An up-to-date look at free software and its makers
PROJECTS ON THE MOVE
Author(s): MARTIN LOSCHWITZ AND PETER KREUSSEL
We look at the Wwwoffle proxy server, the Rubrica contact data manager, the eSvn GUI-based SVN front-end, and the MDB Tools converter.
Thanks to cellphones and GPRS or UMTS, the Internet has become a constant companion. Business associates expect their contacts to be available 24/ 7, and assuming you have a UMTS network, surfing with your laptop or PDA is not an issue. GPRS, however, can make surfing today’s graphics-rich websites a real challenge.
The Wwwoffle program dates back to the days before flat rates. It was designed to help modem users reduce online costs. Wwwoffle (World Wide Web Offline Explorer) is a proxy server optimized for offline browsing.
