February 27, 2010 No comments

It happened with the upgrade (upgrade) to version 2.9.1 and now with 2.9.2. After the upgrade we found ourselves with the site totally broken, even the administrative part.

The problem then is it due?

First out of laziness and carry out the aggiornamneto according to the indications given by WordPress.org prompting to deactivate all the themes and plugins configured on your site.

Specifically, however, this problem is given by the activation of the plugin that MyGallery not find two files generates this dreadful problem. Files indicted are:


In fact, reading the code of the plugin can be observed:


Upgrade Wordpress


So you do not need is included in the folder wp-includes the site in question and the two files streams.php gettext.php and everything will magically work!

Greetings to all!

iPhone 'jailbreak or not to jailbreak? "

January 19, 2010 2 comments

Here is the question that haunts many users struggling with the infamous iPhone, to unlock (jailbreak) or not?
What are actually the advantages and disadvantages of this choice?

I do not want to dwell here in explaining what is ascertained in the operation of jailbreak, but I want to list only briefly, from my point of view, the advantages and disadvantages of such a choice.

Benefits

  • Add Cydia (an alternative to the App store)
  • Access via SSH to the device (use the iPhone as a hard disk drive into which you can load the files via ssh fact)
  • SBSettings (Cydia) that would set quick set menus for frequently used functions (on / off services such as wifi, bluetooth, 3G, etc ...)
  • Ability to synchronize applications (IPA) downloaded from the internet via iTunes (the operation is legal, so is everyone the choice to operate more or less legally with your device)
  • Clear the blockage bluetooth for data transfer via the upcoming release of iBlueNove (ex iBluetooth) of MeDevil
  • Put a firewall (blacklist) for the management of calls / sms / mms incoming
  • Add useful features to native applications such as SMS Helper (displays a count of characters entered in the process of writing a SMS)
  • Change the 'APN of your phone provider to not run into unwanted charges on its rechargeable


Disadvantages

  • For 3Gs with new iBoot, inability to restart the iPhone without having to jailbreak again using blackra1n
  • Reduction of battery performance (but not too wisely if you use additional services such as SSH, etc ...)
  • I can not think of much more ...

Bancopopolare and the certificate at Home Banking (byWeb) on Mac (Safari)

December 16, 2009 3 comments

The banks of Gruppo Banco Popolare, Banca Popolare di Novara at least, need to use the service byWeb, or at Home Banking, installation of a certificate (format. P12).

No problem for users on Windows with Internet Explorer and / or Firefox nor for Linux and Mac users who wish to use Firefox (which includes the installation of the certificate directly into your browser) ... some more problems for Mac users who wish to use Safari.

No alarm, with the correct configuration in a few minutes you will bypass the problem by following the steps set forth below:

  • Download the certificate to your desktop from https://certificato.bancopopolare.it/ in a folder to your liking
  • Completely close Safari (Command + Q)
  • Open the file with the application of the system Keychain (just make a double mouse click on the downloaded file and it will open automatically)
  • Enter the password for certificate authentication (the same one that is used to download the same)
  • Select the certificate in the Keychain and click on the top item in the archive (here in the image file), and then click the Preference submenu new identity ... (in English here New Identity Preference)
  • Enter the link https://web.bancopopolare.it:443 (important to write correctly as shown here) and click Add
  • Open Safari and go at https://web.bancopopolare.it:443


I leave you to the pictures to understand even better (and visually) the above procedure ...


Happy surfing to all!

Ps if you were still having problems, try to add also https://web.bancopopolare.it:443/ (including /) final!

PPS: If you fail again ... trust in Firefox that independently manages the certificates.
In this case just open the Firefox Preferences and go to Advanced, and then under Show select Encryption certificates and then import the certificate downloaded.


VMWare Fusion 3.0 and the "file association" unintuitive ...

October 29, 2009 No comments

VMWare has finally released the long-awaited new version of Fusion , came to 3.0, bringing many new features that finally make it one of the best virtualization software within the Mac

One of the biggest gaps I've always complained in Fusion was a lack in the ability to open files with a virtualized Windows application directly from Finderl (Ex: open an XLS file directly from the Finder and make it opened with Microsoft Excel 2007 virtualized ). This is in fact a file association, or associate extensions with a program of your choice.

Despite the efforts of VMWare, you still can not do this by default with Fusion, but with some little ingenuity you can not work around the problem.

  1. Position the Finder on the folder where your Virtual Machine (Windows for instance);
  2. Click with the right mouse button on VM (Virtual Machine) and select "Show Package Contents" (Show Package Contents);
  3. At this point you open a new window is located inside the folder "Applications" in which there are installed applications in a Windows environment;
  4. Open another Finder and navigate to the / Applications folder of Mac and create a new folder called (for example) "Windows Applications";
  5. Copy into the applications (the Applications folder in the VM that you want to be indexed by Spotlight as native applications on Mac;
  6. Select a file with the extension you want to associate an application to Windows right click and choose "Get Info"
  7. Select the "Open With" and then "Other" (Open With - Other)
  8. At this point, choose the application you want to associate the file extension. You can find it easily in Windows Applications folder that you created previously in step 4!
  9. Give OK and click "Change All" ("Change All" smileys . From now on it will open Fusion and its application when you open a file with the extension.



Now some screenshots to better follow the instructions:



Have fun and good virtualization at all!

'm Going to write about after a month of absence from the last article written on this site ... lots of new personal and non!

Point out that the absence was not caused by August holidays (unfortunately totally absent this year) since (and here the main novelty consists staff) I changed finally able to land work in banking (Banca Popolare di Novara).

But during this absence there are also been many innovations in the computer world, since the launch of Snow Leopard which I am fully satisfied: a few new frills and a lot more stability and speed! The new feline proves to be much more mature than being Leopard debut (and unfortunately also in later versions). The argument of the 32bit vs 64bit, the advent of QuicktimeX, the disappearance of Rosetta and much more in a cat that really roars!

In addition, new features in WordPress which is now at version 2.8.4 with changes "under the hood", Microsoft Office for Mac Service Pack 2 (12.2.1)

And now you expect the upcoming release of firmware 3.1 for the iPhone (with great hope that the management of the battery is more efficient), and its battle between Apple and with DevTeam Jailbreak, Ultrasn0w and PwnageTool!

We hope for many other beautiful new personal and not for the last quarter of the year!
