"Despite consistent efforts to turn Ronald Reagan in to a minor deity, the philosophical progenitor of our current conservative government is Barry Goldwater... who energized fledgling conservative Republican cadres and began the march toward political dominance.

Created some new debs: one for obpager another for qlogtools, and another for xhkeys

To get them just add these lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list

For Debian stable add:

deb http://debian.shyper.com/debian stable/
deb-src http://debian.shyper.com/debian stable/

or

For Debian unstable add:

deb http://debian.shyper.com/debian unstable/
deb-src http://debian.shyper.com/debian unstable/

And then run

apt-get update

Then you should be able to use apt-get as usual to install obpager, qlogtools, libblowfish, and zebedee.
