Nobody can deny Google’s importance: aside from the search engine, Google has the best free E-mail, you may get some dollars without doing anything (adsense) and it offers a sophisticated analyze system (urchin).
However, the ranking system is doubtious, Sup’Comian Boy has already posted about this; and it’s true for my blog too: Although the […]

I don’t understand what does Google AI consist of? picking some words and making any ad? It does never fit with the context!
You may look at the sidebar that I got from Google to guess that the ads can not attract any reader from any part of the world! When I wrote a […]

Después de descubrir la riqueza del proyecto Gutenberg, Mavi, una amiga venezolana me recomiendó otro sitio para descargar libros gratis en castellano.
Soy una lectora si no muy apasionada, digamos que la disfruto muchísimo, y en un correo que recibí encontré la dirección http://www.formarse.com.ar y solo por curiosidad me di cuenta que tenia una sección […]

I released a cool PHP script that generates a wish card.
You can both use it and hack on it.
For users
Point your browser to http://swobodin.fedora-tn.org/wp-content/lab/card/?from=Sender&to=Receiver
&msg=Your_Message&wish=Your_Wish, and change the following parameters:

from: your name
to: receiver name
msg: your message, eg. “Happy_New_Year_2006“
wish: your signature, eg. “Sincerely,“

Note that you should replace whitespaces by underscores ( _ ) and separator […]

Why, actually? Google is a free service, isn’t it? And it is becoming more and more a normal part of many people’s lifes. Coupled with an always on connection it has certainly become an extension of my own brain.
 
Some future predictions:
 
- In 2006, Google accidentally gets cut off from the rest of the internet […]

I have coded a funny and buggy Feed Reader, with PHP and SQLite. So don’t be afraid if you see on the log a user-agent with a strange identity showing my URL: it means that I have added your RSS to my bookmarks

I had to get rid of spam comments in Fedora Tunisia; the spammer is from Mexico, he was writing anything and linking anywhere. I opened the log to see what program he uses, and realized that it was … Internet Exploder!!!
So he spammed all the articles manually! I admire his courage
Well, for that […]

I have applied one week ago to get a Google AdSense, the Google team approved my application, and it’s possible to get money.
I keep skeptic towards this, those ads don’t really bother visitors, besides, it doesn’t mess with XHTML, so it’s worth to try.

Not using Windoze does not prevent me from using some non Free Softwares sometimes, as long as they are good, useful, and GNU/Linux compatible.
Skype is one of the those programs, for it’s reliable, secure and has many features, besides, it doesn’t use some strange ports, only 80 and 443. However, I could not run […]

I have released a quick Perl script to parse an Apache log file and insert data into a SQLite database.
Click here to download the script.

 I’m actually using Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 aka Deer Park; too much faster than the stable version, but, as Beta, I experienced too many crashes and could not upgrade a huge number of extensions.
Hatem has suggested a little hack to “cheat” and manually upgrade the extensions using winrar; for UNIX users, if you want […]

Here’s a little script to download all Linux Gazette issues since 1995:
url=”http://linuxgazette.net/ftpfiles/”
for i in $(seq 10 99)
do wget -c lg-issue${url}${i}.tar.gz;done
for i in $(seq 100 118)
do wget -c lg-${url}${i}.tar.gz; done
wget -c lg-issue01to08.tar.gz lg-issue09.tar.gz
unset url

Becareful: you must execute the script in an empty directory (too many archives) and expect a 94 MB of size!
