Jaro Mail is an integrated suite of interoperable tools for GNU/Linux and Apple/OS X to manage email communication in a private way, without relying on online services (in fact, encouraging users to store email locally). It mainly features a system for mailinglist filtering, address-book integrated whitelisting, and long-term email storage and archiving with functions for fast search and usage statistics. It makes internal use of customized versions of popular Unix tools like Mutt, Fetchmail, Procmail, Mairix, and Msmtp.
jminix is a simple embeddable restful JMX console. It is useful for when you don't want to use an external full-blown JMX console, but just want to have a simple JMX entry point into your new or existing apps. Embedding JMiniX in a Web app is done simply by declaring a servlet. Deployed as a servlet, it benefits from your Web application configuration such as filters or security constraints.
HGL is a compiler/interpreter suite for developing images. It features its own simple but powerful language, an output format configurable by plugins, runtime input handled by plugins, and easy integration into various environments like Web servers or graphical applications. The input is taken from a source file, which has to be compiled for quick and frequent access by the interpreter. An interpreter then runs the compiled files, takes input from custom plugins (if neccessary), and outputs its result via custom plugins.
terminal_colors is a tool to display a terminal color chart for 8, 16, 88, and 256 color terminals. It provides all the functionality of the various similar scripts found around the Web with some additional bells and whistles. It automatically detects 8, 16, 88, and 256 color capabilities (via ncurses) and displays the appropriate color charts. It can display the colors as blocks or (2D) cubes, optionally with color values overlaid in int or hex values. It can show the full rgb text string as well. It can also show the display with a vertical (default) or horizontal orientation. It has the option of additional padding and supports -h --help as well. It also works as a utility for converting between 256 and 88 color values.
Business artifacts including data model and service library for common business processes.

I went to the show last night in Pittsburgh, PA. I have to say if he is hitting your city on this tour, GO. It is very clear that the Hostile Takeover Tour helped him to further evolve into a GREAT stage performer. I would easily say that his show is measurable to Techs, although they both ride in their own respective lanes. He definitely matches Techs energy level and audience interaction. The major difference being that where Tech has high energy and really great choreography, MGK matches the energy and makes up for the choreography with unpredictable antics and crowd participation. bottom line great show, easily improved 100x from his H.T.T. performance. Plus the addition of about 75-80% of the Lace Up album to the set list. Lace Up! EST 4 Life.
Thanks for your unnecessary input.

I thought MGK did a really great job on the hostile takeover tour. I wasnt expecting much to be honest but his stage show and energy level were definitely impressive! not to mention that his music is really good in my opinion, and if you listen to lace up hes got alot of inspirational, personal, and relate-able material with great lyrics, wordplay, and production. After hearing his shit and seeing him on stage im a fan for sure, and im hoping to catch him on the lace up tour when it comes to seattle! Lace the fuck Up!

SAN JUAN BAUTISTA, Calif.- Two armed bank robbers are on the run on Thursday and deputies said they may be connected to other crimes here on the Central Coast. This, after they pulled a gun on bank employees in San Juan Bautista. We spoke to a witness who said the suspects may have scoped out area ahead of time.
Ron Paulk said he saw the getaway car and had his suspicions earlier this week when two men wearing reflective gear were doing maintenance near the bank. Ron said the same two suspects were behind his business on Wednesday, pulling a pile of weeds.
"I thought it was strange, they were cleaning my parking lot. I didn't hire anybody and as far as I know nobody else did. I just assumed it was the city because we're going to have our antique fair and usually they clean up before that," said witness Ron Paulk.
San Benito Sheriffs' deputies said two men robbed the Union Bank on 3rd Street just before 11am Thursday morning. No one was hurt and then men got off with an unknown amount of cash. But one witness who was inside the bank at the time but didn't want to talk on camera says the robbers ordered them to cooperate, so no one would get hurt. She said the whole thing lasted about 10 minutes.
Deputies said they're working with the FBI and Salinas Police because initial suspect descriptions may be similar to another case.
"There's a possibility it could be connected to some robberies that they may be experiencing in their jurisdictions," said San Benito County Sheriff Darren Thompson.
Nearby business owners said they've never seen such brazen crime like this on their quiet, historical street. Ron said he's hoping what he and his wife saw will help.
Some witnesses said the men were wearing medical masks, but others said they saw them wearing dust masks. Another witness gave sheriff deputies a sketch of the suspects. We're still trying to get that information and a good description of the getaway car.

Former Sony Europe president Chris Deering has said that AAA gaming titles need to be priced at £70 to support the industry.
Derring, speaking to MCV, also stated that if we are to expect more "blockbuster games" as gamers did in the past, developers need to produce the titles more efficiently.
"In order to price these games at a level where they would support an industry [as strongly as] they did ten years ago, they'd have to be sold at £70. But people just don't have that kind of money, there's a psychological glass ceiling.
"Consumers won't spend more, but to write the game, publishers are having to spend more than ever before. That's the key problem.
"The cost of development is ten times what it was for PS2, and more like 20 to 50 times more than on PSOne. Yet there are lots of things you can get for less than the relative value of paying 50p an hour for a very high end game."
Deering is the chair of the Edinburgh Interactive Festival, taking place August 13-14, where he and Ray Maguire, Peter Moore and Ian Livingstone will discuss 'the future of the blockbuster game'.

70% of games never recover costs, says Deering
Speaking at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival today, ex-SCEE man Chris Deering claimed that on 30 percent of games ever made the development money back.
"Traditional revenue sources will not be sufficient to fund games development," he said. "If you look at the very narrow definition of the gaming market, people are saying the software business will be down 20 percent by 2011 versus this year.
"Something is going to have to be there to make up the difference and take us beyond that threshold.
"My guess and analysis shows that less than three out of 10 games recover their development and marketing costs with boxed goods sales. So what's going to have to happen? Creative use of hybrid online and offline advertising revenues, online offline transactions with consumers – these business models must be explored."

Sony and Nintendo will tie at 230 million consoles by 2011, says former SCEE boss
According to this GI piece, former SCEE chap Chris Deering's said that he believes Nintendo and Sony will tie in this generation's hardware race by 2011. From the story:
The EIF chairman presented figures he arrived at by triangulating Screen Digest and IDG data. He also took into account factors such as the growth of hi-def and the grey gamer market, the emergence of new game engines and increasing ubiquity of wi-fi access. He said the active installed base for hardware is set to rise from 316 million to 500 million over the next three years, with "two big mega-powers" leading the charge.
According to Deering sales of the DS and any future iterations of the hardware will reach 150 million by 2011, while the figure for Wii will be 80 million. He predicted the installed base for PS3 will be 70 million, and said for PS2 it will be 90 million and PSP will be 70 million. In other words, Sony and Nintendo will each have sold 230 million machines.
