Is it a pun? :)

Reading the configuration file of a GPLed software I found an adjective that I’ve never heard before :)

If you want more than one server, just copy (the) following section (…) serveral times.

Che VoIP ne so…

Leggendo i referer di questo sito, ho scoperto che qualcuno l’ha raggiunto interrogando un motore di ricerca per

consiglio VoIP

Anche se immagino come sia saltato fuori questo falso positivo, posso provare in breve a dire la mia: ho scelto di passare l’ufficio al VoIP da un paio d’anni e, grossomodo, lo usiamo senza problemi particolari; non mi sento di suggerire nessun fornitore specifico (chi vuole può provare a cercare su voip.html.it). Una cosa voglio comunque far presente a chi fosse in cerca di pareri sul tema: VoIP e fax, spesso, non si sposano (e se lo fanno litigano parecchio)… tenetelo ben presente.

Post Updated NG 0.3 is out

Post Updated NG (NG stands for “Next Generation”) is a WordPress plugin that displays the last modified date and time for a post (that is, if later than the original post date). Useful for providing a “last updated” flag to your posts. It is based on the plugins of Ronald Huereca and Kaf Oseo.

To install and use it, download the zip file, extract post-updated-ng.php, upload this to your wp-content/plugins/ directory, activate the plugin in WordPress then (optionally) set its options in the ‘Options’ menu in WordPress.

Its home is here.

Software Liberation Front

Summer is coming and there is a question that is increasingly being asked: “Where did you buy your Software Liberation Front t-shirt?”. I made it. :)

Don’t hesitate to buy and, wearing it, let everyone know that you belong to the raging wing of the Free Software movement. :)

You talkin’ to me? :)

Reading the referers of this website, I found that someone reached it querying a search engine for

Perassi Bash patch talker

I suppose they were trying to reach my old bup patch (it modifies the shell to send all user keystrokes via UDP over the network for collection by a sniffer or a syslogd server). bup gave me a place on the FSF/UNESCO Free Software Directory. The whole story of this patch is available here… and no, this is not a tale that grows in the telling. :)

Parafrasi felice

Parafrasando Fanfani/Tolkien: “siamo tornAti”. :)

Nick Drake Italian songs

I have never heard either any Italian songs by him or any Italian covers (music or lyrics).

Raddoppio

Qualche nuovo orpello e poche importanti novità: peraltro, certe cose son rimaste le stesse. Nella biblioteca, indegno riflesso dell’altra, lo stesso odore ancora attraversa i decenni.
