I have something great to reveal!

Uimit de idee, tehnica si implementare. Atat. Cum de nu s-a auzit de el pana acum in Romania. Mai ales in campania electorala ar fi aparut mii de clone originale. Suedezii se pricep si pot, incat as plati si eu taxa de TV la ei 😛

Daca te plictisesti incarca-ti o poza (mi-am luat una nu prea reusita cu webcamul laptopului). Merita.

InternetCorp nu mai e un start-up

Dupa doi ani si jumatate de la momentul eJobs – Tiger Global Management, industria online din Romania este vedeta unei noi tranzactii de amploare, in conditiile unei piete de fuziuni si achizitii in suferinta: fondul de investitii 3TS Cisco Growth Fund a preluat un pachet minoritar din actiunile publisher-ului online InternetCorp.

Dupa concentrarea exclusiva pe consolidarea pozitiilor ocupate de principalele produse editoriale: Wall-Street, 9AM, Kudika si Garbo, urmeaza o perioada de dezvoltare inceputa cu relansarea in ultima saptamana a 2 proiecte foarte importante pentru strategia InternetCorp pe termen scurt si mediu – Envy.ro si Yuppy.ro“.

Evolutia spectaculoasa a InternetCorp din ultimii ani apartine exclusiv lui Mihai Seceleanu, partenerul si CEO-ul companiei, si echipei InternetCorp; “Ei merita toate laudele. Cunosc putine echipe la fel de motivate, la fel de focusate, la fel de unite”, considera Liviu Dumitrascu.

InternetCorp a relansat recent doua dintre produsele sale editoriale – ghidul de shopping Envy.ro si site-ul de lifestyle urban Yuppy.ro.

Din 18 noiembrie, Envy.ro a capatat un nou design si noi functionalitati. Concentrat pe facilitarea navigarii prin site, prin crearea de noi functionalitati interactive, s-a urmarit dezvoltarea comunitatii de shopping prin doua instrumente – unul care permite utilizatoarelor sa prezinte produsele recent achizitionate, iar celalalt ajutandu-le sa isi creeze online tinute pornind de la sutele de haine si accesorii recomandate pe site.  “S-a pus foarte mult accent pe functionalitate, pe navigare usoara, rapida, pe un look fashion, dar simplu, accesorizat minimalist si cu mult bun gust”, declara Andra Micu – project manager Envy.ro.

Yuppy.ro s-a relansat sub forma unui site cu un nou design mai aproape de web 2.0, cu o interfata prietenoasa cu ajutorul careia utilizatorul poate ajunge mai usor la orice tip de continut. “Conceptul “Young Urban Professionals” ramane in spatele intregului proiect care se preteaza acum acelorasi tineri, dar de ambele sexe, ce locuiesc intr-un mediul urban plin de activitati mondene.”, a declarat Iancu Radulescu.

Ce a facut Google pentru noi in ultimul timp

O prezentare de Matt Cutts despre ultimele lucruri facute pentru noi de Google in ultimul timp aratata la PubCon 2009:

Lista de depanare

O lista practica de depanare pentru orice developer sau calculatorist pasionat (în engleză, că-i programare :P):

  1. Is the filename extention right? Should it be .php instead of .html?
  2. You can get to the web site? Are you working in “off-line” mode?
  3. Make sure CapsLock is off. (Same for ScrollLock and NumLock)
  4. Is there a (invisible) CTRL-M at the end of each line in the text file?
  5. Does the text file end with a newline?
  6. Are both ends of the (power/network/video/etc.) cable plugged in?
  7. Did you unplug and re-plug in the cable to make sure its in right?
  8. Is the cable plugged into the right jack? (Some jacks look the same: AUI and video, Some Sun’s have a ‘stealth’ video jack that you aren’t supposed to use, etc.)
  9. “Did you get permission to run crack against that password file?” … “Is it in writing?”
  10. Is the user pressing RETURN when you think they are? (Are they pressing it at all?)
  11. Is the user typing a “/” or a “\”?
  12. Does the user know which is the lessthan and which is the greaterthan symbol?
  13. Is the screen paused via Ctrl-S? (press CTRL-Q to find out)
  14. Does your test gear test what you think it tests? What happens when you run the exact same test on a known-good and a known-bad element? Do you get the results you expect both ways?
  15. Does plugging a lamp into that outlet make it light up? (If you use a radio, be careful of radios with battery backups)
  16. Is the laptop running off battery? (therefore obscuring a power problem)
  17. Use cut-and-paste to copy that variable name (or URL, commmand line, etc.) to see if it was entered correctly.
  18. Check the file permissions.
  19. Check the environment variables (Use “strings” on the binary to find out what they really are supposed to be).
  20. It’s too easy to answer “yes” when asked, “Is it plugged in.” It’s better to ask them to power it off, then power it back on OR ask them to “check both ends of the power cable” OR ask them if the power light is on, off, or blinking. (and if it’s blinking… RUN!)
  21. Type it again (without using cut-and-paste) and see if you get the same results. (good way to find a typo)
  22. Is the default route set? Is the netmask set correctly?
  23. Traceroute from A to B. Traceroute B to A. Do they match up?
  24. Is someone else also at that IP address? (Unplug the network cable and ping the address)
  25. Are you really on the host you think you are?
  26. Is the program reading the last line of the file? Is it being processed right?
  27. Are you doing the test from the right machine? Would the test be more effective from a different machine?
  28. (firewall ruleset issues) If you move the machine to another IP address does it still happen? If you move the machine to a different subnet does it still happen? If you put a different machine at that IP address does it still happen? If you boot the same machine on a different OS (like a CD-ROM based Linux or FreeBSD) does it still happen?
  29. Does the same thing happen when you specify the IP address instead of the hostname? (Hint: the lmhost or /etc/hosts may be overriding)
  30. Is that a file, a directory, a hard link, a symbolic link, or a mountpoint?
  31. http://www.psc.edu/~mathis/MTU/index.html: Six classes of bugs limit network performance.
    • packet losses, corruption, congestion, bad hardware
    • IP Routing, long round trip times
    • Packet reordering
    • Inappropriate buffer space
    • Inappropriate packet sizes
    • Inefficient applications

    Any one of these problems can hide all other problems:

  32. Are the binaries really the ones you think are running? (Did you install in single user mode when /opt wasn’t mounted? Can you check the md5 or sha1 checksum vs. a machine that is running properly?)
  33. Is DNS configured right? Misconfigured DNS masks other problems and appears as bizarre problems that will send you looking everywhere except /etc/resolv.conf
  34. Is there a rogue DHCP server on the network messing with you?
  35. Is the device driver you’re trying to install for the device you actually have?
  36. Did you remember to check this list?

Peste putine nu am dat pana acum 🙂 De aici.

Apoteotic:
