Ora2Pg [1] is a free tool used to migrate an Oracle database to a PostgreSQL compatible schema. It connects your
Oracle database, scan it automaticaly and extracts its structure or data, it then generates SQL scripts that you can
load into your PostgreSQL database.

Ora2Pg can be used from reverse engineering Oracle database to huge enterprise database migration or simply to replicate
some Oracle data into a PostgreSQL database. It is really easy to used and doesn’t need any Oracle database knowledge than
providing the parameters needed to connect to the Oracle database.

Raphaël [1] is a small JavaScript library that should simplify your work with vector graphics on the web. If you want to create your own specific chart or image crop and rotate widget, for example, you can achieve it simply and easily with this library.

Raphaël uses the SVG W3C Recommendation and VML as a base for creating graphics. This means every graphical object you create is also a DOM object, so you can attach JavaScript event handlers or modify them later. Raphaël’s goal is to provide an adapter that will make drawing vector art compatible cross-browser and easy.

In version 1.4, they includes touch support for mobile devices such as the iPad.

Gordon [1] lets you run your SWF movie files in a JavaScript based environment, without the need of any plugins or additional software. It takes advantage of the latest web technologies like SVG to render vector based graphics or Web Workers for enhanced performance and to parse even large SWF’s in the background, without blocking the user interface. Furthermore, it gives you full access and control of the resources, characters and timeline behaviours in your movie via JavaScript or DOM scripting.

If you have multiple branches, which is very common with git, it also finds changed files between those branches. It also deletes files on ftp server which were deleted in the local git repo. It does only upload and delete git tracked files.

Some more features:

• Option -D: dry-run, so you can see what would happen
• Option -a: Forces to upload all files
• Option -i: Enter the FTP password interactively
• Shows a warning if you are not on master branch

Let’s have a look at git-ftp.sh in action:

GNOME Do [1] allows you to quickly search for many items present on your desktop or the web, and perform useful actions on those items. GNOME Do is inspired by Quicksilver & GNOME Launch Box.

This tool is even able to instantly search your Google contacts and their contact details. I am really wondering why this great tool is not installed by default on Ubuntu!

It is already ready in your sources.list. You can install it by running:

1

sudo aptitude install gnome-do

You can find it in “Applications -> Accessories” afterwards.

After starting Gnome Do, in the upper left there is a small arrow where you can find a context menu with preferences. Make sure you configure Gnome Do to be started at Gnome Login, so it will be available right after your login. There are many usefull plugins like “File and Folders” to search files. Make sure you enabled it so it will also be used.

After that the magic keys to press are Super + Space on your keyboard.

Cappuccino [1] is an open source application framework for developing applications that look and feel like the desktop software users are familiar with.

Cappuccino is built on top of standard web technologies like JavaScript, and it implements most of the familiar APIs from GNUstep and Apple’s Cocoa frameworks. When you program in Cappuccino, you don’t need to concern yourself with the complexities of traditional web technologies like HTML, CSS, or even the DOM. The unpleasantries of building complex cross browser applications are abstracted away for you.

Cappuccino was implemented using a new programming language called Objective-J, which is modelled after Objective-C and built entirely on top of JavaScript. Programs written in Objective-J are interpreted in the client, so no compilation or plugins are required. Objective-J is released alongside Cappuccino in this project and under the LGPL.
