On linux

Exams, drugs and house :P

Lately, I am busy with exams. The last one is on Saturday (26-feb).

Work on nmap-sharp is doing well, I submitted the project at forge.novell.com. I am still waiting for approval.

Yesterday I smoked first cigar this year. Not good.
PS: normal cigar, the title is a joke after this song .

Google hosting of Wikipedia

Google hosting - From Meta; discussion about Wikimedia projects

A lot of people are concern about wikipedia performance lately. Google wants to help them.

Gravatar and windows RIP

Gravatar - Globally Recognized Avatar

Interesting.

anyway, I lost a 15Gb fat32 partition. So, I lost half of my music, a lot of work for school and all windows programs. So from now on I will use only Linux.

Conclusion: bye bye Windows.

My Blogging Tips - Technorati Tag: RoBloggingTips

Experienţa mea de blogger a început în felul următor.

Pe Windows foloseam klipfolio pentru a citi ştirile. După ce am migrat pe Linux, am căutat ceva asemănător deoarece klipfolio nu era disponibil pe linux[1]. Şi aşa am descoperit rss-urile.

La momentul acela şi clienţii de rss din linux[2] erau cam spartani dar ce-i drept că nici nu erau aşa populare rss-urile. După un timp am început să selectez rss-urile şi aşa a rezultat o categorie cam necunoscută, la care i-am pus numele weblogs ;) Încetul cu încetul acea categorie tot s-a mărit şi a devenit destul de greu de citit. După care am descoperit www.bloglines.com, şi am mutat toate weblogurile acolo, clientul de rss rămând pentru citit ştirile, alerte de securitate, etc.

Aceasta a fost prima parte a experienţei mele de blogger. Am de gând să mai deschid un blog unde voi continua. Momentan n-am nici o idee unde îl voi deschide, mi-ar place mult să fie într-un blog comunitar, planet.chip.ro sau ceva asemănător. :P

Această intrare în blog a apărut în urma acestei iniţiative. Am descoperit că blogosfera românească este mai mare decât mă aşteptam cu persoane extraordinare. kudos pentru Carmen şi Gabriela.


[1] se pare că este în plan şi un client pentru linux

nmap frontend in gtk#

I am writing a frontend for nmap in gtk#. The program will be crossplatform.
The GUI is almost done, initially I will port old frontend, after that I will try to add new features like settings(save, load), view logs, history of IP targets.



Is expected a new release of mono, gtk#, monodevelop.

I have a nightbuild version of Firefox, now is using gtk file selector. New web standard XForms is working without problem so far, Firefox being the first browser who support xforms.

gmail invitations

WOW

Seems that Gmail will spread with invitations.
First announcement of Gmail was in 1 April 2004. A lot of people thought that was a joke.
Maybe this year on 1 April, Google will make another joke like this.

remote control for my desktop

Exams are coming fast.
    [/alert]

I am writing a remote control for my Linux desktop. What I want to do is:

1. control audio player            done
   
2. control video player
3. access movie database
   
4. control tv tuner
   
5. to look like a real remote control, with a LCD screen.
   

BTW, in gtk# method setFromFile can't be used in a image widget.
You can do something like this:
   Gdk.Pixbuf pix= new Gdk.Pixbuf("/tmp/muine/1.png");
   imgCoperta.Pixbuf= pix;
