2009 final considerations. 2010 year of the Phoenix?

About a year after the creation of bd-theme-zen Wordpress theme, I decided to switch to a new theme. The new theme is monochrome

The reasons behind are simple: unfortunately, 2009 has totally been not a Zen year for me. Many things have not gone as I thought they should have been. Many other important things have been melted. Lot of things have changed.

I hope 2010 will be the year of the Phoenix, in which everything aggressively changes again and turns better. For everyone, for sure.

Therefore, I decided to switch to a new theme, monochrome by mono-lab.net. This theme is very modern, yet minimalistic and elegant. And surely, more nice-looking than those themes written by me.
I’m still happy with bd-theme-zen, I liked its initial orange version and I appreciated the glacial blue one I decided to switch to around August (the color switch was also significant for me).

But this is not time for being Zen. It is time to be reactive.

I wish everybody a fucking explosive 2010.

For those of you asking if I was spending my time to write this post on 2009-12-31 at 00.00: I wrote this post on 2009-12-26 and scheduled the publish to the beginning of the new Year.

BD-theme-zen

BD-theme Zen is a minimalistic, imageless, 2-columns, orange Wordpress theme.
Its clean design was inspired by the great style of Dean Lee blog. The theme was quite written from scratch, using Chris Nolan’s modified version of the default WordPress theme as codebase, that is optimized for viewing at 1024 pixels and adds sidebars on pages and posts.
BD-theme Zen is thought for focusing on the content of your posts while maintaining a delicious but clean aspect.

I’m very pleased to announce the final version of BD-theme! For those who don’t know, BD-theme is a widget ready, two columns Wordpress theme. It is written using the default Wordpress theme as php/XHTML base.
The theme is mostly inspired by TorrentFreak rounded layout.

Anyway, here is a screenshot:

Announcing incollo.com service!

When I announced BD-incollo 6 days ago, I also mentioned that I would have launched the service today. I really did that, and I’m very proud to announce the first site that runs BD-incollo.
http://incollo.com! Very easy :-)
Incollo.com is a collaborative debugging tool like Pastebin or other similar services, but it’s slightly different from it. And it’s different from other Pastebin clones even written using Rails or Django.
Here are the most exciting features:

  • It’s Fast. Very Fast
  • Written thinking about usability
  • A very clean interface, a minimalist design that gives space to the code (as it should always be)
  • It’s possible to search through pastes, like in a forum
  • A Paste is not deleted after 30 days or something similar. A paste is deleted after it is no more interesting! It’s deleted after 60 days of no visualizations
  • The system is anonymous. It won’t store your information! Paste whatever you want but please use your brain! A Paste may be reported to the administrator!
  • You don’t really have to play with options and there are no required field other than the Paste itself. You may paste a text and directly hit the submit button
  • Quite every page is XHTML 1.0 compatible
  • It works well and has nice urls, thanks to Django
  • Compatible with every browser (tested with Internet Explorer 6,7,8, Mozilla Firefox 3, Apple Safari, Google Chrome)
  • Resolution friendly! Liquid design that adapts to every monitor resolution (tests from 1024×768)
  • Developer friendly! Every functionality of incollo.com can be used with max 2 mouse clicks and without a mouse scroll!
  • Tested with lots of pastes, quite every source code should be perfectly viewed (this does not happen with every pastebin clones I’ve tried)
  • Uses Pygments for code highlighting
  • Languages supported: ActionScript, Assembly (various), Boo, Befunge, BrainFuck, C, C++, C#, Common Lisp, D, Delphi, Dylan, Erlang, Haskell (incl. Literate Haskell), Java, JavaScript, Lua, MiniD, MooCode, MuPad, OCaml, PHP, Perl, Python (incl. console sessions and tracebacks), Redcode, Ruby (incl. irb sessions), Scheme, Visual Basic.NET, Django/Jinja templates, ERB (Ruby templating), Genshi (the Trac template language), Myghty (the HTML::Mason based framework), Mako (the Myghty successor), Smarty templates (PHP templating), JSP (Java Server Pages), , Other markup, , Apache config files, Bash shell scripts, BBCode, CSS, Debian control files, Diff files, Gettext catalogs, Groff markup, HTML, INI-style config files, IRC logs (irssi style), Makefiles, MoinMoin/Trac Wiki markup, Redcode, ReST, SQL, also MySQL, Squid configuration, TeX, Vim Script, Windows batch files, XML

This is an example of Paste with Incollo.com:
http://incollo.com/7dca5011

You are really welcome to report any bugs or leave a feedback! Remember that this is my very first Django project, and I created it in about 6 days!

Of course, I’m already beginning to think about new features :D

BD-incollo

BD-incollo is a collaborative debugging tool like pastebin but written using Django.
Why did I write another pastebin clone?
Pastebin is (sometimes) slow, and I’m not (yet) interested to categorize pastes or to associate them to a user. Pastebin is free and the code is available, but is a single php file, and not a Django project!
There are already other services there, even written using Django, but no one is free software. BD-incollo IS free software. Well, BD-incollo has been written after those Django pastebin clones, so i could learn from their mistakes and write a better one! Everybody is welcome to grab the code and modify it, or even to submit suggestions!
