After only 2 days of intense work/playing (…) with the theme Fresh by iLEMONed, I completed my new theme, FreshApple.

What do you think about it?

P.S. Besides, I have updated Wordpress to 2.1. Speed improvement and few new features. Nothing else.

In English…
Download blog (where guys have ever nothing to do ) they have founded found* the blog of this dude, Stefanos Karagos, who have done a study about cerebral waves and their “syntony” with external sounds. Founding on this principle, he have composed an experimental audio file: a set of sounds which, based on our elevated frequency (don’t worry, no ultra-sounds!), stimulate our brain like a Cup of Coffè.

Infact, its name is CoffeReplacement!

A little tip: the mp3 file sucks in the firsts chunk. Download the “original” one (a rar file with a wave inside), then convert it with lame, like me.

In Italiano…
Su Download blog (dove non hanno mai niente da fare ) hanno trovato il blog di questo tizio, Stefanos Karagos, che ha fatto uno studio sulle onde cerebrali e sulla loro “sintonia” con i suoni esterni. Basandosi su questo principio ha composto un file audio sperimentale: un insieme di suoni che, in base alla loro elevata frequenza (non vi preoccupate, non sono ultrasuoni!), stimolano il cerebro come un Caffè.

Il suo nome è, infatti, CoffeReplacement!

Una piccola dritta: il file “mp3″ è difettoso dei primi chunk. Scaricate il file “originale” (un rar con dentro un wave), poi magari, come me, ve lo convertite con lame.

Second tip on lame:
lame -m s --verbose -h --vbr-new -V 0 -b 128 -B 192 -p CoffeeReplacement.wav

This web service software takes multiple word processor files (typically .doc) and converts them to OpenDocument and HTML.

Web Service receives .doc file and converts it to a Oasis OpenDocument 1.0 which can then be converted to HTML, RSS, or any XML format.

The resulting OpenDocument is then optionally converted to HTML or any XML. This is done with XML Pipelines, an approach that supports XSLT, breaking up content over headings or sections, and saving those results to multiple files (e.g., chapter1.html, chapter2.html…).

The result is returned in a .zip file.

The software is a PHP Script that expose a WS and a Web Interface, that help and symplify to reach its aim.

Mark Spencer, developer of many Open Source projects like Gaim and, obviously, Asterisk, and founder of Digium, shows us how much simple is to start a PBX with AsteriskNOW!.

I spoke about AsteriskNOW here, at the time of its presentation.
