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

As I promised, BD-incollo 0.1 is finished and the source code is available in the project page under the GPL 3 license.
Every MUST requirement has been done and just two MAY requirements could not be developed in just 6 days. But They will surely be in the next releases.
Sourcecode is well commented using xP standards and there are few comments where necessary, but is should be clear. If not, drop me a mail.
I will write a map that describes the source code tree tomorrow!
The conclusions of this experiment are that Django is really a web framework for perfectionists with deadlines! I spent more time playing with templates and CSS than with the whole python coding! It's a valid alternative to Ruby on Rails, and built on a programming language I really like.
Go and grab the code!

We finally finished our university project, Unipoli. The Java implementation of the famous Monopoly game by Hasbro has been released under GPLv3 (yes it's free software) . You can have a look at the source code, simple but elegant, written using coding standards, following xP practices and Scrum software development process (at least we tried to follow them).
On the project site you will find useful documentation, too: Vision Statement, User Stories, Noun Extraction, Product Backlog, UML Classes, Hierarchy and Relations, UML class diagram, Javadoc.
The game has been written for Programming Project course.
(more...)

As you see, the blog has a brand new theme! the blog's theme has got a new, fresh look! I decided to bring some new improvements and a change in the layout. Let me experiment with it, fix some bugs and then I will release the source code, as always

BD-shell is a project I started about a month ago, which aims to implement a tiny, simple, clean unix shell written in C language. It's an academic project. The Operating Systems Course at my University requires this project as part of the assesment.
I decided to publish the source code and to release it under the GPL, for two reasons:

1. Free software is better! Others can learn something from what I learned
2. Free software is better! I can learn something from what others learned

As always, I accept every kind of suggestions!

Time for two new C programs! At the DSA course I learned something about Hash Tables and collision resolutions.
I just implemented insert/search/print operations.

The first source code is an implementation of a Hash Map with open addressing (linear probing) as collision resolution method.
The following are the interesting functions of the program. As always, take a look at the source code for comments:

Download: hash-map-linear-probing.c

The second program is an implementation of a Hash Map with chaining as collision resolution method.
Interesting functions:
