wxBanker

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 03:36:04 -0600

light and portable financial management application

Version: 0.3

wxBanker is a light and portable financial management desktop application which runs on Windows, OSX, and Linux. It allows you to enter and keep track of transactions in accounts, such as bank accounts, credit cards, and virtual accounts such as receivable and payable accounts. Think of wxBanker like a much-enhanced and easier to use digital equivalent to balancing your checkbook.

wxBanker does not currently synchronize with online bank interfaces, though this is planned for future versions. The point of wxBanker is to keep your own separate balances to compare with your online banks and other accounts, much like when you use your checkbook registry to balance your checking account, for example.

Keeping your own balance separate from online interfaces allows you to avoid the pitfalls of exclusively using such interfaces, which can't be aware of charges which haven't gotten to them yet, such as checks you wrote, or places which batch credit/debit card transactions for charging later. For example, imagine checking your balance online and seeing you have enough money to make a purchase, only to realize later your rent check hadn't cleared yet, and your purchase caused it to bounce.

It also allows you to keep your financial institution (such as a bank or credit card company) in check, as well as the places you are making transactions with. This ensures they don't make mistakes, which is more common than people who don't verify charges realize. For example, when you paid with your credit card at that restaurant, did that waiter bump up the tip you left? When you signed that credit card receipt, were you actually charged the amount you signed for?

Another advantage of keeping track of accounts this way is that you can create arbitrary accounts for loans with friends or family, or make accounts just for saving up for special purchases.

ccgfs

Mon, 10 Nov 2008 03:36:04 -0600

A transport-agnostic filesystem

ccgfs is a transport-agnostic filesystem; transport is arranged by helper programs, such as ssh. Common transport modes are "pull" and "push", the latter of which makes it possible to export a filesystem located in a LAN to a DMZ host without defeating the DMZ security model which prohibits connections to the LAN, which the pull model would require.

Most, if not all, networked filesystems use a pull model, where a client sends a mount request to a server. (Because the push model reverses roles, the terms "mount endpoint" and "storage endpoint" will be used to avoid confusion.) So in the pull model, a mount endpoint opens a connection to the storage endpoint. This however is a problem when you want a host in a DMZ network to access data that is located in the inner LAN, because you would need to allow connections from the DMZ to the LAN on the firewall, which is contrary to the principle of a DMZ.

One could move the storage unit into the DMZ itself, but that may create interoperability problems with LAN clients, e.g. with SMB clients using NBT broadcast. Or you do not want to move it to the DMZ, because it is your only workhorse in the LAN. To solve this issue without moving the storage unit into the DMZ itself, a filesystem that can be pushed is needed. (Since connections from LAN to DMZ are always allowed.) Classical networked filesystems do not seem to be able to do that.

Version: 0.3.6

PackageKit allows to perform simple software management tasks over a DBus interface e.g. refreshing the cache, updating, installing and removing software packages or searching for multimedia codecs and file handlers.

The work is done by backends which make use of the package manager shipped by the corresponding distribution. PackageKit is not meant to replace advanced tools like Synaptic.

The main benefits are:
- unified interface on several distributions
- fine grained privilleges by using PolicyKit
- independecy from a running desktop session during the processing

ps-watcher

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 04:00:07 -0500

monitoring a system via ps-like commands

Version: 1.06

This program runs the ps command periodically and triggers commands on matches. The match patterns are Perl regular expressions which can refer to the process information via variables.

For example it can be used to ensure that a daemon is running, or is not running too many times. It can also be used to determine when a process has consumed too many resources, perhaps due to a memory leak.

libre software image editor

Version: 0.81

Nathive is a libre software image editor, similar to Adobe Photoshop, Corel Photo-Paint or The GIMP, but focused on usability, logic and providing a smooth learning curve for everyone.
