Portato is a GUI-frontend for Portage (the package management system of Gentoo Linux) completely written in Python.

PotatoFinder is a Windows Incident Correlation Engine developed by PotatoChimp Labs. It helps users investigate crashes, system instability, and unexpected behavior by reconstructing timelines of events and identifying likely root causes. PotatoFinder continuously monitors important system activity such as software installations, Windows Updates, process crashes, driver changes, service modifications, and other system events. The built-in Investigation Engine correlates events around an incident, calculates confidence scores, generates evidence for and against each possible cause, and reconstructs what changed before things broke. Historical fingerprinting allows similar incidents to be compared over time, helping users recognize recurring problems and successful fixes. Features include: • Timeline Reconstruction • Incident Correlation Engine • Historical Fingerprinting • Root Cause Analysis • Anomaly Detection • Exportable Reports • Dark Theme GUI with System Tray usage.

PowerVPN a GUI for VPN server. (Under development)

Pretty Damn Quick (PDQ) analytically solves queueing network models of computer and manufacturing systems, data networks, etc., written in conventional programming languages. Generic or customized reports of predicted performance measures are output.
