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!
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!
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!
BD-blog is currently at position 32755 in Netcraft Most visited web sites ranking. This means that I earned about 20k positions in just one month! This is thanks to the link of my review of GOS published on Distrowatch!
BD-blog site ranking, top 30000
I'm very happy with these results but now I want to begin a new race with a brand new domain name! I'm tired of bd-things.net, event if it brought me such great results and knowledge around the Net.
I will announce the new domain name very soon.
According to Netcraft, BD-blog recently broke the wall of top 50k in the most visited web sites. And finally, the RiskRating of the url reached score 0 (I don't know why, but it had a minimum RiskRating for almost two years).
Anyway, here is the screenshot of the site rank:
I'm so happy about it! 
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.
