This is me: so cool! :P

«I made a discovery today. I found a computer. Wait a second, this is cool. It does what I want it to. If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me... Or feels threatened by me... Or thinks I'm a smart ass... Or doesn't like teaching and shouldn't be here...
Damn kid. All he does is play games. They're all alike.»

files (skip)

These are the my old softwares, previously hosted on sourceforge. These project are to be considered closed. I leave them here just in case someone really need them for whatever reason.

Remember: due to an idiot policy of this hosting service links to these files will not work unless they're placed in a page of the same hosting service, like this one. This means that you'll be able to download them only from here. (Not my fault.)

will I stop sharing my little software codes?

Sep 26th (Fri), 2008 - 23:15 / on: my projects

Since two days now I'm browsing the web searching for a free hosting service for my little code projects, but with sad results...

After having fight one day more against sourceforge, which doesn't allow me to manage my stuff (web space and files) in an easy and direct way, I was pondering to move anything somewhere else, but it seems that it's very hard to find out something reliable without paying.
There are dozens of offerts around, but I can't find info enough to get a panorama of the pro and cons, nor to isolate the affordable services (and with affordable I means old ones, which are not going to disappear at the same speed they made themselves service provider)

Basically any offert has some umbelievable hole: a totally unknow provider, or maybe well know but people complaining about downtimes or even site suddenly closed with some excuse. Or they do have silly limitations...

Sadly altervista (which hosts this blog) doesn't allow me to use this space to host and share files, unles they're linked and clicked via pages still hosted here.

I'm seriously thinking at stopping sharing my software. They don't worth the hassle of paying something each year, just to have a little website to make them available.

What to do now? Closing all? uff.. >: 7

new blog

Sep 18th (Thu), 2008 - 21:19 / on: about me

uff.. I finally managed to fix the new blog.

I'm waiting to make some medical tests at the hospital, so while waiting I took the chance to quickly do something I was thinking at since many months now: writing a little custom software to run my blog.

I've been inspired by the previous one, simple php blog. But this one is rewritten totally from scratch, except for a couple of functions I fixed according to my requirements, since writing them was wasting time to get the same result or maybe something worse.

I named it B-WARE! which stands for Blog Without Administration Resources Embedded. This because to post a message I have to write the text directly into a formatted php file and upload it onto the server. It may sound complex but it's just the same for me. : )

I tought also to upload it on sourceforge but that place becomes more and more weighty after each restyle. As usual I wasted hours to get nothing done about uploading files and having the site working. Then I found that they still use php4! Or at least I didn't find any option to turn on the v5. So it was going to fail anyway.
One of these days I'll get sick of it and I'll move my projects somewhere else. Too complex. I need a consulent to use that service... And it's also so damn slow that I fail also in logging in... bleh...
well, I'll find a way to distribute it. It'll be my 4th software project. : )

Anyway, here at least it works. How is it? Do you like it? I hope so. : D
