One month without a post..

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

...but there is a reason behind this. I'm working hard to a Django powered project that (hopefully) will serve the Italian population that wants to travel at low costs.
After the launch of the site, I will come back with tons of use(less)ful posts that nobody will read :-)

bd-things and netcraft, 700000 positions in one month!

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

29 days after the inclusion of the new domain in Netcraft's most visited web sites, my site made a jump of more than 700k positions, hitting position 111506. I'm very happy with these results and hope that I'll reach the old result of top 30k with the old domain name in less than 6 months :)

The RiskRating is at "green" status, too!

Announcing incollo.com service!

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

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:
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-things.net, let’s start from 826423

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

In just three days the new domain from my blog (and things) has changed its status from "new site" to position 826423, according to Netcraft! This is surely because of the redirection of daniel.graziotin.net (which was near top 30k) to bd-things.net. I would like to reach top 50k in less than one year, and how couldn't I start in a better way than creating a new bd-thing? Stay tuned, I may decide to announce it tomorrow

A test site for BD-theme

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

I set up a site for testing my theme on a fresh installation of Wordpress. This immediately brought very interesting results, as I always tested my theme on my blog which had customization/plugins I could not remember.
Nevertheless, I'm going to use this test site for validating the theme against W3C's HTML and CSS validators.

The site is up on http://test.bd-things.net/

New domain: from daniel.graziotin.net to bd-things.net

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

As I previously announced, I purchased a brand new domain for my stuff.
The blog is changing during the months, becoming more than a blog but less than a site.
That's because I decided to buy the domain BD-things.net, because this site contains all of my things, files, thoughts, projects, publications.
The old address daniel.graziotin.net now redirects permanently here and every link should have been updated/rewritten. Please contact me if you encounter problems.
I also took BD-blog.net which points here, too, but I won't renew it the next year.
Some things are different now, but you won't notice it ;)
I obviously lost my decent position at Netcraft's Most Visited Web Sites rank list, but I don't care. It will be funny to advance with the new domain and reach a even better position!
I hope there will be a new beginning and a brand new life with BD-things!
