Hi,

all the internet user knows what are the wikipedia, it’s a open source project where anybody can collaborate with articles about anything, the objective of the project it’s to create and maintain a free source of reliable of information.

to maintain the quality of the articles, wikipedia have several rules what you need to respect, to not suffer the delete of your article. my personal experiene it’s very bad, really, i always use wikipedia to search information, but the last time i tried to colaborate creating a article about CODEAR (the contest created by ADVA members). now i try to write a clean article, i upload some pic in wikicommon and for my surprise in less than 24 hours has been erased by a moderator and reason are “promoting”. WTF? this it’s free contest, we dont get anything from this and the only purpose for this it’s to get more accessible the info about this for the users. for that i contacted the moderator who erased my article, askim he the reason about this, i dont get a response….

now, how wikipedia want colaboration of the user if going to erase all the article what dont fit with her elitism criteria?. how a professor, teacher, cientific or any people with valuable knowledge and experience, want to write a article if it’s erased by some teenager what have a bad day?. i’m not telling what wikipedia it’s bad, wikipedia it’s a great project, and i think it’s a great colaboration to the humanity and the open source, but if it continue like this, dont going to have a great future…

wikipedia has been dissapoint me, really…

Hi,

working like a freelance developer you are forced to make several things, using several tools,apis, codes and framework. for a experienced developer, it’s easy to make code for a new platform, if the documentation it’s available and it’s clear.

in the past few days i has been doing a component for joomla, and it’s not hard, but has been some difficult to find some specific information about the framework. for this, i want to use this post explain the principal function and how it work

note:

in the bottom you going to find a hello world component like a example of all what i’m talking here.

Hi,

when the first iphone SDK has been launched, i subscribed to the developer program of apple, with very entusiasm for the opotunity to publish my app (and most of it, games) in that platform. of course, why i live in argentina, i need to wait till apple approve my request, and that it’s what happen today (and i think it’s open wordwide now, really dont know, you need to register for that :P).

now, like pased some time ago from this, and i see several reviews about the apple platforms, a huge amount of diferent point of view, and i get the conclusion what, no matter how much succesful it’s the iphone now, i dont going to go now, pay the 100USD fee and start right now making app. why? i think the app store have too many app’s (and surely going to grow more in the future) and i want to see some successful cases of developers before launching me on this.

also it’s the fact i dont have the equip (no ipod/iphone/mac).

well, it’s that for now, really, i prefer to develop for android, but google it’s making me wait, and for that i dont discard the posibilite to be a iphone developer

also, about mi personal life, i’m with too much work and i have 2 projects in mind what i want to finish as soon as possible,

see you later

Hi,

a few days ago i get my notebook, and also a modem 3g (huawei e226) with for a movile internet connection.

after receive it, i try to find the form to install it in my ubuntu (the modem only provide the software for windows). i search in google and only find very unuseful information and too confuse and complicated how to’s. but just when i’m giving up, i found the easy and perfect solution :), for our luck, a spanish company (vodafone) develop a easy-to-use driver for this type of modem for linux (and you can use for any provider, not only vodafone ).

the first thing it’s download the driver from here:

https://forge.vodafonebetavine.net/frs/?group_id=12

you have deb, rpm and binary packages

when you finish the download, unplug any internet connection what you are using and plug your usb modem, then, install the driver and execute it, automatically going to detect your hardware (the mine detect like huawei 270 but it work anyway), and then you need to create the profile, you see a screen like this:

there you need to enter:

*name of the profile (any name)

*username

*password

*host APN

and optional (and necesary in my case) you can define the dns to use (my service provider dont send correctly th dns, then i use the dns of movistar, i think you can use any public dns).

this necesary data you can get from the windows software what install the modem, search in internet or ask  to your ISP (normally it’s the same for all the user’s).

it’s work for me and i hope it can work for you too ;D

ths it’s some bechmark of my connection, i have a 2.5mb plan but i dont have a good connection here

Shadow.
