NEW Autostitch :: a new
dimension in automatic image stitching
Autostitch is the world's first fully automatic 2D image
stitcher. Capable of stitching full view panoramas without any user
input whatsoever, Autostitch is a breakthrough technology for
panoramic photography, VR and visualisation applications. This is the
first solution to stitch any panorama completely automatically,
whether 1D (horizontal) or 2D (horizontal and vertical).
Autostitch is built using cutting edge research from the AI lab at
UBC, but it's incredibly simple to use! Just select a set of photos,
and Autostitch does the rest: digital photos in, panoramas out. Try
the free demo (for Windows):

Fight Spam - Join Project Honey Pot
http://www.projecthoneypot.org/home.php
Project Honey Pot is the first and only distributed system for
identifying spammers and the spambots they use to scrape addresses
from your website. Using the Project Honey Pot system you can install
addresses that are custom-tagged to the time and IP address of a visitor
to your site. If one of these addresses begins receiving email we not
only can tell that the messages are spam, but also the exact moment when
the address was harvested and the IP address that gathered it.
The project operators collate, process, and share the data generated
by your site with you. They also work with law enforcement authorities
to track down and prosecute spammers. Harvesting email addresses from
websites is illegal under several anti-spam laws, and the data resulting
from Project Honey Pot is critical for finding those breaking the law.
I don't know your feelings on this but with over 4000 emails a week
coming to harvested addresses, I am all in favor of being
pro-active, as well as reactive. |

NS-Batch - Sometimes you need more than a simple Ip address lookup
Do host name lookups of lots of IP addresses. It also lets you
interactively look up host name from IP addresses or IP addresses from
hostnames. Just feed it a file with IP addresses in it (of the format
127.0.0.1), and it will dig out the addresses, look up the hostnames,
and create a text file containing:
1) the IP address in hex (useful for sorting)
2) the IP address in dotted-octet format (i.e., 207.43.183.2)
3) the corresponding hostname, (i.e., www.jimprice.com) and
4) the hostname reversed (i.e. com.jimprice.www)
5) additional status information about the lookup (whether or not it
worked)
You can then import the text file into your favorite word processor,
spreadsheet, or other program, and sort it by IP address or other
fields. Also, the program now includes features to probe a subnet
(listing all the computers on a given network), and to display your
local host's IP address, as well as some amount of flexibility in the
output format. www.jimprice.com
