Exult 1.2

Exult 1.2


Exult - Ultima 7-like RPG game more>>
Ultima 7, an RPG from the early 1990s, still has a huge following. But, being a DOS game with a very non-standard memory manager, it is difficult to run it on the latest computers. Exult is a project to create an Ultima 7 game engine that runs on modern operating systems, capable of using the data and graphics files that come with the game.
First you need to get Ultima 7. Either you own it already, or you buy it somewhere. Then you must install it on a DOS/Windows machine in order to get the data file. A good way is to use a PC emulator for this, e.g. Virtual PC, Real PC or SoftWindows.
Note that the Ultima Collection already contains an installed copy of Ultima 7. (In the Ultima7/ directory.)
From the Ultima7 folder on your PC, copy the STATIC sub folder to the folder that contains the ExultMac application.
Enhancements:
- Support for more than 1024 shapes and 2048 global flags
- In-game journal (press n for notebook
- Support SI intrinsics in BG
- New art contributed by Crysta the Elf and Berty Zhang
- Colourless has integrated Pentagrams audio subsystem in Exult:
Real MT32 support
MT32 Emulation support
Fluidsynth support
It is Better(tm).

DOFC - Depth of Field Calculator 1.6

DOFC - Depth of Field Calculator 1.6


DOFC is a handy calculator for the depth of field, no matter what camera you?ve got more>>
DOFC is a handy calculator for the depth of field, near focus, far focus and hyperfocal distance, no matter what camera you’ve got.
It’s the perfect companion for the Apple PowerBook or iBook you probably carry to store and touch-up your digital images.

DOFC is a tool that will make a nice addition to your shooting set-up, whether you shoot for soft Bokeh in portraits or ultimate sharpness in panoramic images.

Depth of Field, or DoF for short, is the distance from the camera which appears in focus. I use the word appear for good reason: Technically, there is only one single distance which is in focus. But as the human eye is easily fooled, there are adjacent areas in front and behind the subject which appear to be in focus as well.

Sharpness depends on the circumstances, but in general people see things as being sharp if a single dot doesnt expand too much. For 35mm film, the Diameter of Least Confusion, DoLC for short, is 0.029 mm -- if a single dot gets bigger than this on your slide or negative, people will see it as out of focus. Other formats have other DoLCs, and its not brain surgery to calculate them.

But its a major pain.

Everything outside this field will get blurred in the final picture. The blur can be used to make people or subjects stand out but sometimes blur is unwanted, as in landscape images. However, not knowing the DoF makes it difficult to get the right amount of blur. Theres much to read about this, please note the links I provided on the left if youre curious abut the DoLC. If you dont care, as I do, no problem.

There are tons of lists where you can look up the DoF for any given lens/f-stop combination, but with digital still cameras, everything changed. As lenses are specified with the same focal lengths as for 35 mm cameras, none of the former lists will work for your digital cam. The smaller sensor size of digital still cameras makes the focal length of your 35mm lenses longer and the DoLC gets tighter.
The Depth of Field Calculator

Knowing everything about DoF and DoLC doesnt help me in any real world situation. Having used my Nikon 35mm cams for years, I have a good feeling for all of my lenses. But the D70s changed everything.

Even worse, switching between 35mm film, Nikon DX, 1/3" and 2/3" video cameras requires a lot of paper to be carried around to calculate the DoF in any given situation. Carrying my Apple iBook works for me, as all the glass and lighting are a lot to handle on location. Hence I remembered my roots as a programmer and made this little Widget.

The solution
This Widget is a handy calculator for DoF, no matter what camera youve got. It is the perfect companion for the Apple PowerBook or iBook you probably carry to store and touch-up your digital images. DOFC will hopefully make a welcome addition to your shooting setup. If you have any questions regarding this little thing, please contact me.

PicSecret 1

PicSecret 1


PicSecret is a useful tool designed with the ability to hide secret messages in pictures by subtly altering the image in ways that are not detectable to the human eye. more>>

PicSecret 1 is a useful tool designed with the ability to hide secret messages in pictures by subtly altering the image in ways that are not detectable to the human eye. After a message has been embedded in an image, the image can be placed on a Web page, emailed to friends, or potentially even printed and hand-delivered in order to send the secret message. Since the secret message is hidden in the picture itself, and not simply tacked onto the image file's data, the secret message will not be destroyed by format conversion or by some modifications to the image. In addition, this makes the secret message difficult to detect by traditional means.

Ruffus 1.0.4

Ruffus 1.0.4


Light-weight computational pipeline management for Python developers more>> Light-weight computational pipeline management for Python developers

Ruffus is a free and open source lightweight way to add support for running computational pipelines.
Computational pipelines are often conceptually quite simple, especially if we breakdown the process into simple stages, or separate tasks.
Each stage or task in a computational pipeline is represented by a python function Each python function can be called in parallel to run multiple jobs.
The purpose of a pipeline is to determine automatically which parts of a multistage process needs to be run and in what order in order to reach an objective ("targets")
Computational pipelines, especially for analysing large scientific datasets are in widespread use. However, even a conceptually simple series of steps can be difficult to set up and to maintain, perhaps because the right tools are not available.

Main features:
- Managing dependencies
- Parallel jobs
- Re-starting from arbitrary points, especially after errors
- Display of the pipeline as a flowchart
- Reporting

System requirements:
- Python

i Cal Time Zone Fixer 0.9

i Cal Time Zone Fixer 0.9


Fixes iCal time zone when switching between time zones. more>>
i Cal Time Zone Fixer is a utility that prevents Apples iCal from changing the start and end times of calendar events when your Macs system time zone changes.

