TheDarkMaster needs your help: I lost the Art Of Cappuccino Theme!

Update: Finally all of the files are back again! Thanks to everyone who helped! The Art Of Cappuccino theme is finally completely back online!

Update: To help, you can also please DIGG this page so that many more people can read it! So, if you don’t have the theme and would like to have it, you can help at list digging, please do it!

Help. Incredible to say, I migrated some time ago my taekwondopavia server from Windows host to Linux host because I’d like to switch to Word Press as soon as possible… I didn’t know it but the migration didn’t include the backup of all contents, therefore I pratically lost all the files hosted in there… and Art Of Cappuccino was a set of those files

I don’t understand why, but I cannot find the theme in my own computer. I cannot put it online again. I don’t even have the theme for personal use anymore! I need it. I lost a huge amount of time creating that theme and now it’s gone… but there has been tons of downloads! I’m sure there are a lot of people out there with the packages on their computers!! So, please, I beg you, help me, send me back my theme so that I can put it online again… I also need to create an Enlightenment edition of AOC and without all of the files contained in the theme I can’t do it…

Now, I’ll post here a list with all of the files of AOC I previously released and now lost.. All of the files in the list are in red when I don’t yet have them. The files somebody sent me back, so the files I have again, will be in GREEN. You can come and check the list here, so that you can avoid sending me files I already own

Thank you very much for the help you’ll surely give me, as always, my email is: luca dot darkmaster at gmail dot com.

Good signs on the release of Enlightenment DR17 (E17)

Finally, another good sign on the possible release of E17 is out there. In this Wiki Page you can have a look on what needs to be completed / fixed before E17 can finally be released as a stable code. This list is not completed yet. This doesn’t mean it will be released any time soon, it just mean that maybe the developers realized it’s time to get serious, stop adding and modifying things without a limit and get concentrated on what’s next, what’s missing… something I was already doing on my small little own with OpenGEU.

This means that, as you can read from the page, there will be, maybe soon, a final date on which no more addition to the list will be allowed. Once all of those points in the list are released and finalized, E17 will finally come to life. While I know that one day it will be completed, I strongly believe that showing off a limit and a list on what’s to be done (and it can be seen as a guide on what to do if you wish to see E17 released soon) is a big step forward for the neverending development of Enlightenment DR17.

So, if you are a coder and if you are interested in the Enlightenment project, please read that page, subscribe to the Enlightenment mailing list and help the project, code what’s missing. I hope, I really hope, this could really be a milestone in E17 development: get serious, people. Let’s complete this project. Now we can finally know where our efforts on bringing a stable E17 are to be concentrated. Let’s do it

Mega guida per assoluti principianti di IPhone

Premesso che tempo fa spiegai come in Italia l’iPhone sia stato allegramente affossato nelle sue complete potenzialità, va comunque detto che se si hanno i soldi per comprarlo e per un Vodafone Pack base (io ho una ricaricabile e con 3 euro a settimana ho 500 mega a settimana, che sono pochi comunque ma quanto meno mi permettono di divertirmi abbastanza con il mio iPhone) e se si installano i giusti software per sfruttare al meglio le reti wi-fi, l’I-Phone è senza dubbio il più fantastico Pocket PC, di misura, che si sia mai visto sulla faccia della terra.

Dal momento che ora lo possiedo me ne posso rendere conto, ma ho prima dovuto passare per l’ennesimo Pocket PC che prometteva di essere migliore dell’IPhone a parità di prezzo per rendermene definitivamente conto: l’iPhone è rivoluzionario sotto tutti i punti di vista (meno la fotocamera). Vediamo perchè e vediamo come fare per sfruttarlo al massimo (altrimenti è davvero una semi-schifezza).

Strega Comanda Colore Website

Strega Comanda Colore

Hallo everyone, here’s another of my works! This website is dedicated to a very cool Bed and Breackfast in Gallipoli, Lecce, here in Italy (Gallipoli’s my birth city by the way)!

