Non molto tempo fa, su queste pagine, fu fatto un confronto tra progetti piuttosto simili tra loro, ovvero i "pc-on-a-board". Da quel momento ne rimasi piuttosto incuriosito ed un bel giorno mi è capitata l'occasione di portarne uno a casa. Ecco il mio "hands-on".

Anche il web ha le sue ricette che spiegano quali "ingredienti" utilizzare (i software, un linguaggio di programmazione, ecc) e le varie metodologie per la preparazione del nostro "piatto" virtuale, i tutorial.

Starting from Ubuntu 12.04 we observed different graphics problems with “old” computers. When I say “old” I don’t mean obsolete hardware but PC with not more than three years of usage.

you want to improve your Google searches you can find many useful queries on internet and, if have time, you can also attend a specific Google free course. But just few people know that there are specific queries available for Gmail. I found some of them casually when I need to search some specific, old emails into my accounts some days ago. Then I discovered that Google itself published a complete list of all the possible queries accepted by Gmail. I warmly suggest you to spend some minutes reading and exploring all the queries because they are really useful when you use Gmail in a professional way. Here, I just want to sum-up some of them that, in my experience, are the most common you can use when you are becoming crazy looking for a specific email you sent or received. The powerful feature is represented by the possibility to mix the different queries to create super-queries that can intercept the “wanted” email or documents in a less than a second.....

First of all, I wanted to test one of the latest version of Android 4 but I didn’t want to spend money for a new device so I decided to use/sacrifice the Nook Color that I used rarely because I am a Kindle enthusiast. Secondly I didn’t want to void the Nook warranty or permanently modify its ROM.

The web is full of websites which help you to discover and follow items on ebay but, in the real world, from the moment you find something to the end of a winning auction many days pass and often you have not time to follow and properly bid for your “catches”. The software I use and recommend for ebay auctions is AuctionSieve. This software is written in Java and consequently it is multiplatform. In the Download Page you can always find the right version for the OS you are using. On Linux, download AuctionSieve, extract the file and save it to (e.g.) Home. Open the folder you created and...

La realizzazione del pcb, inteso come sbroglio piste e progettazione del circuito stampato, è la fase centrale del progetto elettronico, è la messa in pratica di tutte le idee del progetto. La strada sulla quale viaggerà il software, come il sistema operativo per i programmi. Per fare un buon PCB servono sostanzialmente 3 cose...

L'obiettivo di questa serie di articoli è di fornire una guida passo passo per la creazione da zero di un sistema GNU/Linux perfettamente funzionante, applicabile ad esempio in scenari di tipo embedded come base per la generazione di un semplice BSP (Board Support Package) [1], di un firmware Linux-based, o di una micro-distribuzione totalmente custom.

...I use Pogoplug as cloud server for my external hard disks because it is really simple to configure and trustful. Unfortunately the Linux version of the Pogoplug management software is not so simple to configure and has fewer features than the Windows and MAC versions.

I confess that I use Pogoplug as cloud server for my external hard disks because it is really simple to configure and trustful. Unfortunately the Linux version of the Pogoplug management software is not so simple to configure and has fewer features than the Windows and MAC versions. Running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I can manually mount the drives I connected to my Pogoplug device, following the path Network –> Windows –> etc.., but sometimes this way is not so fast and moreover I cannot access to Pogoplug Cloud. Waiting for an updated software from the producer I decided to use the current version to automatize the process and mount the drives connected to the Pogoplug and its cloud as if they were physically attached to my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. After a “classic” Google search on this topics I found different suggestions. Unfortunately I also had more than few problems to configure the software provided by Pogoplug because some tips were not so clear or easy as I desired. By my experience, the fastest and reliable way to configure Pogoplug drives on Ubuntu 12.04 is the following:....
