Current release / Versión actual: 0.7.3

This plug-in requires PHP 5 on your server

Please keep in mind that this plug-in uses geo-ip location information (GeoLite City) provided by MaxMind, which is limited to some extent, this means it will not track down your exact address (location of your IP number) but it will show the city your visitors are coming from which works just fine for me.
Por favor recuerda que este plug-in utiliza información para geo-localización (GeoLite City) gracias a MaxMind, la cual está limitada hasta cierto punto, esto significa que no es capaz de detectar tu dirección exacta en base a la IP, pero si es capaz de mostrar la ciudad de donde vienen las visitas, lo cual funciona muy bien para mi.

GeoLite City is similar to the GeoIP City database, but is less accurate. Should you require greater accuracy, GeoIP City is a drop-in replacement for GeoLite City. GeoLite City is an ideal cost-effective solution, since it is more accurate than many other commercial geolocation solutions.

The free version -which this plug-in uses- gets updated each month, so I will update the plug-in as well -at least each month- so you can have the latest IP information.
La versión gratuita -la cual utiliza este plug-in- es actualizada cada mes, de modo que actualizaré -al menos cada mes- el plug-in para que puedas tener la información más reciente.

Do you like what this plug in can do?
¿Te parece bueno lo que hace este plug-in?


;)

Got a cool plug-in idea? Let me know and if it’s cool enough I’ll write it.
¿Tienes una buena idea para un plug-in? Dímelo y si es buena yo lo escribo.

¿Hemos visto anuncios?

La verdad es que si. Más de uno ya se habrá preguntado que pasa con los anuncios que se empiezan a ver en algunos lugares de este sitio, en todos los casos en el pie de página y en algunos otros casos dentro de las publicaciones en si. En realidad no soy mucho una persona a la que le guste la publicidad y de algún modo incluso va en contra de la idea general de este sitio, pero hay una cosa que está clara y que está clara para todos: hay gastos que pagar.

Como en todo lado hay gastos que hay que cubrir: mantenimiento del sitio, almacenamiento del mismo, etc., etc., etc., y todo eso no se paga solo con las visitas, bueno en teoría si y para eso los anuncios.

He procurado darles la mejor integración posible, en cuanto a diseño y posicionamiento. Hay -básicamente- dos tamaños que aparecerán variablemente de página en página. Los más pequeños para esas páginas con entradas pequeñas en las que no hay mucho texto y un tipo un poco más grande para las páginas en las que haya mucho texto. Además he procurado siempre filtrar un poco los anuncios de modo que vayan -en la medida de lo posible- relacionados con el texto.

Espero -entonces- que no sean causa de mucha molestia, problema y/o confusión y en caso de que así sea (siempre y cuando varios lectores reporten problemas) los quitaré inmediatamente y en tal caso buscaré otro medio de sustento para esta página, pudiendo considerar -por ejemplo- donaciones.

Mappeo.com has been dropped

The mappeo.com project has been dropped due to lack of time and I’ve decided to release the code under GNU/GPL licence and it’s free for download.

The code is not complete but it’s at a very advanced stage and you shall quickly grasp the go-along of it.

Requires:

  • PHP 5 (With GD enabled)
  • MySQL 5+
  • A browser with JS enabled and AJAX support
  • Apache webserver (With mod_rewrite enabled)
  • A Google API key

EU upholds $690m Microsoft fine

All comments or opinions posted in this blog are merely exclusive opinions of the author.

We are talking about more than half a billion bucks. Why are there no lawsuits against Google? They are doing exactly the same!

What I just stated about the amount of money is not really what I worry about, Bill Gate’s company has enough money to pay that, I’m worried about the amounts that are being pushed, with that much money they could easily feed an entire nation for quite a while. And finally: where does all that money go?

Microsoft, the US software company, has lost an appeal against a $690m European Union fine and ruling that it engaged in anti-competitive practices.

The EU’s second-highest court dismissed the appeal against the ruling on all but one count.

The fine is believed to be the largest ever to be levied by EU regulators.

“The Court of First Instance essentially upholds the commission’s decision finding that Microsoft abused its dominant position,” it said in its ruling, delivered in Luxembourg.

Most out of your PC with Google?

All comments or opinions posted in this blog are merely exclusive opinions of the author.

Here we go again, Google strikes one more time (as it’s been doing for quite a while now)

They have this “Google pack” and really pretend you to believe it will make your computer run faster or get more out of the web, it might be OK for some novel users, the ones who don’t have a clue of mostly every single click they do, but come on, will it really fool the moderate user?

They have included fancy stuff like “Google Earth”, IE toolbar, Picassa (which is not that bad I must admit), and many more. Now, here’s the deal:

  • Software specifically selected by Google – Of course it has been selected by Google, what did you expect?, have a guy from RedHat do the job?
  • Always free – no trial versions or spyware – Yeah right!, they only want to get into your life, your computer. Make you dependable of their services.
  • Ready to use in just a few clicks – Usual Google phrase, in the end it will take as much as a regular install, after all you’re installing real software. They don’t know how to make magic yet, and their fancy AJAX applications aren’t the whole world either.

By the way, it’s just my personal opinion.

Google datacenter?

Well, I guess the image speaks for itself. I believe they are quite a monopoly like Microsoft was (according to some allegations) some years ago, but since Google is more of a “freak” thing/enterprise on one says a damn thing.
