The future looks promising

Monday, February 20th, 2006

Every time a new Gnome or Fedora release is close to be release I get exited. This time is not different and it will carry very good news to Mono. First, Fedora Core 5 will release Mono, F-spot and Beagle. Unlike the previous versions it won’t be optimized for i386 anymore, instead it will be […]


HELP! I’m an Object Factory!

Monday, February 20th, 2006

It has been a week since my last post, I’ve been coding on ePortal WYSIWYG ASP.Net editor, like a mad man and almost had no time either to family or friends. Anyway, the progress is amazing and when the product gets released I’ll try to do some work porting it to GTK# so we can […]


The lazy sunday

Sunday, February 12th, 2006

It’s amazing how difficult it is to stop working even on Sundays. Hehe. I’ve been running with some problems with my subversion repository. The most anoying one seems like a subversion bug to me. Subversion, for some unknow reason, keeps some files at an older revision – in fact the files are updated but the […]


Mailing-list VS Forum

Thursday, February 9th, 2006

It is very common in the Open-source world to make use of mailinglists both for users and developers communication. The fact is almost an historic one since the old-web had almost no dinamic pages support and forums weren’t born yet (AFAIK). The fact is that when we are discussing a specific subject we wish to […]


What a wonderful GNOME!

Tuesday, February 7th, 2006

Well every one knows that GNOME rocks, but from a users prespective, and news reader, we could be thinking that Linux and GNOME is a step behind Microsoft, specially Vista’s effects and redenring effects.As I previously posted here comparing to Vista, Novell is working on an extension to X.org that would allow any X application […]


XML and Global Warming

Monday, February 6th, 2006

For a long time now I’ve been thinking about the impact of XML in computer developers and global warming. In fact there isn’t a direct relationship, but here’s the point: XML is a great markup language that makes our life easier in a lot of situations. It is self described and human-readable,bla, bla, bla… but: […]


Spamers and Google

Sunday, February 5th, 2006

I was just thinking… yes! I do think! And I’m not blond! LOL Just like there are web spiders searching for each and every page, so their owners can show some results on their search engines, I bet spamers have their own too. No matter how they get your email, the problem is that if […]


Good news to Monodevelop

Friday, February 3rd, 2006

While anwsering to a mailinglist discussion I come to realise that SharpDevelop license has been changed to LGPL. The change applies to SharpDevelop2 builds 2.0.0.919 and forward. So, the SharpDevelop 1.x code is still GPL but if you use newer code you can use LGPL. SharpDevelop2 is currently in Beta 1 stage, but from what […]


Suse review part 2

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

Well, after a while playing with Suse, the (previously) notable distro, I’ve to say I’m seriously disappointed with it. The first problem is that I can only use my pen when the pen is plugged at boot time, if I plug it after that I need to mount it in the terminal because Suse keeps […]
