The NATural 1.0b2
The NATural - Configure NAT routing on Mac OS X Server 10.4 more>>
Apples Server Admin software provides only a limited interface to control NAT routing functions. The underlying process, natd, can accept many more arguments. Although Server Admin does not provide an interface to these functions, it does respect all settings that natd supports. The NATural allows you to easily configure these settings.
The NATural was developed in response to my own need to configure NAT routing as an administrator of several Mac OS X Server systems. I quickly became frustrated with editing the natd.plist file each time I wanted to make a change. Furthermore, I was also annoyed that there was no quick and easy way to disable but save IP and Port Forwarding rules. Why couldnt configuring NAT be as easy as configuring the firewall? Now it is!
Enhancements:
- no longer asks for password twice on first launch
- fixed interface menu to read non-physical interfaces
- added "Other..." option in interface menu
- fixed several "Error in helper tool response" errors
- error messages now more specific where possible
- now asks to apply changes if necessary before starting or restarting NAT
- port forwarding rules must now include both a target and destination port, this is a restriction imposed by serveradmin
- punch_fw, custom divert ports, and remote IP/port specifications of port forwarding rules now hidden (ignored by serveradmin)
- expanded help
- log drawer performance and memory usage improved
- better handling of malformed port forwarding and IP forwarding rules.
Natural Worlds 1.0b5
Natural Worlds - environment sounds for your Mac more>>
Natural Worlds also has a built-in world editor allowing you to modify or create your own unique worlds. You can add up to 50 environment sounds to each world. (If thats not enough, let me know).
To help eliminate repetition, environment sounds can be grouped together so that only one sound within each group plays at one time (think of a group as one "meta-sound" with different variations within it).

Unfortunately, like most PC keyboards when used on a Mac, the MS Natural Keyboard Pro swaps the Command and Option keys from the positions Mac users expect them to be in. For this reason, we are in the process of developing a custom Mac driver for this keyboard that will not only address that issue, but provide customizable functionality for the multimedia keys.

The underlying foundations used to develop ScenarioGraph are graph theory and ScenarioML. Graphs provide a natural structure for working with scenarios expressed in ScenarioML.
The basic structure of a ScenarioML scenario is XML, which itself has a tree structure. ScenarioML extends this basic tree structure to include references that can relate children with different parents, to represent directed acyclic graphs.

NINJAM 0.02a
NINJAM is a program to allow people to make real music together via the Internet more>>
Every participant can hear every other participant. Each user can also tweak their personal mix to his or her liking. NINJAM is cross-platform, with clients available for Mac OS X and Windows.
NINJAM uses compressed audio which allows it to work with any instrument or combination of instruments. You can sing, play a real piano, play a real saxophone, play a real guitar with whatever effects and guitar amplifier you want, anything. If your computer can record it, then you can jam with it (as opposed to MIDI-only systems that automatically preclude any kind of natural audio collaboration1).
Since the inherent latency of the Internet prevents true realtime synchronization of the jam2, and playing with latency is weird (and often uncomfortable), NINJAM provides a solution by making latency (and the weirdness) much longer.
Latency in NINJAM is measured in measures, and thats what makes it interesting.
The NINJAM client records and streams synchronized intervals of music between participants. Just as the interval finishes recording, it begins playing on everyone elses client. So when you play through an interval, youre playing along with the previous interval of everybody else, and theyre playing along with your previous interval. If this sounds pretty bizarre, it sort of is, until you get used to it, then it becomes pretty natural. In many ways, it can be more forgiving than a normal jam, because mistakes propagate differently.
Part tool, part toy, NINJAM is designed with an emphasis on musical experimentation and expression.
NINJAM uses OGG Vorbis audio compression to compress audio, then streams it to a NINJAM server, which can then stream it to the other people in your jam. This architecture requires a server with adequate bandwidth, but has no firewall or NAT issues. OGG Vorbis is utilized for its great low bitrate characteristics and performance. Each user receives a copy of other users audio streams, allowing for each user to adjust the mix to their liking, as well as remix later. This uses more bandwidth than having a server encode a single stream, but has numerous benefits (including lower server CPU use and the client having the full multichannel data for later use).
NINJAM can also save all of the original uncompressed source material, for doing full quality remixes after the jam.
For some samples of how NINJAM can sound, see samples directory.
Enhancements:
- Hidden password in connection dialog
- Password saving option
- Small fixes.
Adventures on Pirate Isle 1.0.6
Pirate adventure game. more>>
The adventure begins when Slash regains consciousness among the debris of his former vessel, determined to uncover the secrets of the island, its treasure, and to discover a means of returning home.
Slash is a sugar glider from the distant land of Australia. Roughly the size of a small squirrel, sugar gliders have a membranous flap of skin connecting their forepaw to their hind feet. Sugar gliders can use this layer of skin in order to glide up to 150 feet through the air, jumping from tree to tree to escape the jaws of their predators.
Our hero is a seaworthy buccaneer who wears his trusty sabre always at his side. He was a notable sailor aboard his ship, being able to leap from mast to mast seemingly without effort. During his future adventures on Pirate Isle, Slash will be able to run, jump, climb, and glide his way to and past obstacles of all kinds.
When strategic maneuvers are not an option, Slash can whip out his sabre to deal death to the most fearsome of foes. Sugar gliders love fresh fruit, so finding such items along the way can rejuvenate or even grant temporary powers to our stalwart marsupial.
Using his unique talents, his uncanny wit, and his deft swordsmanship Slash must travel deeper and deeper into Pirate Isle, avoiding natural predators such as sea gulls, giant crabs, and wild boars.
