You can ftp it from sourceware.org:/pub/libffi/libffi-3.0.13.tar.gz. libffi is free software. What is libffi? Compilers for high level languages generate code that follows certain conventions. Some programs may not know at the time of compilation what arguments are to be passed to a function. The libffi library provides a portable, high level programming interface to various calling conventions. FFI stands for Foreign Function Interface. Who uses it? The libffi library is useful to anyone trying to build a bridge between interpreted and natively compiled code. Supported Platforms Libffi has been ported to many different platforms. At the time of release, the following basic configurations have been tested: Please send additional platform test results to libffi-discuss@sourceware.org and feel free to update the wiki page above.

Welcome The application OSM2NetworkDataset converts OpenStreetMap (OSM) data so it can be used for network analyses in the ArcGIS extension Network Analyst. This program was designed to generate transportation networks for any mode of transportation and any region. The generated networks use OSM attributes, such as restrictions, one-way roads, turn restrictions, point barriers, and maximum speed. The path can be chosen based on the shortest distance or shortest time with user defined average speed settings. If you are interested in the generated network analysis data, visit the ArcGIS Online user group Esri OpenStreetMap OSM Group. There you can download OpenStreetMap networks. This application was developed by Eva Peters during her bachelor thesis (de) of her studies in Cartography and Geomatics at Esri in Kranzberg. The application OSM2NetworkDataset is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
Introducing the Google Command Line Tool Ever wanted to upload a folder full of photos to Picasa from a command prompt? We did, a lot, last summer. It made us want to say: $ google picasa create --title "My album" ~/Photos/vacation/*.jpg So we wrote a program to do that, and a whole lot more. GoogleCL is a command-line utility that provides access to various Google services. For example: $ google blogger post --blog "My blog" --tags "python, googlecl, development" my_post.html $ google calendar add "Lunch with Jason tomorrow at noon"$ google docs edit --title "Shopping list" --editor vim GoogleCL is a pure Python application that uses the Python gdata libraries to make Google Data API calls from the command line. Read more at the GoogleCL project page, or jump right to the examples. GoogleCL brings cloud computing to your fingertips, literally!

Okular - more than a reader Echo Echo3 is a light-weight open-source framework for developing rich single-page web applications. The server-side Java API enables fast & complex client/server applications using a Swing-style component API. The identical JavaScript API allows the easy development of pure client-side applications using the very same clean and intuitive programming model. New components can be easily adopted for both platforms. Echo3 has had a very long beta phase and the 3.0 release is rock solid and incredibly stable. Echo3 highlights Fast, scalable and stable Light-weight (less than 1MB JARs, no dependencies) Hybrid Java/JavaScript programming model Develop pure client side or server side web applications Advanced features such as sever side push, tab focus management Component based and very intuitive API Eclipse plugin for visual editing and Maven artifacts available Manages quirks & supports legacy browsers Planning for 3.1 is currently underway as is an update of the website, forums, etc.
StyleCop In defence of SQL | Seldo.Com Blog If this title does not interest you, here are some alternative, linkbait titles: Why ORM is the Dumbest Idea Ever Why NoSQL is a Terrible Idea OMADS: the future of data storage Why SQL Will Eventually Conquer The World A little history SQL was invented in the 1970s at the same time that "large-scale" (read: millions of rows) data stores came into existence. It triumphed over other query languages not because it was particularly great (though it was easier to read), but because it was standard. Everybody building a data store could write to the SQL standard without having to re-train all their clients and customers. SQL is awkward There's no escaping that SQL, as we use it day to day, is not pretty. Keep in mind that what SQL is really designed to express is relational algebra, a type of logic essentially invented by the ridiculously clever E.F. What it's not really for is collating, aggregating, and most especially filtering of data sets. So you're right. What about ORM? Post-SQL
