Opendns, Google Dns or ISP ?

Aug 172010

In recent years we heard most often about using alternate DNS to those provided by your ISP.

But why not use your ISP’s DNS in theory it should be as fast as possible since there are fewer network hops to reach it, but the alternate DNS, provide additional services (such domains are known to report scams) are redundant worldwide and therefore offer greater stability.

Among the many DNS providers the best known are undoubtedly Opendns and Google Dns, the first is historically the market leader, offers additional services for a fee or the possibility of using their DNS servers for free, for some years I’ve used with satisfaction this service.

Original article- LinuxCon Day 3: Now Get Out There and Do Something!

At the end of a conference, most people have two feelings. The first is a feeling of wanting to get out there and do something. After last year’s LinuxCon, especially after listening to Noah Broadwater of Sesame Workshop, I wanted to go back to my office, take a chainsaw to my IIS installations, and tear out my Sharepoint system. But I am pretty sure that feeling is felt by many of us on a daily basis without attending LinuxCon.

Take your notes on the Cloud

cloud

Working with 3 computers that run 5 operating systems, I often get bits of information found only on a single PC, a url that I bookmarked for a very useful site, or a TXT file used to take a quick note (the equivalent of a post-it on the monitor).

When I had to move information from one PC to another, I usually sent myself a note via email–not so comfortable, in fact. But while I was installing the new Ubuntu 10.04, something enlightened me: “Ubuntu One.“ Canonical started his project for a personal space on the clouds where you can store files, take notes, store your contacts or bookmarks, or just read. I thought, “Finally, I can solve my problem,” and so I discovered Tomboy.

In Forrester analyst Jeffrey Hammond’s keynote today at LinuxCon he outlined the trends of OSS adoption in the enterprise. (You can download the slides here.) According to Hammond, open source software has crossed the chasm and is firmly entrenched in enterprises around the world. That wasn’t a surprise to the 800 people in the LinuxCon audience. But his data did uncover something interesting: IT operations people are choosing Linux not just to lower costs but also to fuel innovation and support growth.

WordPress + Twitter + Qtranslate =?

I have followed the same steps described in my article on how to publish new WordPress posts on my Facebook Page via twitter, and following the publication of the “Info” page I found this on Twitter:

 <!--:it-->Info<!--:--><!--:en-->Info<!--:--> http://is.gd/e98rO #fb

Everything worked … but, I forgot qTranslate was installed to manage the two languages of the blog.

I was already thinking that this would have cost me a lot of time when I found this very useful post “Tuning Tools for Twitter to Work With Multilingual WordPress Blogs using qTranslate.”

So looking at the code, I found in Twitcategory the corresponding piece of code change:

twitcategory.php Line 303

$proto = str_replace( "[title]", $post->post_title, $proto );

With (changes in red)

$proto = str_replace( "[title]", __($post->post_title), $proto );

This will activate the function gettext, which will publish the title in the language selected as default (in my case Italian).
