sporting activities. It is not bound to a specific
kind of sport, as categories can be created for
all sport types that are endurance related,
such as cycling or running. The main advantages are a
good overview of the exercises and easy creation
of statistics for specific time ranges and sport types.
Users of heart rate monitors can organize the recorded
data by attaching them to the exercise entries.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News ColorExplorer is a tool for exploring the color
space and finding out how colors, color names, and
numerical color specifications are related. The

from a list of color names, by adjusting sliders
that control the mixture of red, green, and blue,
or by entering a numerical color specification.
The numerical specification of the current color
and an example of that color are shown in a pair

searched by entering a regular expression or by
requesting the closest match to the current
numerical color specification. A random color may
also be generated.
