PIMPPA

PIMPPA is a Linux tool to download files from newsgroups and ftp sites. It includes several mechanisms for avoiding spam, duplicates and incomplete postings. PIMPPA supports multiple servers and is able to sort and skip incoming material based on filenames. It can be run without user interaction but includes an optional GUI too.

You can get the latest sources and binaries from here.

Leverlåda

Leverlåda is an X-Chat perl script to retrieve files from FSERVEs running on IRC. This script is useful when lots of fserves are offering something and you get bored of waiting and hitting a zillion triggers. In addition, Fserves tend to come and go capriciously, and queues are full most of the time. Leverlåda tries to automate the locating and receiving of files, enabling you to spend your time on something more useful.

Check Sourceforge to download the newest Leverlåda version.

NOTE: Not even the released versions might be entirely bug-free. If you like, you can download the current leve development version from CVS. It probably has some old bugs squashed and new bugs introduced. The command is

$ cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.pimppa.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/pimppa co leverloda

There's also a Leverlåda related mailing list available. Please send all comments, bug reports etc. there.

Moron

(Method for Object Recognition of Obscure Nature)

Moron is a tool to make predictions on image content. By default, it is trained atleast to recognize drawn images (manga,cg) from photographs (pron). Other recognized classes depend on the version. For example, 0.6.1b tries to recognize categories (nonpron,cg,manga,mcover,idx,pron,bw,latex,proncloseup) and can be adapted to new tasks by putting training images to category-specific directories and running a few functions. In theory Moron could be used to sort content or work as a newsgroup filter, but its not accurate enough for production use. Either appropriate techniques in computer vision and/or CBIR do not yet exist, or we have been unable to find or reimplement them, or collect diverse enough training data. Any hints or help are naturally appreciated.

Moron combines feature extraction with machine learning. Moron is currently developed on Linux, using the R language. Making Moron predict image content does not require skill in R. Older versions used matlab, java and C.

If you wish to experiment with the training data we used for 0.2.0, grab this (~2.6 megs). Its in WEKA arff format (text file with attribute headers). The data contains only pre-extracted image features from about 6000 images, not the actual images. All later matlab and R versions have training data included in the package in matrix format.

Igor's Nest

A VRML/Javascript ministrategy game by Teuvo Tursas. You must destroy Igor and his evil Robot Hordes! You can instantly taste the laser-hot action awaiting you from these screenshots: the map, the evil blue troops and your red troops of rebellion.

Should work on any OS with a web browser and a VRML plugin. We got informed that it doesn't work on Linux's OpenVRML that was available by the time of the release, so be careful.

VMatik

This project is discontinued.

VMatik (also known as VuohiMatik) is a free BBS software for Linux. It's available as a source distribution, under GNU General Public License.

What makes VMatik different from other BBS softwares is using MySQL as an external database server, to keep user and file datas in. This approach provides powerful filearea operations which still perform well even on systems carrying tens of thousands online files.

Project was started somewhere during summer 1998.
First public version was released in December 1998.

(v0.2.1 / 26.Jun.2000 - Source only, GPL)

Syrup

Syrup is a Perl plugin script for X-Chat to automate the downloading from "SDfind" -style bots in IRC. You give Syrup the commands you wish to be sent, and Syrup executes them so that a new command is submitted when the bot starts to send you your previous request.

Download syrup-1.1.4.tar.gz
(v1.1.4 / 09.Jun.2000 - For xchat 1.x series, source only, GPL)

There's also a patch for xchat 2
(User-contributed patch to make Syrup work on xchat 2 series - 30.May.2004)

ECCView

ECCView is a little GTK+ v1.2.x utility for Linux to display those cute ".ECC" format animations.

Download eccview_rev1.tar.gz
(v2.0 Linux REV1 Unofficial / 12.Jul.1999 - Binary only)

crc32

This util with an ingenious name calculates CRC32 -type checksum (as in zip,arj,rar and sfv) for a given file. It can also verify file crc's from user provided.sfv file, and create new .sfv files. It should compile on about any UNIX-resembling system.

Download crc32-1.2.0.tar.gz
(v1.2.0 / 30.Dec.1999 - Source only)

Most RRR Sorority Division applications are like the critter on the left. They perform amazing tasks without much user interaction!
