At the end we decided to adopt OpenTrip. I could propose the Dynamic extension of the protocol, over XML-RPC.
By the way, I opened a GitHub repository to host the source code of Dycapo. At this moment I just implemented and documented the models.
Dycapo project source code is hosted on: http://github.com/BodomLx/dycapo.
I love to be back to Slackware, my very first distribution. However, there are a couple of things that I’m missing from the other more comfortable distributions. From among them, I totally miss Network Manager.
I saw many people asking in forums on how to install Network Manager in Slackware 13.0. There is Wicd, already present in Slackware “repositories”. Every Slackware maniac will tell you that it does the same job of Network Manager, but I don’t agree. It does not always work and is more complicated to be configured than NM.
Anyway, I’m going to explain to Slackware newbies the dirty way to have a fully working Network Manager on Slackware 13.0. This method is totally against Slackware philosophy and will also replace some important libraries of the system! Anyway, the packages being replaced are prepared from the guys behind GNOME SlackBuild, a project to bring Gnome in every Slackware release.
You have two way to have Network Manager in your Slackware: either install the entire Gnome from them (or any other similar project) or use slapt-get against their repositories and just install Network-Manager. Here are the instructions. All the following actions must be performed as root user:
slapt-get –update
slapt-get –dist-upgrade
SOURCE=http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gsb/gsb-current/
slapt-get –update
slapt-get –add-keys
slapt-get –install –reinstall alsa-lib bluez glib2 gtk+2 libwnck
slapt-get –install NetworkManager network-manager-applet
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus /etc/rc.d/rc.hald /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager
netdev:x:86:root
Add your username after root (bodom_lx is my case)
netdev:x:86:root,bodom_lx
cd ~/.kde/Autostart/
Create a file called nm-applet.sh with the following content:
#!/usr/bin/bash
nm-applet –sm-disable &
Give it execution permission:
chmod +x nm-applet.sh
.
Reboot your system. Everything should work fine now.
To uninstall Network Manager and restore the system as it was before the installation follow these instructions, as root::
removepkg /var/log/packages/*gsb
#SOURCE=http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/gsb/gsb-current/
slapt-get –update
slapt-get –reinstall –install glib2 libwnck alsa-lib gtk+2
chmod -x ~/.kde/Autostart/nm-applet.sh
Feel free to comment any suggestion.
If you are running Debian Sid (i386) and are trying to install Gnome using
apt-get install gnome
You will probably might be disappointed because of problems regarding gnome-desktop-environment, ekiga, ptlib (libpt2.6.4) and opal (libopal3.6.4). Everything seems related to a missing 386 version of libpt2.6.4 on Debian Sid. Also libpt2.6.4-plugins is missing. Packages are also reported to be broken.
Well, I was tired to wait for the right solution of Debian’s Gnome maintainers (respect to all of them!) and have just built my version of ptlib with built-in plugins. If you download it, install it and try again to install gnome, everything works fine.
Obviously, there are reasons behind the absence of a i386 version of libpt2.6.4 and libpt2.6.4-plugins from Debian Sid repositories. My workaround is surely not the right way to fix the problem, as I don’t know the reasons of the blocks on those packages. It may be either serious technical reasons or “simpler” political reasons. You might prefer to wait for the heroes to fix the problem in the Debian way. You are advised, anyway.
If you feel brave and just want to see your Gnome Desktop Environment appear on your Sid box then follow these steps:
1) Download my libt2.6.4 Debian Sid package. It provides libpt.2.6.4 and libpt2.6.4-plugins required by Ekiga, which is required by gnome-desktop-environment
2) Install it:
dpkg -i libpt2.6.4_2.6.4-1_i386.deb
3) Try again to install gnome:
apt-get install gnome
Stop here if everything is fine!
If it doesn’t work:
4) Try first to install libopal3.6.4:
apt-get install libopal3.6.4
If it works, go back to step 3.
If it doesn’t:
a) Try first to install Ekiga:
apt-get install ekiga
If there are still problems with libopal:
b) Download my libopal3.6.4 Debian Sid package. It provides libopal3.6.4, which is also required by Ekiga.
c) Install it:
dkpg -i libopal3.6.4_3.6.4-1_i386.deb
Go back to step 3.
Good luck!
This document contains some basic concepts and definitions about software testing. It has been written for studying a part of the Software Engineering Project course at my University. It is composed by a summary of the intersection of more than 10 different sources, all of which are cited. If you feel that some contents of this publication belong to your intellectual property and it is not cited, please contact the author who is willing to correct any mistake.
The first part of the paper focuses on the definition of the most important key aspects of software testing. Then some information about input partitioning are given. What follows is a research about code coverage and two useful and famous tools, Control-flow coverage and Data-flow analysis. A complete example on using those tools is then given. The second half of the document also contains the definition of the most important software testing practices.
The goal of this tiny document is to clarify key terms and therefore become a base start for the reader to go in deep with the interested topics. Another goal is to give a simple but clear example about data flow analysis, as I realized that not all the people understand the examples around the Net.
Software Testing is an empirical investigation conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the product or service under test, with respect to the context in which it is intended to operate. Software Testing also provides an objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks at implementation of the software. Test techniques include, but are not limited to, the process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding software bugs. It can also be stated as the process of validating and verifying that a software program/application/product meets the business and technical requirements that guided its design and development, so that it works as expected and can be implemented with the same characteristics. 1
It is always a great satisfaction to reach a goal. It took me about 3 years but I finally did it!
Today task3.cc entered top 20k in Netcraft Most Visited Websites, at position 19058!
On September I desired to re-enter top 30k in about a year after the domain name change .
8 months after I reached a even better result.
I took two screenshots of the event , because I don’t think that this will happen so much often in my life 
I would like to thank all the visitors of task3.cc for their support, even if I would be happier to see more comments that would surely help to improve my articles.
In something more than a month I will publish 3 project source codes: a C++ task manager, a simple dynamic website using Java EE5 and a C (subset) compiler. All of them started as University Projects. The first program will surely be expanded and improved after the publish of the source code. But before that time, I have to study hard for ca. 20 deadlines I must accomplish. See you again.
É con grande piacere che annuncio il lancio di www.trasportiamoci.it, nato dalla collaborazione di 6 persone (tra le quali il sottoscritto) interessate a risolvere problematiche legate al trasporto oranizzato.
Riporto qui parte della lettera che verrá presto inviata a quotidiani, enti e chi piú ne ha piú ne metta:
Nasce in questi giorni il sito www.trasportiamoci.it, una concreta risposta ai problemi del traffico, dell’inquinamento e delle gravose spese per il trasporto privato.
Il nostro sito offre la possibilità ai cittadini viaggiatori di accordarsi per condividere gli spostamenti in automobile, fornendo una bacheca virtuale di domande e offerte di spostamenti.
Cosa si vuole ottenere con ciò?
Il sito è intuitivo e facile da usare: offre la possibilità di cercare un passaggio (con una semplice ricerca da città a città) o offrire i posti lasciati vuoti a potenziali compagni di viaggio, il tutto per una nuova forma di viaggio, la condivisione e la cooperazione.
Il tutto gratuitamente, permettendo di contattare offerenti e richiedenti attraverso mail o telefono in tutta Italia, per strade meno trafficate e aria più pulita.
É sufficiente iscriversi
