Heritrix as it is crawled.
System requirements:
-
-
Enhancements:
- Completely new implementation of ResourceStore classes, including recursive local directory scanning, scanning multiple local directories, an experimental remote directory scanning capability, and groundwork for future support of both non ARC/WARC file formats and large scale automatic indexing.
- Complete overhaul of the Replay system, allowing jspInserts within ArchivalUrl, DomainPrefix, and Proxy replay modes. Also includes groundwork for future fine-grained mime-type and url-based Replay customizations.
- Added capability to explicitly set Locale to use for an AccessPoint, overriding the default behavior of using the user agents specified preferred language.
- New flat file implementation of FileLocationDB. See CDXCollection.xml within the .war file for and example usage.
- AnchorDate feature, tracking the date with which a user begins a replay session. During this session, wayback will always attempt to remain near this date, preventing time-drift within a replay session.
- AnchorWindow feature, which allows users to specify a maximum time window in either direction of the AnchorDate that they wish to view replayed content. When a user has set this option, Wayback will not display captures outside the specified window.
- New command line tool location-db to create a location DB offline, populating with lines read from STDIN.
- Added new AccessControlSettingOperation authentication control component, allowing the configuration of the appropriate Exclusion system per-request, as defined by arbitrary BooleanOperators. See ComplexAccessPoint.xml within the .war file for an example usage.
- Added .asx archival URL replay, which rewrites links inside archived .asx files, attempting to make them point back into the Wayback service.
- Now accept "http:/" as identical to "http://" in the beginning of a URL, working around a browser bug which stripped multiple "/"s in URL paths.
- @ Refactoring of ResourceIndex interfaces, to allow for future update-able ResourceIndex implementations beyond BDBIndex based ResourceIndexes.
- Major internal refactoring of WaybackRequest object, providing more stable get/set methods for accessing the standard internal fields with type-safety.
- Major internal refactoring of SearchResults into CaptureSearchResults and UrlSearchResults, which was previously under-specified and often confusing. These new classes provide more stable get/set methods for accessing the standard internal fields with type-safety.
- Changed locations of replay, query, and exception .jsp files within .war file to underneath WEB-INF, so they are not directly accessible via HTTP.
- German translation of default Wayback UI. Thanks Andreas!
- Czech translation of default Wayback UI. Thanks Lukáš MatÄ jka! (
JaxoDraw 1.3-2
JaxoDraw - Feynman diagrams made easy more>>
Fine-tuning of the diagrams is also possible through keyboard entries. Graphs may be exported to (encapsulated) postscript and can be saved in XML files to be used in later sessions.
However, the main feature of JaxoDraw is the possibility of generating LaTeX code that makes use of J. Vermaserens axodraw package to compile.
In fact the main motivation for writing JaxoDraw was to create a graphical user interface for the axodraw package. In that way, we combine the power of axodraw and LaTeX (such as METAFONT labels), with the easiness of a what-you-see-is-what-you-get interface.
Enhancements:
New features
- Make the Mac OS X README file available from the Help menu (Mac only).
Bug fixes
- Arc drawing bugs:
The faint box is not drawn when you are in Arc mode.
If you are in Arc mode, arcs and right/center click + dragging 2 times + left click you will get an arc on the Canvas.
- Fixed the bug that text edit panels didnt have focus.
- Fixed the bug that the fill color was not preserved after editing a fill object.
- Fixed a bug with the rendering of double lines.
- Fixed the bug that editing a postscript text did not work in a saved and re-opened graph.
QBoard 20080914
A Qt-based GUI for playing arbitrary board-style games more>> A Qt-based GUI for playing arbitrary board-style games
QBoard is a UI for playing near-arbitrary board games. QBoard is mainly intended as a testing platform for playing board game designs.
Main features:>
- A simple interface for quickly setting up and playing a boardgame.
- Has powerful and flexible save and load features, making it easy to add load/save support for new data types.
- Get right to playing - there is no tedious separate setup of "gameset" and "scenario" files, as there is in, e.g., CyberBoard (arguably the most well-known application in this category).
- Has no inherent limits on how many pieces can be in play. It has been shown to easily handle more than 500 at a time.
- As QBoard has only a fluid concept of what a "game" is, it is possible to mix and match pieces from arbitrary Gamesets in the same session.
- A zoomable, rotatable playing area (game board + pieces).
- Full control over game piece background colors, transparency, rotation, and border (color, transparency, size, line style). Finally: translucent game pieces!
- Supports an arbitrary number of dockable "minimap" views, all fully interactive and synchronized in real time.
- On-board HTML widgets, so you can annotate your game as much as you like. You can also attach HTML widgets directly to arbitrary game pieces.
- On-board "dots", with varying sizes and transparency, can be used as pieces by themselves or e.g. as state markers.
- On-board lines, with customizable colors, line size, and transparency level. Useful for marking movement paths (or histories), firing ranges or arcs, line of sight, and such.
- Pieces can have "child objects" which follow them around when the piece is dragged. e.g. one can add a text label, a record form, or status markers to any piece.
- Use copy, paste, and cloning to quickly set up an army of pieces.
- "Shuffle" any items by selecting several items and using the Shuffle menu option. Useful for cards, simulating a cup of chits, and randomizing piece selection or placement.
- JavaScript bindings are under developement. The basic stuff works, but this work is ongoing.
- Built-in wiki viewer which supports most of the wiki syntax provided by Google Code Wiki (e.g. this page).
System requirements:
-
-
Enhancements:
- RSI is acting up from all the typing the past weeks (during the days at work, and 8-10 hours/night at home). i dont know if ill be able to code much the next few weeks.
- The app essentially does everything i want it to do. Most of what i want to do now is refinement.
- The JS bindings need some re-thought, and i think im going to strip out the current work and start from scratch on those, basing the bindings off of the work from the Qt Script Generator project. That will take more time than i can currently commit to, though.

O'Clock 1.2
OClock is considered to be a high-quality and effective arc ranging from the hour-hand to the minute-hand. more>>
O'Clock 1.2 is considered to be a high-quality and effective arc ranging from the hour-hand to the minute-hand. It is therefore always possible to "see the time" on this clock. If the shape is, say a capital C, the time would be something like 17:05. The publisher didn't look into Tiggr's source, but considering the differences (or lack thereof) between OpenStep and Mac OS X it is probably much like mine.
The home page, and Tiggr's home page (both can be accessed from this Screen Saver's configuration screen) have links to other implementations of this clock, including a version for javascript, NeXT, Windows, Classic Mac OS (Stand Alone, and for After Dark) and even a hardware implementation.
To use this module double-click it to install. If you want to install it manually simply put it in your user directory, in "~/Library/Screen Savers" or system-wide in "/Library/Screen Savers". Then use the System Preferences... panel to select this Screen Saver.
Enhancements:
- Compatible with Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6.
- Universal binary version, 10.6 (Snow Leopard) compatible
- 10.4 or later required (If you need to run it on older system software use version 1.1 or earlier)
