It has a GTK+ 2.0 interface and allows you to add, remove, or upgrade software packages on your system without requiring you to use a command-line. In addition, it can display details about available, installed, and out-of-date ports, as well as allowing you to search based on port descriptions. text/html 2007-01-12T15:09:59-07:00 http://www.meowfishies.com/software/bsdlive?rev=1168643399&do=diff BSDLive! BSDLive! is a live file-system CD, based on the FreeBSD operating system. It is unique from other live CDs of this kind, because the entire bootable image fits into just 48MB, making it possible to burn it to special credit card-sized CD-Rs. text/html 2009-07-07T23:25:31-07:00 http://www.meowfishies.com/software/fix3r?rev=1247034331&do=diff Fix3r Fix3r is a small utility for re-converting text in ID3 tags that were improperly converted to UTF-8 from something other than ISO 8859-1. This happens often with MP3 files containing only ID3v1 tags, since the specification states that only ISO 8859-1 is allowed for textual fields, leaving no option for the encoding of languages with non-Latin characters. The phenomenon of garbled text that results when these tags are displayed is called wp>mojibake. text/html 2009-06-15T11:45:59-07:00 http://www.meowfishies.com/software/hacks?rev=1245091559&do=diff Miscellaneous Hacks These are various scraps of code that don't fit into other categories.

This means that implicit casts from larger integral types can yield a value of NO when the integer representation is an even multiple of 256. This is because, without any bits in the lower-order byte, BOOL operations are done using bytes. text/html 2010-01-07T13:23:20-07:00 http://www.meowfishies.com/software/style?rev=1262899400&do=diff Braces Placement Open and close braces are always placed on lines by themselves, so that they are vertically symmetrical: class CClass { // ... } int func(void) { if (cond) { stmt; // ... } } @interface MyObject : NSObject { } // ... @end text/html 2007-01-21T18:42:54-07:00 http://www.meowfishies.com/software/sugarquote?rev=1169433774&do=diff SugarQuote SugarQuote is a sales quote system for SugarCRM.

VSTAU comes as two separate parts: a management application, and an Audio Unit capable of hosting a VST effect or instrument. The management application allows users to wrap installed VST plug-ins in VSTAU adapters, so that they are detected and used just like normal Audio Unit plug-ins. text/html 2010-04-24T17:50:55-07:00 http://www.meowfishies.com/software/xbelld?rev=1272156655&do=diff XBellD XBellD is a small daemon for replacing the standard X Window System terminal bell with a more interesting set of sounds. This is useful for systems where the terminal bell is handled by the “PC Speaker,” or where different sounds are desired for different classes of X clients.
