Un libro in italiano sul Networking

Un libro scritto da Vincenzo Ciaglia, capo e fondatore del progetto Netwosix. Il libro lo trovate quì, ed é veramente ben scritto (ne ho letto solo un piccolo pezzo per ora): la cosa interessante é la trattazione abbastanza approfondita che Vincenzo ha fatto di vari protocolli, un paio del livello 2 (tipo l’ARP) e parecchi del livello 3, andando dal Routing (EGP (interessantissimo!) ed IGP) ai DNS all’ICMP. Complimentoni a Vincenzo per il tempo ben speso ed un enorme grazie a nome di tutti gli appassionati (e studiosi) dell’argomento. ...

1TB for .Mac users

It’s true? An Apple technician say no, but some users says that our accounts indicates 1 Terabyte. IMHO, Apple is preparing a service of online video-selling based on a remote disk (no video file on computer users bu only streaming): it’s for security (for majors), but… Jobs knows users know! ;)

KDE 4 will run Dashboard Widgets

It’s easy to understand how: WebKit and KHTML use the same core (now they aren’t still together). But, what about Cocoa-Based widgets? :?: From Zack Rusin’s blog: I finally got most the implementation of the HTML Canvas element for KHTML finished. It’s in the kdelibs-js branch in SVN. After George/Maks merge their other changes we’ll merge it to HEAD. I’m planning to add full OSX Dashboard compatibility layer for Plasma (hence why I’ve spent most of the day yesterday on implementing the Canvas element)… ...

Embedding Python in your C programs

The language of choice for large, high-performance applications in Linux is almost always C, or somewhat less often C++. Both are powerful languages that allow you to create high-performance natively compiled programs. However, they are not languages that lend themselves to runtime flexibility. Once a C/C++ application is compiled, its code is pretty much static. At times, that can be a real hindrance. For example, if you want to allow users of a program to create plugins easily that extend the application’s functionality, you have to deal with complex dynamic linking issues that can cause no end of headaches. Additionally, your users will have to know C/C++ in order to extend the application, which severely limits the number of people capable of writing extensions. ...

Murphy ha sempre ragione

Tutto quello che può andar male (nel momento sbagliato), lo farà Non sapete quante volte mi é successo: preparo tutto, il server é settato al meglio come mai, tutto spende e luccica… improvvisamente la rete va giù nell’intero edificio e la mia presentazione va a farsi benedire. Proprio quando era appena arrivato il “Boss” (:oops:). Che stizza! :evil: Link: Capodanno in extreme administration.
