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 1024x768)
• 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:

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

Just released the code for the 0.9 version. Changes from the experiments of 0.8 are listed on the project page, but the most important ones are that the theme is now fully compatible with

• Internet Explorer 7 and 8
• Mozilla Firefox 2
• Mozilla Firefox 3
• Google Chrome
• Apple Safari

And there are lots of visual improvements, too. Go to see them on the project page, and grab the code, too!
Obviously, coding for the 1.0 release has just started, and you will see the changes in the theme applied on my blog.

Time for a review. Thanks to the always useful DistroWatch.com service, I discovered a new Gnu/Linux distribution, called gOS. gOS stands for Good Os, born in 2007 in California. The version I'm reviewing is the so-called "gOS 3 'Gadgets'", their third release. gOS 3 Gadgets BETA is based on Ubuntu 8.04.1, and the final release is to be expected in the next 1-2 months.
This distribution is built around Goggle apps and services, comes with Google Gadgets for Linux pre-installed, as well other nice programs, like Google Picasa, Wine, Mozilla Prism for Google web applications and Wbar as launch bar. I've never heard about this bar, it's very quick and light. Good choice! The distro also includes proprietary codecs for multimedia content.

Mi é venuto un sorriso quando, facendo pensieri sulla mia universitá e giocando contemporaneamente con google, ho scoperto che con questa query:

Venga fuori il mio blog al 6o posto

Cnet ha da poco postato un articolo che denuncia da parte dell'High Technology Crime Investigation Association l'uso dei browser alternativi (come il grande FireFox, o il veloce Opera) come impedimento per le indagini investigative. La stessa Cnet prende a mio avviso un po' in giro Exploder, scrivendo:

Internet Explorer hides nothing from police and other investigators who examine PCs to discover which sites the user has visited,[...]
Investigators know the location of the IE browser cache, cookie files and history, and they know how to read those files

Insomma, Exploder é un browser lento, non supporta bene XHTML, si inventa tag suoi e non supera nessun test CSS. Neppure la futura versione 7 non é in grado di superare l'acid test.
In veritá nessun browser la supera del tutto, ma se FireFox arriva a rappresentare almeno il 90% dell'immagine creata, Explorer 6 rappresenta solo i colori della faccina che se vede creare, andando a disegnare sullo schermo un bel quadro impressionista di forma quadrangolare. Explorer 7 fa la stessa cosa, e questo significa che questi (3? 4?) anni di sviluppo sono serviti alla m$ solo per agiungere il tabbed browsing...

... E non fa nulla per garantirci un po' di privacy ... La sicurezza in piú dei browser alternativi sta semplicemente nella diversa organizzazione dei file, i loro nomi e la loro localizzazione.
Grazie al cielo esistono alternative..
Cosa devo ancora scrivere per farvi passare tutti a FireFox? Ah si, le sue estensioni per aumentare la privacy! http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/list.php/Firefox/privacy e https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/showlist.php?application=firefox&category=Privacy%20and%20Security

Da adesso in poi si puó ritenere il mio blog completo e terminato: ho scelto un tema davvero bello e leggero, ho terminato le traduzioni, ho finito di rendere il tema conforme allo standard XHTML 1.1, il CSS é conforme agli standard w3c. Ora si comincia sul serio!
Anzi, per chi non lo sapesse, il blog si vede peggio su Internet Exloder che su FireFox
Guardate gli screen:

Internet Exploder
FireFox

Non vi sembra una buona idea per scaricare FireFox?
