Reek is an open source software which is written in Ruby. I used to hesitate to show anyone the source code that I made when I just started to learn about programing. I thought the code that I wrote was not good enough and I thought maybe I should write more based on standard.

Checking with a sample code
There are some basic rules to writing a code, of course. I notice that they use more DRY (Don’t repeat yourself) rules recently. Before you want to show your code to someone, you might want to use Reek to check your code.

CDE packages environment and runs common binaries on different distributions.
CDE is OSS for Linux. In Linux world, it is thought as natural that we should download and compile source code to run. Configure(s) and make(s) would absorb environment difference on various distributions and servers.

not available on Mac OSX though…
On script languages such as Ruby, Python, PHP or Perl, they run code in execution engines to absorb differences among individual OS as well. In the same way, CDE absorbs these differences among various distributions and enables to run the same binaries.

Installation cases of web cache are increasing in recent web-system developments. Many frameworks for web applications support web cache by default. Memcached comes to the top of the list.

You can check memcached status like top.
Memcached is so light-weight and functions useful-to-be are hardly implemented, even status monitoring. An independently developed tool may resolve this situation.
Today we introduce memcache-top, a command-line script to show memcached’s status.

PyMacAdmin is open source software of Python utilities. I’m very interested in this software, but I regret that I’ve lost Mac OS X 10.5 environment on my computer… Though we can execute various operations by using a terminal on Mac OS X because it is based on Unix, there are still operations that we can’t execute on it by a terminal.

The Installer of PyMacAdmin is provided.

Gow is one of OSS products for MS Windows.
For those who usually use Linux or Mac OS X, command line operations are real pains when they switch to Windows. As we have no choise but to use GUI on it, it would be convenient if we can do some work on a command line.

Over 130 commands
In that case, I used to use Cygwin. But I didn’t like it bacause of its frequent changes of registries and the naming “cygdrive” itself.
If you want to use just commands simply, try Gow.
