Bacula is a set of computer programs that permit you (or the system
administrator) to manage backup, recovery, and verification of
computer data across a network of computers of different kinds.
In technical terms, it is a network Client/Server based backup program.
Bacula is relatively easy to use and efficient, while offering many
advanced storage management features that make it easy to find and
recover lost or damaged files. Due to its modular design, Bacula is
scalable from small single computer systems to systems consisting of
hundreds of computers located over a large network.

libstatgrab is a library that provides cross platform access to
statistics about the system on which it's run. It's written in C and
presents a selection of useful interfaces which can be used to access
key system statistics. The current list of statistics includes CPU
usage, memory utilisation, disk usage, process counts, network traffic,
disk I/O, and more.

little flashing battery icon when the battery is about to die
so as long as we're talking to /dev/apm, store the battery level and
show when it changes ("Battery level changed to low")
Filelight creates an interactive map of concentric segmented-rings that
helps visualise disk usage on your computer.
It is like a pie-chart, but the segments nest, allowing you to see not
only which directories take up all your space, but which directories and
files inside those directories are the real culprits.
thanks to steven@ for improving my pathetic patch...

FAM, the File Alteration Monitor, provides an API which applications can
use to be notified when specific files or directories are changed.

Logpp is a tool for preprocessing event logs and feeding relevant
information to other programs for storing or in-depth analysis.
During its work, logpp reads lines appended to input files (like tail(1)
in -f mode), matches the lines with patterns (e.g., regular
expressions), converts matching lines according to given templates, and
writes the results to given destinations.
Logpp supports multi-line matching and several types of output
destinations like regular files, FIFOs, external programs, and the
system logger.Therefore, logpp can act as a filter in front of the
more complex event log analysis system and increase the system's
performance by weeding out irrelevant log data; it can work as a syslog
gateway between the system logger and the application that doesn't use
syslog(3); it can convert multiline log messages to shorter single
line messages, and accomplish other log pre-processing tasks.

- tabled can now listen on a local fifo and on a network socket
- a command line client, tablec, has been added to speak to a tabled daemon
over the net
- network exchange can be protected by a secret hash
