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.

Un chiarimento sui designer

(Sorry about the use of the Italian language on this post. If you’re not Italian, then you are not interested about the content of this page, anyway)

Lettera aperta ai visitatori:

Caro Visitatore,

Se sei uno studente di Design alla LUB e sei capitato alla mia vecchia pagina intitolata “Un messaggio da quelli di design?“, vedi di leggere bene il contenuto della pagina e di distinguere ció che scrivo io, unico autore del blog, e ció che scrive qualsiasi altra persona. Trovo infantile il modo in cui alcune persone si siano accanite su di me confondendomi con ció che hanno scritto altre persone sotto forma di commento.
BD-things.net é un blog/sito che raccoglie articoli e pensieri informatici, soprattutto in inglese e che non hanno quasi mai a che fare con la Libera Universitá di Bolzano. Men che meno con la Facoltá di Design, che si é meritata un mio singolo post. E proprio per niente con sclerate contro gli studenti di Design, persone che non ho mai giudicato male.

Se sei uno studente di Informatica e ce l´hai coi designer della LUB, leggiti un articolo informatico del mio blog o prendili per il culo per i fatti tuoi da un´altra parte se ci tieni, a me non interessa prendere in giro le persone che frequentano design. Ci sono altri blog che lo fanno, non il mio.

Sei sei una qualsiasi altra persona che capita su quella pagina, evita di sparare a zero su studenti di design o su studenti di informatica applicata. Se hai critiche costruttive scrivi pure.

Grazie,

L´autore del blog e unica persona che lo gestisce

Daniel Graziotin.

A valid xhtml strict version of extending text plugin for wordpress

I began today to check my theme pages for passing W3C’s Validator test against XHTML 1.0 Strict. There is still some work to be done before it will be ready but I would like to share with you a modified version of the very useful Expanding Text Plugin for Wordpress, which lets you to create blocks of text in posts or which either expand or collapse when clicked on. I really like the plugin, but I noticed that it does not produce valid XHTML tags. Here is a light modification of the plugin which outputs valid XHTML blocks: dd-expanding-text-valid-xhtml

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!
Report feedbacks, feature requests and bugs on the issue tracker.

A Generic Quicksort Implementation in C

As assignment for Data Structures and Algorithms course, we had to work with a modified version of the quicksort algorithm. It came obvious that for modifying a qsort you need to implement it :-)

It is difficult to find a clear quicksort algorithm implemented, so I wrote it.

Here is the generic C implementation of the Quicksort Algorithm, which sorts an array in place, following the Divide And Conquer design.

Download: quicksort qsort in C language

Interesting methods (look at the source code for comments):

int partition( int A[], int left, int right) {
        int pivot;
        pivot = A[right];                                                                      
        while(1){
                while( A[right] > pivot){
                        right–;
                }
                while( A[left] < pivot){       
                        left++;                                
                }
                if( left < right ){                                                            
                        swap(A,left,right);
                }else{
                        return left;                                   
                }
        }
}

void quicksort( int A[], int left, int right){
        int m;
        if( left < right ) {                           
                m = partition( A, left, right);        
                quicksort( A, left, m-1);              
                quicksort( A, m+1, right);
        }       
}
 

As you see, there is nothing optimized in this implementation. It just looks elegant and easy to be understood.
If you would like to have a more optimized version of this algorithm, take a look at this one.
