Ceci n'est pas une pipe

The ones I show on this page are some photographs taken at the benefit concert held at the "Live" Trezzo d'Adda on 5 May. The public only now because I have not had time to do first and why an annoying bug in WordPress plugins I use for the photo gallery prevented the proper display of rotated images. I know: they are of poor quality, but I do not think it would affect much to fans of such artists ...

It has successfully completed the maintenance to the South Col of Everest sensor Share The intervention was necessary because of a system failure detection of wind and humidity. The flow of data from the sensor is taken regularly. I could then restore all the scripts that pull data and convert them into human-readable information.

A suite of manipulation of bitmap images ImageMagick provides a command line tool that can save us a lot of time. Suppose you want to put online a number of photographs to create a photo gallery or catalog of products. Each image must be properly resized and compressed to 72dpi, a job that can take anywhere from a few tens of seconds to several minutes for every single picture, it all depends on the degree of experience of those holding the mouse. Even in the best case, it is a lot of time, especially if the photographs to be machined are hundreds.

But if you have available to any Linux distribution, you must not do is harness the power of the command mogrify , one of the most useful tools provided by ImageMagick.

Just copy the images to be resized to a new directory:

mkdir thumbs
cp -r *.jpg thumbs

This is important because mogrify transforms the file without preserving the files' original. Now, if we want to resize all images in the thumbs directory so that it never exceeds the size of 500 × 500 pixels, we run the command:

cd thumbs
mogrify -resize 500x500 *.jpg

Et voila ...!

I have never participated in previous editions, but the program is so interesting to merit disclosure in blindly. Also because there is no guarantee of quality of TTB : to circulate ...!

A few days ago was released the latest stable release of brand new FreeBSD , without a doubt the most powerful and stable operating system for server environments. As I have already written, this wonderful UNIX has been for many years, my basic test, we can say that is the best operating system on which I have honed my techniques sysadmin. Among my server I still have a handful of "old" FreeBSD which do their work excellently, without any need for maintenance or upgrade. One in particular provides services for over five years for a dozen clients: five years during which I never had need for a reboot even if not those scheduled for routine checks on the hardware.

Apparently essential operating system, still limping with regard to the desktop, in the server FreeBSD Linux clearly beats any benchmarks, shattering every record when it comes to networking. His reputation for many is only linked to its presence on new operating systems from Apple. In fact many corporate end services are delivered on FreeBSD cluster, especially overseas.

The novelty of this stable mainly interested in the boot loader and the userland, but the most interesting thing that unites all the latest releases from 6.2 onwards is the ability to upgrade in a safe and reasonably easy with freebsd-update , an extraordinarily important tool for the dissemination of this operating system. Although it has not yet reached the level of automation of apt-get, to quote the best in Linux, freebsd-update is well designed, very intuitive, at least for those who already have a minimum of familiarity with such tools.

Here is an excerpt of the official announcement of the release:

In short, FreeBSD is an absolute must and shall be tested at least once. And it's love at first sight!

This is only a demo server for media encoding / embedding that we are testing. I know, maybe there would be the best ways to use your own personal blog, I'll try to refer back soon