The goal was that of creating something able of expressing all of the magic in that B&B. It is a wonderful place, filled with colors and art, emotions, life. Every chanber is different from the others, each one is colored in a different way and all of the walls and everyday fernitures (Chairs, tables, etc.) are specially designed, painted and decored. That’s the meaning of the name too: “Strega Comanda Colore” is a game for children here in Italy, it means something like “Witch Commanding Color”… the all place is magic and filled with color

A really different reality and I was asked to design something nocturne able of transmitting all of these feelings. I hope I made it, what do you think?

IPhone affossato: viva l’Italia, come al solito…

Questo post per ovvie ragioni sarà in Italiano, visto che si parla dell’Iphone in Italia. Io avrei voluto comprarlo, le capacità internet di Iphone sono pazzesche, pensate che il traffico internet generato da IPhone in tutto il mondo supera quello di qualunque altro sitema operativo mobile, compreso lo schifoso ed inutilizzabile Windows Mobile. Addirittura, se paragonato a tutti i sistemi operativi esistenti, l’OSX di Iphone è al quarto posto, dopo WIndows, Mac e Linux. Una cosa mostruosa insomma.

How to create / manipulate a .deb file of a compiled application

First of all, as I mentioned in the title, this post is about how to create or manipulate deb files of an already compiled application. In this topic I’m not going to explain you how to create a deb starting from source code

I’ll try to give you every possible indication in this article, if you miss some information but find the article interesting, please comment and ask me how to make things I failed to explain.

Not going to tell you what a .deb file is and what it is for, but you should really know that a deb is just a common archive in an .ar format, camouflaged with another name. So, right clicking on the deb file and choosing to open it with a common compressed files manager (such as file roller in gnome and OpenGEU) will work and show you the contents of the file. Now, you can modify an already existent deb file or create one from scratch. Should you prefer the second option, don’t be scared, it really is a simple task.

Leonardo’s and Ulteo’s Logos…

I think you all know of the interesting Linux Distribution Ulteo, crated by the Mandrake Linux creator Gael Duval (who has been fired some years ago by the Mandriva Corporation, started and created by himself…)
some years ago.. well, here’s the Ulteo Logo:

Now, I used to have an email account in www.email.it and to have access to is I now have to log to leonardo.it but, hey, what a surprise… look at their logo:

Uhm…. do you notice any similarity at all? C’mon Luca, you’ll say, you’re too malicious… am I?

Opens the OpenGEU Blog

I delayed this new quite a bit but here it is, in the end the OpenGEU Blog. What is it? Quoting the site itself,

a new place were you will find a lot of news, articles, guides, rumors and a lot of interesting and cool informations, media, videos and other things about the E17, Gnome and OpenGEU world!

Visit it often, we’ll try to keep the Blog as much updated as possible. See the Legal page for informations about pictures, marks and media contained in this site.

I hope someone will help me mantaining it with fresh news, I’ll do what I can about it but the idea should be that of posting ever more interesting news about not only OpenGEU but the entire Enlightenment DR17 world

In reality, it is online since a lot of time now but I couldn’t update it, so I decided not to spread the news

Hope you’ll enjoy it.

Vota per il software libero: Elezioni 2008 intelligenti

Opens MyPaint’s Website :)

Hallo everyone, this is the new MyPaint Website created and managed by me

There’s not much webdesign here, I just developed the header and header Picture, the rest of the theme is a wonderful RockingSuckerfish theme by  Rocking themes.

To what’s so special with this application, just download and try it. It finally gives us some hopes in the Painting Simulation Scenary for Linux and OpenSource in general. I love ArtRage for example but I don’t use it much because even if it is cheap, it is always proprietary so it is more a matter of ethics than anything else… then ArtRage needs Wine to run properly in linux since it is a Windows application… sure, myPaint is not yet at the high level of ArtRage but at least it is opensource and it is exactly yo make it become better and better in less time that I’m trying to push for its adoption and use

So please download it, use it and support it in any way!!! Visit the forums, donate to the project, money, code anything. The prospective of having a finally nice looking and working Painting Apllication for Linux is really too much to be ignored.
