Boxi is a free backup component for Windows and Linux. It backs up over the Internet, without disks or tapes, is fast and efficient, and protects your data on the server and in transit with strong encryption so that even the server owner can't read it.

Lex is a project to develop linguistic tools for RRG analysis of the Hebrew old testament. The code is open source (GPL license) and can be found at http://rrg.qwirx.com/trac/lex. Unfortunately the Hebrew data is not open source, but you can try it out on Genesis 1-3.

Documentation is included which describes how to build the necessary hardware.
