DOT-TUNES Tracker 0.1a2
DOT-TUNES Tracker is regarded as a feature-rich and trustworthy application which brings users, music, clients and server apps together. more>>
DOT-TUNES Tracker 0.1a2 is regarded as a feature-rich and trustworthy application which brings users, music, clients and server apps together.
DOT-TUNES Tracker sits between the Client app and the Server app and allows others to enjoy your music and for you to enjoy theirs. Within the new DOT-TUNES Server application - on the main server window - you will see a new button 'Add to Tracker'. When you click this button, you can enter the address of a DOT-TUNES Tracker and a name for your Server. When you click 'connect' your server is added to the Tracker.
This new feature is optional and you can disconnect from the tracker at any time. So, the tracker now contains your server name and the address to which users can connect. The tracker can contain any number of available servers. Then within the DOT-TUNES Client software you will see the new Tracker tab on the main connection window. Click Tracker and enter a Tracker Address and click connect. You will see a list containing any number of available DOT-TUNES Servers. Simply click a server name to connect to the server.
IMPORTANT! You do not have to add your server to a DOT-TUNES Tracker - so your Server can still remain completely anonymous. You can create a username and password within DOT-TUNES which will prevent unauthorized users accessing your tracks - even if you have added yourself to a tracker.
So, what does all this mean?
- Now new artists can publish some sample tracks, add them to a tracker and gain exposure.
- You can connect to many DOT-TUNES servers from within the Client - even though you don't know the addresses of any servers.
- You can run a Tracker yourself and group some Servers.
- There can be an unlimited number of Trackers around the web - find a new tracker to find some new servers.
Would you like to run a Tracker? Download and Launch the Tracker, click 'Start Tracker' and that's it. Then send an email to the DOT-TUNES mailing list with your Tracker Address - that will allow others to publish their server details on your tracker.
3D Paddle Bash! 1.4
3D Paddle Bash! - 3D version of pong, for Macintosh more>>
In 2000 I released version 1.4 (downloadable below) removing the shareware notices and making it free for anyone to own and play. While the computers it was written for are obsolete many times over, the game still works!

OpenMocha 0.6.1
OpenMocha - Server/client side Javascript development framework more>>
The goal of OpenMocha is to maximize the fun and productivity of Javascript development by blending the gap between browser and server based scripting.
With OpenMocha, a new project can be quickly soft-coded by creating custom Mocha Objects using the web browser. As the project matures, these Mocha Objects can be re-factored and hard-coded in separate code files. The two approaches can be mixed at any time, patching hard-coded applications through soft-coding even during runtime.
OpenMocha intends to stretch and scale between fast all-in-one deployment and complex integration in best-of-breed environments.
Enhancements:
- Corrected a packaging error contained in the 0.6 release.
XBlend 1.3
XBlend uses an intelligent method to vary the way images are blended based on the subject matter more>>
For areas having sudden color changes, such as a door frame, images are blended over a narrow area as our minds expect sharp transitions in those areas. Input images are created using the Multi-image tiff option in PTMac or PTBatch then processed using XBlend.
A free front-end for Enblend, XBlend is useful for seamlessly blending already positioned images into a final panorama.
Alternatively, enblend can be used directly by PTMac and PTBatch by selecting the Enblend TIFF or Enblend PSD options.
XBlend gives the user a simple interface for using enblend. The user loads the images on the first tab, sets the desired blending options on the second tab and presses the blend button.
ExifInfo X 2.2
ExifInfo X - Extract EXIF headers from photos more>>
The source code is also included in the package.

- Fast scrolling
- Simple yet effective sound handling.
Platypus 4.2
Create application wrappers for shell scripts. more>> Create application wrappers for shell scripts.
Platypus is a Mac OS X program for creating application wrappers around scripts, i.e. creating Mac OS X applications that execute a script they are bundled with.
Scripts are then to run transparently from the graphical window environment, facilitating their execution and blending seamlessly into the user interface.
Platypus is free, open-source software and is distributed under the terms and conditions of the Free Software Foundations GNU General Public License. Platypus is written for the Cocoa application programming interfaces.
Main features:

Enblend 1.3
Enblend - Composit images using a multiresolution spline more>>
The basic idea is that image features should be blended across a
transition zone proportional in size to the spatial frequency of the features.
For example, objects like trees and windowpanes have rapid changes in color.
By blending these features in a narrow zone, you will not be able to see the seam because the eye already expects to see color changes at the edge of these features. Clouds and sky are the opposite.
These features have to be blended across a wide transition zone because any sudden change in color will be immediately noticeable.
Enblend expects each input TIFF to be the same size. The alpha channel should indicate the region of the file that has valid image data. Enblend compares the alpha regions in the input files to find the areas where images overlap.
Enblend does not align images for you. Use a tool like Hugin or PanoTools to do this. The multiple TIFFs produced by these programs are exactly what enblend is designed to work with.
