Afloat

Submitted by Quinn Dombrowski on

Afloat is a utility that adds new window management functionality to OSX, including keeping a window on top, or turning a window into an overlay on the screen. This can be particularly useful in full-screen view (e.g. during a presentation) when you want to keep another small window, such as a Twitter client, visible somewhere on the screen.

CHET-C

Submitted by Jake Peterson on

CHET-C, or Chapel Hill Electronic Text-Converter, is a software tool designed to convert digital texts that employ standard typographic editorial conventions into EpiDoc-compliant XML files. A series of regular expressions are applied to the source document and the results are placed into a “shell file” (i.e., a template), which can be customised in advance. The regular expressions are stored in a separate configuration file to permit customisation, but this file is generated from regular expressions embedded in the EpiDoc Guidelines source files.

MySQL

Submitted by Jake Peterson on

A software application that enables relational databases to be created, managed and queried. The database management system enables multiple users to access a database through an appropriate interface. As an open source tool, MySQL underpins a number of free software projects, such as WordPress, phpBB and other software built on a LAMP infrastructure. Although widely used, there are a number of performance issues that limit its use in some environments. For example, it is unable to use multiple CPU cores to process a single query, potentially limiting its use as a data warehouse.