If youre an iCal user and you travel, you may have noticed that whenever you change your Macs time zone iCal moves all of your appointments by the difference in hours between the old time zone and the new one.

This makes it very difficult to manage calendars with appointments in different time zones, such as meetings on a business trip.

i Cal Time Zone Fixer addresses this problem by forcing iCal to keep all dates in the current system time zone. Since theres no difference between the calendars time zone and the systems, iCal leaves the times alone.

ASCII Tools 1.0

ASCII Tools 1.0


ASCII Tools - Show ASCII value of a character more>>
ASCII (Pronounced ASKEEEE) stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. ASCII is a code for representing characters as numbers so that they can be stored in a computers memory.
For example, uppercase "A" would be stored as 65. Before ASCII, most computers had their own codes for storing letters. This made it difficult to exhange data between computers.
For example, computer number one represents the letter A as 42 and computer number two represents the letter Q as 42, then when a text file was transferred from computer number one to computer number two, all of the As would be replaced with Qs.
ASCII was proposed and accepted as a standard code for representing characters, which allowed computers to transfer text with each other. This made email possible.
Developers often need to find out the ASCII value of a character, or vice versa, and we were tired of searching for one of the many ASCII character tables that are in books or on print outs. We decided that it would be quicker and easier to have a small utility to turn to for this information.
ASCII Tools contains four windows. The main window contains an ASCII character table with values in decimal and hexadecimal, as well as quick conversion utilities for ASCII value to character, and ASCII character to value.
The developers found that if they were working on something that required us to turn to this utility many times, it would be easier if they had the utilities in global windows so that they would not have to keep switching between applications.
By selecting "Show Global Windows" from the "Windows" menu, you can have access to all of the features of ASCII tools from within your current application. No more switching back and forth.
Main features:
- Simple, easy to use interface.
- ASCII number to character converter.
- Character to ASCII number converter.
- ASCII character, hexadecimal value, and decimal value table.
- Global floating windows for easy access while in other applications.

dbMaintain 1.0.1

dbMaintain 1.0.1


Automatic database maintenance more>>

dbMaintain 1.0.1 is one of the most marvelous tools which enables automatic roll-out of updates to a relational database.

It brings database scripts into version control just like regular source code and can be used to transparently deploy databases from development to production. DbMaintain automates the part of the deployment which is most difficult to automate, opening the door for fully automated deployments in all stages of development.

You no longer have to keep track of which database updates have been deployed on which database - DbMaintain does this for you. The database itself keeps track of the scripts that have been applied. A checksum is stored for each script that to ensure nothing has changed to the scripts that were already applied.

Updates are performed incrementally: Only what has been changed since the last deployment is applied. Features such as repeatable scripts, postprocessing scripts, multi-database / database user support and support for patches turn DbMaintain into a complete solution for the enterprise.
DbMaintain integrates seamlessly with Unitils, an open source library for writing automated tests. With unitils you can easily test your application's database integration layer while you develop it, relying on DbMaintain for managing the test database.

Major Features:

  1. Script organization
    • Incremental and repeatable scripts
    • Postprocessing cripts
    • Multi-database / user support
    • Patches
  2. The DBMAINTAIN_SCRIPTS table
  3. Error handling
  4. Configure and run DbMaintain
    • From the command line
    • Using ant
    • From Java code
  5. DbMaintain operations
    • Create a script archive
    • Update the database
    • Mark the database as up-to-date
    • Check script updates
    • Clear the database
    • Clean the database
    • Disable constraints
    • Update sequences
  6. Preserve database objects
  7. Oracle PL/SQL support

Email Cloaker 1.0

Email Cloaker 1.0


Email Cloaker - Encode your email address to help prevent it from being picked up by spambots more>> Email Cloaker - Encode your email address to help prevent it from being picked up by spambots

Just like Google scrapes the web indexing everything, spambots are computers that search the net for email adresses so the evildoers can spam you. Pretty uncool, huh?
You can protect yourself against these malicious bots - for example, by encoding your email address every time you put it somewhere on your web site.
There are several encoding methods, and the Email Cloaker provides two.
Both HTML and Javascript encoding offer some protection, but the latter should make it even harder for spambots.
NOTE that these methods are NOT waterproof. In fact its not difficult to teach a spambot to decode the address again, but the Email Cloaker should protect you against a whole lot of them.
You should also note that if your address has been picked up by spambots and you?re getting heaps of spam, encoding your address will not have any reverse effect.

Enhancements
- New gui and several bugfixes.

Frequenzstrom 0.5

Frequenzstrom 0.5


Frequenzstrom is a superior and simple to use tool which modulates a sine as an amplitude envelope onto a given signal. more>>

Frequenzstrom 0.5 is a superior and simple to use tool which modulates a sine as an amplitude envelope onto a given signal.

The frequency can be set by two methods:

  • 'Play' the frequency with a midi device.
  • Ste the Frequency with a slider.

The frequency can vary between 0.5 and 12000Hz. The plugin is something in between a filter and a synthesizer. Anyway you look at it the results are sometimes unpredictable, especially when used on material that has a high tonal content. My favorite way to use it is to use on drumloops. It's quite difficult to describe how it sounds and i'm sure there are still many fun things that I) haven't tried yet. Please experiment.

Installation:

  • Just drop the unzipped file named Frequenzstrom.component into ${HOME}/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components
  • Launch your AudioUnit Host
  • Enjoy playing

Requirements: AudioUnit Host Application
