Today someone tried to hack one of my pet servers. Unfortunately he hacker gave up after I noticed his attack and nmaped him. 😛 Been fixing some errors on a friends portal. That’s a cool portal, with lots of news, but lacking a better design and more users. I added RSS2 support to it and […]

Centaurus
November 2nd, 2005I’ve been working on my free time trying to implement some more stuff on Centaurus. I still need to find some time to do the website, this one looks like crap. Anyway, I’ve done some refactoring and have implemented MySql support. I must confess that at begin I was a little “scared” because of the […]
Just installed WordPress
November 1st, 2005I’ve just installed WordPress it works perfectly and its amazing. The installation couldn’t be simpler except, IMHO, by the fact that we must setup the MySql database by our own. Although I don’t have root access to my hosting server, if I had, it should have an option to handle that – I believe MediaWiki […]
Is GNOME integration good for Mono?
May 21st, 2005That is a good question, and made me think a lot. From one side, having Gnome to use Mono as their development platform is a great thing, yet, that is a possibility but, Java can win the race. If Java is the choice, then where will Mono fall? By other side, I think Mono is […]
Monodevelop
May 18th, 2005It’s no big news I don’t like MonoDevelop. Yes, I do use it, because there is no alternative in Linux, except for X-Develop (commercial). I must agree that it is becoming a nice IDE in some aspects – debugger only, lol. The debugger is the only thing keeping MD alive at this moments, everything else […]
Database-application relationship
May 15th, 2005The lack of information and low knowledge in real application’s development can trick us to do somethings that don’t really need to be done. I think the problem is in the development platforms themselves, often they don’t provide you all the “right” tools thus inducting the programmer not to go the right way. There is […]
Windows vs Linux
May 11th, 2005Windows is the better for those who wish to work on easy things and all pretty stuff. But when comes to more flexibility and power Windows fails to provide that to their users. Anyway, there are many discussions about that on web, I wish to focus on a special feature Linux has and Windows don’t […]
The universal package manager
April 5th, 2005After a while in Linux world, I come to see there are too many package managers, each one with it’s own policy, and supporters. For instance, as I use FC, I use yum by default. Yet, apt/synaptic is my proffered choice. Exception for some things those fit my needs. Yet, there are 2 things I […]
GNOME things I hate about GNOME
March 6th, 2005Gnome looks nice and professional out-box. Kde looks a playground to Barbi’s. That was my first impression After a closer look, and spending some time to tweak it, Kde looks a more sane desktop to me. It runs faster, it’s more customizable and, in a way I can’t describe, runs smoother than Gnome. There can […]
