Quack

Quack is a GNOME interface for jaiku.com. It allows you to set your location and send messages and it also shows notifications when your contacts post new messages.

Requires pygtk, gnome-python, python-json and notify-python.

I have been informed that there also exists a project for Emacs called Quack: Enhanced Emacs Support for Editing and Running Scheme Code. It seems that all the good project names are already taken. So if you came here looking for the other Quack now you know where to find it.

BackupFiller creates path-list files that can be used together with mkisofs to produce iso images which can then be burned to CD or DVD.
