Fetchyahoo is a script written in Perl which fetches your email from Yahoo! Mail and either saves it in your mbox or can also send it to an IMAP folder. It pulls email using the web interface which is very useful for those with Yahoo Mail who do not have POP3 or IMAP access, since POP3 access for Yahoo Mail seems to be a paid service.

The deb package for fetchyahoo 2.14.0 is available from my PPA. You can either add it to your sources.list:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:weboide

or you can directly download it from launchpad:
fetchyahoo_2.14.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb

It might need a little time before you figure out how this thing works. First you need to understand the Patterns (upper-right part); Smasher divided the file you've given him into slices, and each slice gets a number and that's the numbers you see on the left. From there, you can select in which order to play the slices.
Below the pattern area, there is the effects area, that's where you can apply an effect to each slice (first column for first slice being played). Then it is very easy to understand the rest of how it works.

Important: Smasher doesn't seem to support (or struggles with) files that are relatively big. I suggest you stick with mp3's that are less than 1mb, or Wav files are less than 2 or 3mb. Otherwise you'll see your Ram memory go up and your computer will start freezing.

Here are some of the features it offers (from official website):

• slice loops in seconds
• load MP3, WAV, FLAC and AIFF
• save as WAV
• resonant filters
• effects
• share presets online
• sample packs
• free and open source

I packaged Smasher version 1.1.1 for Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope (9.04) and it can be downloaded from the CodeAlpha PPA:

• 64bits processor: smasher_1.1.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb (4.2 MiB)
• 32bits processor: smasher_1.1.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1_i386.deb (4.2 MiB)
• LPIA processor: smasher_1.1.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1_lpia.deb (4.2 MiB)

In Ubuntu repositories, only the 0.6.X version is available, so I packaged the 0.7.1 myself and with the paranoid mode.

You can find the .deb package of suphp 0.7.1 with paranoid mode on my PPA (Personal package archive): weboide's PPA.

You might have to make a little changes to the suphp.conf file (/etc/suphp/suphp.conf). Here's mine so that you can have a reference:

[global]
;Path to logfile
logfile=/var/log/suphp.log
 
;Loglevel
loglevel=info
 
;User Apache is running as
webserver_user=www-data
 
;Path all scripts have to be in

;Path to chroot() to before executing script
;chroot=/mychroot
 
; Security options

Streamripper is (obviously) a program that rips audio (radio) streams into files. It supports mp3 and ogg as output files. There are different third-party front-ends that you can use for those who needs a GUI (graphical user interface) and there is also a winamp add-on of the same name with customizable skins.

You can use it as a relay server when you rip your favorite station:

streamripper -r http://mystation/

And then connect to either one (depending on your player):

http://localhost:8000/
http://localhost:8000/.ogg
http://localhost:8000/;stream.nsv

Description

gtypist (or Gnu Typist) is a terminal-based typing tutor which is quite well complete: it offers a lot of tutorials, starting from low skill level to more than intermediary, and plus it can be updated with new tutorials easily with their easy and intuitive scripting language.

If you just wish to improve your typing skill, this program is for you. There are several "difficulty" levels and different types of tutorials (mixed letters, phrases, ...), and there are also tutorials for other languages (English, French, Czech, German, Finnish and Spanish). Dvorak Keyboard is also supported for English.
