Of course, most Solaris users are at an advanced level and those little nice things in a Linux console don’t matter that much. But I like to be more productive and enjoy using all the features I can get from a console. So here’s how I am customizing my Solaris console: 1. I am using […]

Cross-domain AJAXCross-domain AJAX

January 28, 2010

When using AJAX, there is a cross-domain security restriction that does not allow accessing an URL with a different domain than the one of the page that contains the script (the script’s domain).

For security reasons, I had to set all my server’s firewalls to accept connections on the SSH port (22) only from my office IP. I would have added my home IP addres in the access list, if it would have been static. But at home I have a dynamic IP so I can’t use IP-based […]

When building this site, I thought I should add some color to it. And because I am a fan of DeviantArt, I looked for a way of showing several images from there in the sidebar. I discovered, after some search, the plugin deviant-thumbs, which actually got updated to version 1.9.2. It works great – it […]

Hello world!Hello world!

November 6, 2009

Sau cum s-ar zice pe românește, ”Bine te-am gasit, lume!”. Știți cum iau naștere lucrurile – mici, neajutorate, nepricepute… La fel și acest site, micul meu blog și ”spațiu web”, care se dorește a fi o colecție de gânduri, lecții și evenimente – toate constituind o parte din ceea ce mă construiește pe mine, profesional și personal.
