Il blog di Gas

Già…[tag]google[/tag] inizia sul serio a farmi paura….

Un po di posti “google maps” interessanti e sopratutto ingranditi. Le immagini sono ad ingrandimento 23 . L’unico modo per ottenere questo ingrandimento è sostituendo un numero all’interno dell’inidirizzo dell pagina di google maps, in particolare ” z=XX”. Nella barra dell’indirizzo del browser fra i vari “&qualcosa&qualcosaltro&ancoraaltro” c’è un “&z=XX&” , con l’ingrandimento massimo ottenibile scorrendo l’immagine col mouse si trova z=19 e lo si sostituisce con z=23.

Hi,
So I’m posting for a rather large project. I need someone to program me a new OS (Operasting System) that looks different than Ms Windows XP etc. but has the same style. It does not need to run on a mac but all the other PCs. It’s supposed to have a stylish look with clear edges etc. And ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE JUST A REDESIGNED WINDOWS as I’m going to sell that operating system later on. It’s going to be called BlueOrb.

These are some important points :

It should have ALL THE FEATURES that Windows Xp Professional has.
ALL the files that run on Windows XP ust also run on the BlueOrb OS.
It must have a very user-friendly interface (like MS WINDOWS XP)
When it gets Installed, the user needs to insert a serial number.
It HAS to be HACKER SAFE!
It must be quick and good looking.

Note that I only accept quality work and do not want any quickly done BS.

And here’s the best answer :

Hi. I can do this for you next week, when I plan on taking a break from a nonotech based / atomic fission driven search engine thats going to make larry page wet his pants. 6 days to code, 1 to rest. It will be written from scratch and completely original in design, so don’t worry about copyright bs. I plan to write the entire OS in C, and blindfolded, if its all the same to you. 100% secure will not be a problem either…In fact the OS will be designed to leverage jedi mind tricks to kill anyone that even thinks about breaking in. (i was thinking maybe make them chop off their feet and jump up and down until their empty would be fair). Anyways, I’m gonna smoke some more crack, maybe you should do the same. Thanks!

Today after syncing I found out that Rhythmbox 0.9.8 (codename “Type Slowly” it hangs!!!) and Ekiga 2.0.5 are now in portage. I use rhythmbox a lot and hopefully I’ll enjoy one of the improvementes like the album cover shown in the trayicon tooltip and the ability to transcode songs before sending them to the ipod .

Overview of changes in Rhythmbox 0.9.8 "Type slowly"

=====================================================* move to SVN and move round lots of files. yay!

* use "friendly" date-time in track list (William Jon McCann)

* add visualisation plugin (JOnathan Matthew)

* support more lastfm:// URIs (Jonathan Matthew)

* split code out into a library common to plugins and the binary (Jonathan Matthew)

* display cover art in the tray icon tooltop and song-change notification (Ed Catmur)

* Magnatune improvements (Adam Zimmerman)

* core art improvements, support art for podcasts et al (Ed Catmur, Martin Szulecki)

* Python plugin improvements (James Livingston, Jonathan Matthew)

* add support for the Jamendo online catalogue (Guillaume Desmottes)

* support new Gnome "media key" mechanism (James Livingston, Jonathan Matthew)

* support track transfer for "generic" audio players, and improve iPod

  track transfer support, including transcoding (James Livingston)

* many build/run issues on Solaris (Irene Huang)

* Nokia N800 support (William Jon McCann)

* Many core improvements, for future work

* the usual pile of minor features and bug fixes

As far as I can tell from the changelog there have been a few fixes for ekiga but no big improvements.

Thinking about ekiga i realize that is very easy to get lost in very simple things, especially for gnome developers. Every tray icon of any Voip/Chatting software on this planet change when you have a missed called , so you can actually realize that someone was looking for you but not with ekiga. You must open it and once you have done it there are no symbols that warns you about the missed called at first glance but there’s a single text message …. it doesn’t seems so smart…

Gravatar significa Globally Recognized Avatar , ed è un modo che i blogger usano per associare un identità ad un immagine nei commenti dei post, ad esempio quando io scrivo un commento ad un post su un blog che supporta i gravatar compare automaticamente la mia immagine affianco al nome.

Un cracker 4 giorni fa ha sostituito i file di installazione dal sito wordpress.org con “quelli suoi”.

Ci si può mettere tutto l’impegno che si vuole ma il modo di rimanere fregati c’e sempre.
