2 Settimane fa sono stato contattato da Fullo (presumo di FulloBlog) per parlare del mio progetto di Tesi, JPound. L’intervista sarebbe stata pubblicata nella rubrica OSS…equi alla signora, su OSSBlog. Detto fatto. La cosa comica? La discuto DOMANI (2006-10-17) la Tesi!!! Fatemi un IBAL!

Log4E is an Eclipse Plugin which helps you to set up your logger easily in Java Projects. It assists you in several tasks: logger declaration, logger Insertions at certain method entries, substitution of System out’s, modification of already existing logger statements. Log4E has active support for Log4j, Commons Logging and JDK 1.4 Logging. By defining your own templates you might be able to adapt your own logger to the Plugin. A very usefull plugin for every Eclipse Java Developer, that knows the importance of Logging… expecially in huge projects.

Finally I catch much time to rewrite my Resume. It’s Europass CV Compliant, but written with Latex and the Document Class “europecv” by Nicola Vitacolonna, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science - University of Udine, Italy. If interested, take a look.

It can be REAL! After the sufficient, but instable, KDE3 compiled on Mac OSX, seems that KDE4’s developers are working to run it on Mac OS X. This is possible because Trolltech have released many months ago QT4 for Mac OS X: a very powerfull, smart and fast C++ Framework… integrated with Aqua. ...

Welcome In this howto we will install 2 bind dns servers, one as the master and the other as a slave server. For security reasons we will chroot bind9 in its own jail. Using two servers for a domain is a commonly used setup and in order to host your own domain you are required to have at least 2 domain servers. If one breaks, the other can continue to serve your domain. Our setup will use Debian Sarge 3.1 (stable) for its base. A simple clean and up2date install will be enough since we will install the required packages with this howto. In this howto I will use the fictional domain “linux.lan”. The nameservers will use 192.168.254.1 and 192.168.254.2 as there ip. ...

Here, the plugin homepage. It seems to work correctly. I hope the spam-tornado that HIT every day my blog will goes down.

This is the first official release of a new project, JPound: JPound is a Control and Configuration System for Asterisk PBX Based on the ARA (Asterisk Realtime Architecture) and builded with DB-Centric-Systems in mind, JPound is a young but powerful (I hope ;)) idea to make Asterisk a complete, manageable, extensible, flexible Phone System. Actually, JPound version is 1.0 stable. The main structure is good defined and it seems to be solid but extensible. I have many idea about future services and expansions: it’s a ’testing-the-field’ release. … ...

Apple, ora sono profondamente deluso da te. “The Next big Features”? Questa é il tipico “JOKE”!. E’ una presa per i fondelli. Mi sono andato a leggere tutto l’articolo (ottimo, da 10 e lode) di Ars Technica scritto dal talentuoso (almeno con le parole e per la conoscenza) John Siracusa… e lo sconforto mi ha assalito. Io quest’anno sono stato (e sono ancora) impegnatissimo, quindi ho dovuto letteralmente “bypassare” Solaris 10. L’ho solo scaricato, ma senza avere il tempo di installarlo. 2 erano le cose che mi interessavano (e ora lo sono anche di più): ZFS e DTrace. ...

Because of the diffused inactivity on the servers of my hoster (Top Host) I catch’up the time to upgrade (finally) ot Wordpress 2.0.4. Here the official release message: WordPress 2.0.4, the latest stable release in our Duke series, is available for immediate download. This release contains several important security fixes, so it’s highly recommended for all users. We’ve also rolled in a number of bug fixes (over 50!), so it’s a pretty solid release across the board. Upgrading is fairly simple, just overwrite your old files with the latest from the download. If you’d like more thorough instructions, the Codex is always the best spot. Since this is a security release, if you have any friends with blogs make sure to remind them to upgrade and lend a hand if they’re not too savvy. We’re all in this together. Thanks to Geoff and Mark Jaquith for identifying. ...
