Hola guy, in this days we are releasing another beta of Dixero, especially we have started to release public accounts.

“Dixero is a free and innovative Web-based tool which allows you to listen to your favorite RSS feeds directly online, on your computer as a Podcast, or using a portable device, like an iPod!

2008 Startup

Friday, February 1st, 2008

Hi, as usual I don’t blog so much, so I’m here to write about some last news.
From Jan 14th I don’t work anymore with Sourcesense, now I work with Phiware, a young and funny company placed in Lugano. It was sad for me go away from Pronetics/Sourcesense after many years together, but this is the life…
My hosting (Aruba) sucks, I’m planning to move on Servage, if you want to suggest me another please add a comment.

Last news

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

Hi people,
in the last months I was very busy and the time for blogging was not so much, so now I force myself to write a little resume:

  • from May I work with HippoCMS, this is a Cocoon based CMS and use WebDAV (Slide) for content’s storage. After this time working on it I can say that the product is good and simple, optimal for a non-too-much-complex site and with a good and friendly user interface.
  • during August I work for a little project in RoR; I never wroted any ruby line before that and the curiosity for this framework was very high. After all my impression is that RoR is a really good framework for creating little site with many CRUDs, but the sintax not make me enthusiast and the not so strictly rules put a lot of confusion into my brain.
  • for my holiday I was in Sharm el Sheikh, the travel was not expansive (yeah, a really last minute on the web), I made many snorkeling sessions and it was really, really, really spectacular. I hope to came back there sooner or later.
  • this year the annual CocoonGT was made in Rome, the venue was the wonderful Bioparco, that was a funny week and many thanks go to the main promoters (Sourcesense, Semeru, Hippo). Here you can browse some photo.
  • in the last 3 weeks I cannot browse anymore my photo album, I receive a strange Fatal Error by php but I cannot see any error into the logs. My provider does not support me so much :( and I don’t have so much time to investigate furthermore.

Ping world…

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

As usual I don’t write so much as I want. So I’m here for ping the world and say “Hey guy, I’m alive!”.
Finally I’ve terminated my work in Lugano, and from the 17th May I was in my office. Now I’m working
on a project based on HippoCMS, a full featured CMS wroted with Cocoon.

I’m still alive…

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Yes, I know, I don’t blog from a lot of time, but in the last months I don’t have much time…
From 15th January I was in Lugano for follow an interesting project based on Cocoon framework with a very nice AJAX client.
During this project I tried to port some flowscript to Javaflow, but in Cocoon 2.1 the Javaflow implementation is not complete and the are some boring issues. So the porting was put in pause, waiting for a official 2.2 release.
In the meanwhile we need some features like the possibility to load some selectionlist values into CForms widgets during the bind (not at declaration time). For this I wrote two components that during the bindLoad() phase load into the widget the model’s collection


<fb:selectionlist-value id=”l-country” path=”detail/country/id”>
<fb:selection-list path=”allCountries” value=”id” label=”name”/>
</fb:selectionlist-value>


I think that this can be a common issue, so I will clean the code and contribute it.

MBP: a possible fan issue?

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

Hi guys,
I’m here to write about another possible Apple MBP problem.
After the last post, I received some hints to install a software under MacOSX for increment the fan speed.
So during the Christmas holiday I’ve installed smcFanControl and FanControl tools. But what I see is a little strange: under smcFanControl I can see only the second fan speed, the first seems not working

smcFanControl

while FanControl report me the same speed for both fans

FanControl

and this not convince me at all!

Anyone with a MBP can tell me if these tools work correctly for him?

Apple, I love you!

Monday, December 11th, 2006

If you follow this blog, probably you can remember my recent Apple issues.
It *seems* that after the assistance, all the problem was resolved, and probably this is true, but a new was emerged.
When my mac was “terrible hot” it shutdown unexpectly. I have this problem under MacOSX and Kubuntu, on both OS. If I try to execute any application that is ‘CPU eating’ for a lot of time I can get only a black screen in front of me :( .

Now I’m using MBP raised by desktop and with a USB fan :D
