Office Connect 0.9
Office Connect contain two AppleScripts for connecting to a remote file server/ network with a single launch. The connect script checks the network name of the wireless net work you are connected to more>> Office Connect contain two AppleScripts for connecting to a remote file server/ network with a single launch.
The connect script checks the network name of the wireless net work you are connected to. If it is the same as the name in the script, it assumes you are "at the office" and mounts the file server locally. If not, it will connect to you default VPN connection, and upon sucessfully connecting, mount the file share.
The disconnect script ejects the share and disconnects the VPN if needed.
Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

icecast 2.3.2
Collection of programs and libraries for streaming audio over the Internet Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg streaming including the vorbis and theora codecs more>> Collection of programs and libraries for streaming audio over the Internet
Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg streaming including the vorbis and theora codecs. Icecast can also handle other streams like AAC, NSV and MP3.
It can be used to create an Internet radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added relatively easily and supports open standards for communication and interaction.
System requirements:
-
Enhancements
Character set support. Most non-Ogg streams (eg MP3) send metadata as Latin1 but it could be in other character sets. As icecast uses UTF-8, we need to convert to UTF-8 so that web pages and stream directories render correctly:
- Allow a per-mount setting. For when source clients do not indicate which character set is in use.
- a charset= parameter to the metadata request.
- Default for non-Ogg content is now Latin-1 (aka ISO-8859-1). Ogg content still uses UTF-8.
Authentication:
- Each mountpoint authentication is isolated so one mount authentication does not slow another mountpoint authentication down.
- XSL pages can require authentication.
- Add some sanity checks for incorrect settings.
Listening socket update:
- Allow multiple ports to be allocated which allow multiple shoutcast source clients to stream on the same icecast instance.
- No internal limit on the number of listen sockets that can be used.
- Allow for a listen socket to be marked SSL capable. While any client could connect on these, the idea is really for /admin requests.
- allow for a to bind to ipv4 and ipv6
XSL update:
- XSL pages include an xspf link for non-auth streams.
- XSL pages in both webroot and adminroot can take a mount= arg to limit which stats are transformed.
- XSL files can specify the content-type to return to the client. It is no longer fixed to html
Updates for stream directory handling:
- A stream is not registered with the directory until after the first minute has passed. some streams have been stuck in a connect/disconnect loop.
- Increase retry time on failure, if the stream add is rejected then it will be down to a misconfiguration so a long retry delay is performed.
- A YP server that is not responding is ignored for a while
- Updates for Win32. Newer versions of dependency libs (libxml2/libxslt/libcurl etc). Buffer overflow fixes when many streams are active
- Accept/Ban IP support. Now takes filenames for explicitly accepting or denying requests from specified IP addresses. Useful in cases where firewall access is not available. The files, if defined, are re-read automatically if updated.
- A Mountpoint is exported to the slaves even if no mount section is defined for it. You can still use the hidden setting to prevent that from happening.
- Relays handle redirection (HTTP 302) if one is received at startup.
- Automatically generate XSPF playlist like we do with M3U, the mountpoint extension is .xspf
- Header updates for proxy handling and certain clients like some shoutcast source clients and flash players.
- Added Kate/Skeleton codecs to Ogg handler.
- Various stats cleanups. Added some global stats (server ID, email contact etc).
- The streamlist passed from master to slave had a limited length, so if there were many streams then some could of been left out.
- Documentation updates.
- Relay startup/shutdown is cleaner.
- several build cleanups.
- several resource leaks and race conditions fixed

AsyncSocket 4.3
AsyncSocket - Cocoa socket class more>>
Main features:
- Queued non-blocking reads and writes, with timeouts. You tell it what to read or write and get out of the way. Itll call you when it is done.
- Automatic socket acceptance. If you tell it to accept connections, it will call you with new instances of itself for each connection. You can, of course, disconnect them immediately.
- Delegate support. Errors, connections, accepts, read completions, write completions, and disconnections all result in a call to your delegate method.
- Run-loop based, not thread based. Although you can use it on main or worker threads, you dont have to. It calls the delegate methods asynchronously using NSRunLoop. The delegate methods include a socket parameter, allowing you to distinguish between many instances.
- Self-contained in one class. You dont need to muck around with streams or sockets. The class handles all of that.
- Support for TCP streams.
Enhancements:
- Eliminated empty data returns from -readDataWithTag:.
- Added per-socket user data.
- More complete NSError messages.
- Fixed null-padding at end of recovered data.
