My contract with my previous shared hosting contractor is coming to a close, and as they seem to have all but abandoned their business, I decided it was time to move away. I looked at using Amazon’s EC2, but ultimately decided to go with Bhost, with which I’m fairly happy so far. To get some decent performance out of it, I planned to use Nginx as my web server Keep using Apache as usual All my websites are configured to work with apache, ....

La scorsa settimana ho partecipato come relatore alla prima edizione del Ravenna CNA Barcamp sulla cultura d’impresa 2.0. Offline / Online è il racconto di una esperienza vissuta sul campo; un case study su come il mercato del software si è evoluto nel corso degli anni passando dalla classica filiera lunga sul territorio, tipica degli anni ’90 e della prima metà dei 2000, alla vendita online dei giorni nostri.

There was a question in Oracle-L about where is the LOB data actually stored (in the row or the LOB segments) and what are the exact conditions when a switch from one to another may happen. The documentation isn’t fully clear about this and the “4000 bytes” number may mislead people to think that you can store 4000 bytes of your data in a LOB item before it must move out-of-line. I clarified this in my post in Oracle-L, but will pos..

The Complexity of Things Previously on this blog (quite a while ago), we’ve investigated some simple ideas of using randomness in artistic design (psychedelic art, and earlier randomized css designs). Here we intend to give a more thorough and rigorous introduction to the study of the complexity of strings. This naturally falls into the realm of computability theory and complexity theory, and so we refer the novice reader to our other prime..

Partenza col botto per EuroPython 2012. I keynote introduttivi saranno tenuti nientemeno che dal creatore stesso del linguaggio, Guido Van Rossum, e da Alex Martelli. Ieri è stato annunciato il programma ufficiale e a quanto pare mi spetta l’inaugurazione della italian track martedì 3 luglio. Il giorno successivo sarò impegnato, ancora di prima mattina, con la versione in lingua inglese del mio talk:

We are looking for new advertisement platforms and we are interested in your site %DOMAIN% Is it possible to place banner on your site on a fee basis?

A while ago I wrote this , which summarised my frustration with cookie cutter quests in MMORPGs. Later I mentioned here that playing SWTOR and seeing how they tied an interesting storyline with traditional quest mechanics made it more enjoyable while reiterating that while I don’t think traditional quests need to be eliminated completely and can be made fun, quests still need to evolve.

On Saturday, I joined over a hundred other hackers at HackTO. This has become a regular event in the Toronto tech scene, thanks to excellent organizing by Leila Boujnane and Corey Reid. SoundCloud joined several other API providers, including Atomic Reach, Context.IO, FreshBooks, Shopify, TinEye, Twilio, Trendspottr, WordPress and YellowAPI. The idea behind the event is simple: find a team (or go solo) and build an app using one or more of ..

Hi All, Just submitted an update for the BBC News Mobile app, this fixes the issues around live tiles. I’m going to hold my hand up to this one, it was a fault when moving between SVN and TFS. The backgroundscheduler code in the last version was actually from an older release and this caused the issues. I’ve also added in a beta feature for related articles, this is to shut up my housemate - Dan, who has been hassling me to make this ha..

Update the talk for this is now viewable on YouTube here When I first came across Django I was an immediate fan. It featured: Good documentation Steady but stable progress Community around apps which encouraged DRY I’ve been a user off and on depending on my needs for nearly four years since discovering it, and throughout that time all of the above have remained true. However, as I’ve worked on and encountered more complex applic....

There was a question in the twitter-sphere about whether using sequences (sequence.NEXTVAL) in your select query’s projection list would somehow disable smart scans happening? The answer is no, sequence use with smart scans works just fine. The smart scan offloading applies to data retrieval row sources (and filtering) only and nothing else. So, what you have in the query’s projection list (the sequence use for example), does not direct..

Growing Index - boyter.org - 14 years ago - eng
Happy to announce that the searchco.de code index is growing nicely. Even as you read this blog (assuming anyone does read it) thousands of new files are being added to the index. I suspect in time the code index will be one of the larger ones on the web. At last count it was well over 2 billion lines of code but I suspect this has grown quite a lot.

UPDATE, Tue Apr 17: I followed the advice of an EB rep on the EB Games Facebook page and called the store to check on my CE key today, which still has not arrived. Then I called the EB Games CSR line (13 39 30) as the rep suggested. They sent my key out to me via email straight away. I registered it on the GW2 site using my old GW1 account. Quick and painless :) Now I just hope they did indeed give me a CE and not standard or DD key as the....
