Captain's log (English)

A scheduled maintenance on power lines has caused an unknown blocking effect on the Uninterruptible Power Supplies here, with a nasty alarm sound which forced to take back down everything for further intervention.
Precise causes can't be investigated because the Captain wasn't on board, and couldn't get back until the UPS's were (as flawlessly as unexpectedly) powered back on.
The systems were offline since June 8th, 10:45 CEST, until today June 10th, 21:20 CEST.

Da oggi gli ospiti hanno una scorciatoia per l'accesso veloce ai propri siti, grazie al provider dyns.cx.

Thanks to the dyns.cx provider, guest stars have a shortcut for a faster access to their sites.

The DYN.COM Internet provider are going to SHUT DOWN their free service. At some moment, the names rdo.is-a-geek.net and yashima.dyndns-server.com won't be anymore available on the Internet, thus affecting all collateral services like e-mail to this system's webmaster.

Il provider DYN.COM sta per SPEGNERE i propri servizi gratuiti. Percio', ad un certo punto il nome rdo.is-a-geek.net e il nome yashima.dyndns-server.com potranno non essere piu' raggiungibili sulla rete Internet, con effetti su tutti i servizi collegati come l'invio di posta al webmaster di questo sistema.

Finally, all videos are available like on Youtube(TM), by viewing them within the web site.

Was due to a boot glitch after a power spike from the cow cattlers around here (quite a usual phenomenon) has triggered a security switch, thus shutting down main power. It was early in the morning, Zulu time; so the main and backup UPS' were drained, too. Sorry, folks: even the captain has to sleep sometimes.

Everything is back from the previous site. Searchmash has gone the way of the dinosaur, so I added Wolfram Alpha (which is alive+kikkin').

Pictures from some... months ago.

Actually, the anniversary was May 19th. Not bad, as a tardis.

The basic idea is to make them easier to manage. The current setup takes advantage of the current TikiWiki features.

We changed everything to change nothing. Different hardware (a downgrade, actually), different software (Debian 5 + PHP 5 + MySQL 5 + Tiki 3.1), different architecture (after playing a lot with QEMU, this is a virtual machine). Even the theme is different.

Abbiamo cambiato tutto per non cambiare niente. Diverso hardware (un ridimensionamento, veramente), diverso software (Debian 5 + PHP 5 + MySQL 5 + Tiki 3.1), diversa architettura (dopo aver giocato un sacco con QEMU, questa e' una macchina virtuale). Anche l'aspetto grafico e' diverso.
