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.

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.

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.

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
while FanControl report me the same speed for both fans
and this not convince me at all!
Anyone with a MBP can tell me if these tools work correctly for him?

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

I’ve just uploaded the photos made at the annual EICMA show. As you can see I lost much of my time around Aprilia’s stand, looking at the Tuono 1000 R and Tuono 1000 R Factory models.
I was happy that Deysy had the possibility to make many rounds on the new Ducati Monster 695, she own a Monster 620, so the difference is not big, but seems that the new model is more easy to use and is lighter.

Hi,
in the last post I wrote about my MacBook Pro hardware problems, I have it back from the assistance.
My hard disk was substituted and they replaced the “logic” too (I suppose they means the entire motherboard with CPU). But the error reported by the Apple Hardware Test is already here, so they wrote me that it can be a fake… strange! (Someone can execute the test on own MBP 15″?)
BTW, I’ve reinstalled the OS, resized the partition and installed a fresh Kubuntu Edgy 6.10, the installation was gone without problem, specially if you follow this guide. All the essential work fine but I should spend some of my spare time to:
- configure the embedded ISight 1.3Mp webcam, I’ve tried to compile the module but for now I cannot have it working;
- configure AIGLX (for now I’m using the ATI official driver, and not the open driver);
- resolve a little issue with the audio, I can switch from mixer between speaker and headphones, but not automatically when I plug the headphones;
- test the suspend;
After the installation I’ve made a little comparison of the two OS when building my actual project with ant. Before the assistance, on MacOSX the time of the whole build was above 5 minutes. Now on Mac it take an average of 3′15″ and under Linux about 2′45″ with some excellent times of 2′30″ . It seems that the eclipse use is faster too. Obviously this times are completely arbitrary and they depends principally by the JVM, so It should be that only the Apple JVM is slower, and not the OS. I’m not an Apple fan, but I cannot believe that this is the real gap, so in the next days I will do more test, with and without the JVM.
