Ceci n'est pas une pipe

It finally came time to pull the plug: if this post will be published (automatically) on my blog I will have somewhere to enjoy a well earned rest. I take this opportunity to make a short summary of this vintage work: even if they are passed in the blink of an eye, the last few months I have brought many important new features on the professional level. My business computer consultant proceeds in the best way and the commissioning of new production services for corporate end tetragon is making great strides, we are already in testing with the range "Web Television" and the rest is now being completion. Even my participation in the community of open source projects that have affected me most this year ( Drupal , WordPress , PHPClasses , etc..) is gradually consolidating. Read the rest »

The 'End Summer Camp (ESC) is a meeting of people interested in free software, and - more generally - to free knowledge. The event content is constantly changing and is created by its participants in the making. According to the formula MUD (miscere useful dulci) have provided seminars on various topics and much more playful moments: camping, barbecue, LAN parties, etc..

ESC takes place at 19 to 21 September 2008 in San Dona di Piave , near Venice, at ART2 Lounge, adjacent to the structure of the Sculpture Park in Architecture, to create an opportunity to get together, exchange knowledge and experiences between people who live on free software in its various forms, and celebrate the Software Freedom Day .

As every year you renew your appointment with one of the most traditional street festival: the "Ferrara Buskers Festival" began Friday, August 22 and will end Sunday, August 31. Warning: I noticed that the official event website is subject to down time slots when accesses increases. If you can not access the program, I leave a copy below. I know it is harsh, but did not put much more online. Here it is:

I'm adjusting the text of the new website we are creating for the project tetragon. The intent is to create an atmosphere around the new brand that conveys a sense of newness and a break with traditional approaches to fingerprint commercial, but also the right level simplicity and robustness: there are very good people behind this initiative and what must be clear to all.

There are no uncertain terms, my experience with VirtualBox by Sun Microsystems was simply amazing! Now I can use the software to run better under Windows XP without having to restart every time my Linux box. Necessary, try it! Needless lost in explanations of how to install because it is embarrassing in its simplicity: just install the package with dpkg. In this way, even those - like me - using a kernel compiled ad hoc will be assisted in the compilation (full auto) the forms necessary to virtualization. Here are the steps:

1. http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads visit and click on Binaries (all platforms)
2. accept the terms of use and download the correct file (in my case: virtualbox_1.6.4-33808_Debian_etch_i386.deb)
3. install with dpkg:
   #dpkg -i virtualbox_1.6.4-33808_Debian_etch_i386.deb
