Loona CMS

jstone — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 09:13:00 -0500

LOona is halfway between a WIKI and a Content Management System (CMS) for managing website content. It is small, fast and extensible and written in the Lua language with security, robustness and a small resource footprint in mind. It requires no database, as pages are dynamically generated from plain text in the filesystem or rendered to HTML pages when a profile gets published. In this way, website content can be created using a browser and a text editor in a similar fashion. LOona uses its own WIKI-like markup notation, but unlike a WIKI, its site structure is hierarchical.

BERT and BERT-RPC 1.0 Specification

jstone — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 04:23:00 -0500

BERT and BERT-RPC are an attempt to specify a flexible binary serialization and RPC protocol that are compatible with the philosophies of dynamic languages such as Ruby, Python, PERL, JavaScript, Erlang, Lua, etc. BERT aims to be as simple as possible while maintaining support for the advanced data types we have come to know and love. BERT-RPC is designed to work seamlessly within a dynamic/agile development workflow. The BERT-RPC philosophy is to eliminate extraneous type checking, IDL specification, and code generation. This frees the developer to actually get things done. Tagged by jstone under serialization, tools, programming, library, protocols, free.software, open.source, networking, rpc,

Gearman

jstone — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 04:50:00 -0400

Gearman provides a generic application framework to farm out work to other machines or processes that are better suited to do the work. It allows you to do work in parallel, to load balance processing, and to call functions between languages. It can be used in a variety of applications, from high-availability web sites to the transport of database replication events. In other words, it is the nervous system for how distributed processing communicates.

Academic Programmers - A Spotter's Guide

jstone — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:56:00 -0400

During the course of a computer science research project (or even a DPhil) it is highly likely that a researcher will have to generate at least a couple of lines of code. Most researchers fall into a number of well-defined categories when it comes to programming. This handy guide for supervisors, other researchers or the plain bored helps you to identify some of the prime suspects... Tagged by jstone under humor, computer.science, programming,

Polygen

jstone — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 12:07:00 -0400

PolyGen is a program for generating random sentences according to a grammar definition, that is following custom syntactical and lexical rules. Formally, it is an interpreter of a language itself designed to define languages, where to interpret means executing a source program in real time and eventually outputting its result. Here, a source program is a grammar definition. The execution consists of the exploration of such grammar by selecting a random path, and the result is the sentence built on the way.

ucanvcam - Virtual Camera Framework

jstone — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 07:52:00 -0400

This is a cross-platform framework for building virtual cameras. Virtual cameras offer the same interface as regular cameras to client applications (such as Skype), but provide user-generated or user-modified imagery rather than imagery directly from a camera. While ucanvcam comes with a set of special effects, the main intent is to make building virtual cameras easier for people without OS-specific knowledge, so they can focus purely on image processing.
