robotfindskitten
Zen Simulation of robot finding kitten
In this simulation, you play the part of robot. Your task is to
complete the simulation by finding kitten, as is your destiny, and
indeed your wont. You (robot) are represented by the # character, and
you move around with the arrow keys touching things. If the thing you
touch is kitten, you get a cute little animation (which was cuter in
the DOS version) and the simulation ends. Otherwise, you get a brief
description of what it is you touched.
libcommons-exec-java
Java library to reliably execute external processes from within the JVM
Executing external processes from Java is a well-known problem
area. It is inherently platform dependent and requires the developer
to know and test for platform specific behaviors, for example
using cmd.exe on Windows or limited buffer sizes causing deadlocks.
The JRE support for this is very limited, albeit better with the
new Java SE 1.5 ProcessBuilder class.

ruby-stringex
Some useful extensions to Ruby's String class
Some useful extensions to Ruby's String class. Stringex is made up of
three libraries:
- ActsAsUrl: permalink solution with better character translation
- Unidecoder: Unicode to ASCII transliteration
- StringExtensions: miscellaneous helper methods for the String class
libiscwt-java
abstractions and Java implementations for rendering PDF
To built a flexible PDF rendering one first needed some basics
functionality to deal with fonts, images and general platform
abstractions. The result is isCWT. It contains all abstraction and
implementations needed for rendering PDF that are not related to PDF
itself. This library is built and used primarily for jPod Renderer,
so one is likely to miss some features when using it in another context.
