About: libbnr is an implementation of the Bayesian Noise Reduction (BNR)
algorithm. All samples of text contain some degree of noise (data which is
either intentionally or unintentionally irrelevant to accurate statistical
analysis of the sample where removal of the data would result in a cleaner
analysis). The Bayesian noise reduction algorithm provides a means of
cleaner machine learning by providing more useful data, which ultimately
leads to better sample analysis. With the noisy data removed from the
sample, what is left is only data relevant to the classification. libbnr
can be linked in with your classifier and called using the standard C

kicks in immediately now). The CGI uses a configure.pl for centralized
configuration. The Bayesian Noise Reduction algorithm has been
rewritten/cleaned up (upgraded to 1.2). A bug where the signature would
get appended after an HTML close tag, causing some email clients to drop
the signature, has been fixed. There are miscellaneous fixes to purge SQL.

About: OpenOffice.org Tools is a GUI-based Java program that complements
OpenOffice. The tools include a Writer file properties viewer, a modified
word counter, and a bibliography converter. The file properties viewer
reads, displays, and searches the properties (title, subject, keywords,
and comments) of all OpenOffice Word Processor documents in a directory.

counter counts words bounded by spaces. This is different from the word
count provided by OpenOffice, which counts hyphenated words as more than
one word. The bibliography converter imports bibliographic information
from BibTeX and OpenOffice files and exports them to a database format
supported by OpenOffice to be used as a bibliography database.
Changes: A bug with word count has been fixed, and a search feature has
been added under the Document Properties tab.

Software Development
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
About: Pin is an ATOM-like instrumentation tool for Linux executables. It
allows arbitrary code (written in C or C++) to be injected at arbitrary
places in an executable. Unlike Atom, Pin does not perform the
instrumentation statically by rewriting the executable, but rather
dynamically by adding instrumentation while the executable is running.
Currently supported platforms include IA-32, Intel Xscale, and Itanium
Changes: Kits for both XScale and IA-32 architectures are now available.
The XScale kit has been tested on intimate/ipaq (debian stable, with
compiler upgrade). The IA-32 kit has been tested on Red Hat 7.2 (with
compiler upgrade), 8.0, 9.0, and EL3.

Communications :: Email :: Filters
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: POP3
About: pop3spam is a POP3 client which connects to a POP3 server and
deletes unsolicited mail. It's possible to check for messages that exceed
a certain limit and to scan header lines for special patterns (regular
expressions). If a message has been identified as unsolicited, it can be
deleted directly from the POP3 server without the need to download it
first. Eventually your normal mail-retrieval utility (e.g. fetchmail) can
gather all (cleaned) mail as usual.
Changes: Two new options were added: "spam_confirm" (-t) and
"spam_no_confirm" (-T). These can be used to specify whether the user will
be prompted to confirm the deletion of a message if a particular regular
expression matched (no matter what "confirm" (-c) is set to).

About: UI::Dialog is an OOPerl wrapper for various dialog applications. It
supports the dialog backends Zenity, XDialog, GDialog, KDialog, CDialog,
and Whiptail. There is also an ASCII backend provided as a last resort
interface for the console-based dialog variants. UI::Dialog is a class
that provides a strict interface to these various backend modules. By
using UI:Dialog (with its imposed limitations on the widgets), you can
ensure that your Perl program will function with any available interface.
UI::Dialog is the result of a complete rewrite of the UDPM CPAN module.
This was done to break away from the bad choice of name
(UserDialogPerlModule) and to implement a cleaner, more detached, OOPerl
Changes: This release has a bugfix for UI::Dialog dying when the user did
not select anything from the checklist widget.

Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
Text Processing :: Markup :: XSL/XSLT
About: XOM is an XML object model. It is a tree-based API for processing
XML with Java that simultaneously supports streaming. In many use-cases,
it can process arbitrarily large documents with effectively constant
memory sizes. It strives for correctness, simplicity, and performance, in
that order.
Changes: The IBM virtual machine 1.4.1 is no longer handled as a special
case. The unpublished nu.xom.xerces package has been removed. The W3C XML
Schema Language and WML and HTML DOMs have been removed from the bundled
version of Xerces to save space. XOM now uses character references only
when necessary for all encodings supported by the local virtual machine.
XOM is no longer dependant on the Xerces and java.net URI classes. The
Builder class no longer sets any Java system properties for improved
compatibility with applets and multiclassloader environments.

[102] - Yawiki PHP 0.15 alpha
by Paul M. Jones (http://freshmeat.net/users/pmjones/)
Thu, Jul 22nd 2004 07:36
Information Management :: Document Repositories
About: Yawiki is a powerful Wiki system for collaborative document
generation. It supports both anonymous and authenticated users. It uses an
AreaMap page to generate a hierarchy of pages and navigational elements. It
supports page-level access control lists. There is an optional comment
system built-in, as well as RSS feeds for individual public pages.
Changes: This version requires Text_Wiki 0.20.1 or later, as it needs the
new Plain renderer in that version. A simple search capability was added,
which searches page name, title, and body. It is a phrase/keyword search,
not a relevance engine. util/buildsearch.php was added to build or rebuild
the search table. A search bar was added to the default header template. A
margin above the lower link-bar was added in index.tpl.php.

A little while ago I wrote about the web not being the net. I don't think a lot of normal people, i.e. non geeks would know what the internet is. Most people tend to think the World Wide Web is the Internet. But it's not as I explained in my The WWW is not the internet! post.
Wow the internet without the web? Huh? What? How? Buliten Board Systems is what and how. BBSes as they became known were one of the first mass used services on the internet before the internet went commercial. Hundreds and thousands of people used them, and there are even still some alive today if you are interested check out The BBS Corner's Telnet BBS Guide, The BBS-scene and Synchronet's BBS for some BBS software and a list of BBSes..
If you are interested and really Geeky, like me, then you will enjoy BBS the Documentary. A documentary about the history of BBSes. Checkout G4tv – Pulse on BBS The Documentary:
The best thing about BBS the Documentary is that it is released under creative commons so you can download it for free!
