ScummVM is a program which allows you to run certain classic graphical point-and-click adventure games, provided you already have their data files. The clever part about this: ScummVM just replaces ... [More] the executables shipped with the game, allowing you to play them on systems for which they were never designed! ScummVM lets you run these adventures: Adventure Soft's Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2; Revolution's Beneath A Steel Sky, Broken Sword 1 and Broken Sword 2; Flight of the Amazon Queen; Wyrmkeep's Inherit the Earth; Coktel Vision's Gobliiins and games based on LucasArts' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system.

Welcome to the Metacircular Research Platform (MRP), a new design effort in building performant multipurpose metacircular systems. Metacircularity is a property whereby a system and its run-time are ... [More] all written in the same programming language. MRP is written in Java, including libraries, compilers, garbage collectors and binary translators. It is also a test bed for operating systems written in a metacircular manner. [Less]

Nexgent is a nagios like daemon that runs on paravirtualized Xen guests. Vital information such as loads, iowait, memory usage and disk usage are exported to the privileged domain via Xenbus. The ... [More] privileged domain can then establish inotify like watches on guest values, enabling the privileged domain to take action on events (such as loads getting too high, memory being exhausted or a disk filling up). This program is not yet release quality, but soon will be. [Less]
