etm is an acronym for Event and Task Manager. It provides a format for using simple text files to store event, task and action information, a command line interface for viewing tasks and events in a variety of convenient ways and a curses-based GUI for creating and modifying events and tasks as well as viewing them. Alarms are supported for events and repetition for both events and tasks in a powerful and flexible manner.

Handy Web Development tool: CSSED
cssed is a small developer editor and validator, that tries to ease the CSS editing. It is an Open Source project, it means that you can download the program but also its source. It features syntax highlighting, syntax validation, MDI notebook based interface, quick CSS properties and values insertion, auto-completion and dialog-based insertion of CSS complex values. Being a CSS editor, it’s not limited to this language. cssed haved some support for HTML (with embbeded Javascript), XML, Javascript, Java, PHP, JSP, C, C++, Apache configuration files, .htaccess, Python, Perl, SQL, SH and other languages so it can serve quite well as multi-purpose editor. It can be extended through plugins and scripted with Python, so it’s quite easy to extend its functionality.
Lightweight Browsers: arora
Arora is a lightweight cross-platform web browser. It’s free (as in free speech and free beer). Arora runs on Linux, embedded Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Windows and any other platforms supported by the Qt toolkit. Arora uses the QtWebKit port of the fully standards-compliant WebKit layout engine. It features fast rendering, powerful JavaScript engine and supports Netscape plugins. Apart from the must-have features such as bookmarks, history and tabbed browsing Arora boasts: * very fast startup * integration with desktop environments * smart location bar * session management * privacy mode * flexible search engine management * ClickToFlash plugin * download manager * WebInspector, a set of tools for web developers * 30 translations Arora began as a demo by Benjamin Meyer to help test the QtWebKit component, but since then it has grown into its own project outside of Qt. Arora has a small, simple code base that is fun to hack on. Join the party in #arora on irc.freenode.org!
Quanta Plus Web Development Tool
Of course I realize this can sound like alphabet soup techno-babble to some web developers, but here’s what it means. When you are using Quanta and realize you would like to do something and you want to ask “Can I do this?” you can expect the answer will not only be yes, but it will probably be even cooler than you hoped for. Not included on this site are other tools you can use with Quanta for revision control and reviewing and merging changes in files. Those applications are Cervisia and Kompare, and if they are not installed and you install them Quanta will use them. We would like to think that there are rich rewards to be found here for those willing to explore new ways of doing things, or perhaps in some cases old ways that are just new to you.
Screem HTML/XML Editor
SCREEM is a web development environment. It’s purpose is to increase productivity when constructing a site, by providing quick access to commonly used features. While it is written for use with the GNOME desktop environment in mind it does not specifically require you to be running it, just have the libraries installed. Unlike most other web site / HTML editors SCREEM does not provide a WYSIWYG display of pages. Instead you are presented with the raw html source in its editor window.
