Agent Lisa © ™ $ and so on and so forth ...

19 / 03 / 2009 · No comment ·

I'm tired and I'm also a bit 'controversial, read the news about a new service offered by the Police:

Agent Lisa is not a person in flesh and blood, but it could become a valuable aid for anyone looking for information on issue or renewal of a passport or how to go abroad outside the European Union.

So far I would say all ok, no?

Back in Time: a simple backup system!

13 / 03 / 2009 · No comment ·

"Back in Time" is the name of a handy application for backing up your files, working on both GNOME and KDE.
It is based on three tools already known and well established: rsync to create backup images and restore; diff to see if any files changed since the last backup; cp to create the hardlink.

Latest news from France reported that the French government saved (for those who do not know, but it has saved and these days it never hurts) about 50 million € in 2004 migrating to open-source software, and since 2007 by Windows XP to GNU / Linux Ubuntu.

Nick colored and shaded in emesene

9 / 03 / 2009 · No comment ·

Tired of nicknames of your friends full of [c = 50] [a = 23] blablabla ^^^~~~()|"/*-+[/ a] [/ c], etc. ... and want to see them finally colored?

Pending the development of aMSN or emesene2 (I have not understood if they remain two separate projects or not, but Oh well) will end at the time that I think best solution is to install emesene with appropriate plugin.
