Swobodin v Brně

After some days of talk, I finally could convince a childhood friend, Kaizuko, to set up a blog. Kaizuko was discouraged at first, as had no ideas to talk about, but wrote 5 posts today, all treating interesting topics!!
Feel free to find out about the new blog called “My thoughts are my company“.
Welcome Kaizuko […]

Looking for more Google ranking, I updated my permalink structure and set it to the following for posts:
http://swobodin.fedora-tn.org/archive/999
The feature is included within wordpress, but you can handle it manually using mod_rewrite.
Note that old URL structure (/?p=999) still works.

With Bash, you can simply remove duplications by typing:
sort file | uniq
With Perl, it’s more funny. I found those pieces of code in Code Snippets.
Simple ‘Uniq’ code

my @uniq = keys %{{ map { $_ => 1 } @list }};

 
Another one, more efficient

my %u = ();
@uniqed = grep {defined} map {

Thanks Kaiser for the pic …

This is probably the best SVG gallery! Not about the number of graphics, but the quality.
3D objects made with simplicity and elegance. If you try to make them with a 3D software, there would be too much needless nodes which makes their size very huge; it’s not the case here.
The only problem is the […]

Those who like cows can’t ignore the political cows, cows with guns, The American Spy Cow Information. Now not less funny, Cow say and Cow think.
Cowsay is a Perl program that draws an ASCII cow with a speech balloon saying whatever pithy comment you give it on the command line. (Guess we’re talking about […]

During 20 miutes of boredom, I added a more or less complicated captcha to my contact form. It’s based on a 256 bit encryption, session handling and Gd image generation.
Spammers made me sick, they send any carp, link to anywhere, I don’t know what exactly is their objective, to encourage me to buy? I […]

Mark Shuttleworth, the South African Linux hacker and millionaire, owner of the company Canonical which sponsors Ubuntu, told in an interview with ChannelRegister that Ubuntu is going commercial.
Thus, Ubuntu will no longer be a community based Operating System.

Mr Shuttleworth also has a distant intention, somewhere in the future, of recouping some of the $10m […]

Have fun!

A nice classical Geek song; the part I liked the most is “We haven’t had that tm_year since 1969″ instead of “we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine”, referring to the UNIX timestamp.

I’m novice in the P2P world (what, something weird?) and I began trying several networks/clients.
Thanks Kassus and Gloom keeper for the tips/suggestions, but I actually find Bittorrent the best one to fit to my needs, for the moment, I have no problem with Mininova server …

After months of patience, tests, hacks, retrieving informations, spying, asking, using and modifying technologies, … I finally could accomplish what I was running after: Being highly ranked in Google!
Looking at statistics, I followed some Google referers, and to my surprise, I found my blog ranked in first position for some keywords; I first took it […]

Googlism.com will find out what Google.com thinks of you, your friends or anything! You have just to enter the name, specify whether it’s a person, thing place, time, … and you get funny results.
In fact, Goolism searches in Google and gets the results that contain the verb “to be” to make a definition. Just […]

I have found an interesting post in Hannibal’s blog (not Lecter, Barca himself) about happiness in the world; there was a link to the World Map happiness, according to a British psychologist.
The page, however, only shows countries classified by their alphabetic order, and not happiness rank. Lazy as I am, I did a quick […]
