The safe, expandable Drobo™ storage solution protects your data against a hard drive crash, yet can expand dynamically at any time in just seconds. With nothing to configure or manage, Drobo is now the ideal solution for primary storage as well as backup.
We have bought one and plugged to our Mac mini to hold all our code and docs. I was going to write about how it works a little more but… a video is much better!
This week I configured a new server: Our Darth Potato mini-server.
I’m setting up some instances of Trac to manage all our projects. I hope that we could start using it right now with some minor issues and make the most of it from next September with new projects.
Course is over and all students taught by my Ludo have presented their final projects. Congratulations! You all made a great job, I’m glad to have been working with you last months.
It has been a great trip. People from Peñaranda de Bracamonte and specially people from CITA (Centro Internacional de Tecnologías Avanzadas) have been so warm and friendly.
My boss mislead me to teach a course about Moodle development, so tomorrow evening I’m getting a train to Madrid. I’ll be out few days but I’ll upload all stuff (slides, code, etc) to this blog ASAP. My speech is on Wednesday, today is Monday, I haven’t started preparing it, poker game tonight, mmmm…. yes, ASAP.
I’m going to explain most relevant Moodle libreries, such weblib.php or dmllib.php, modules architechture, XMLDB and capabilities. I’m going to use newmodule to make an introduction and our Social Bookmarking activity as a case of study. I supose I’m going to replace some lines of code by TODOS and ask to the public to fill the gaps.
I’ve been very busy last weeks preparing my exams so this blog has been a little bit “unattended”. Last Friday I released a new version of our Moodle Social Bookmarking Activity and I hadn’t time to say it to anybody, neither to my boss. (Hello, Marc!! I’m at my office. Where are you? On holidays??? )
Today I spent few minutes fixing some bugs of our social bookmarking module for Moodle.
I packed all code in a zip file that you can download from Morfeo.
I seize the opportunity to explain one trick about this module. You can enable link preview using websnapr. I included some javascripts in our package that you can configure in a minute.
You only need to get a developer key from websnapr web site and insert it into /mod/bookmarks/preview/previewbubble.js.
var developerKey = 'your developer key';
Our activity looks cool with this script. Thank you guys from websnapr for let us using it, you are doing a great work.
I have a problem: I don’t have enough mp3’s in my laptop. I use to listen music while I’m programing and I’m getting bored of them. So during last 3 or 4 months I’ve been listening music from youtube or last.fm.
Less than a month was enough to me to realize that I was losing too much time every day choosing next song so I tried something longer, I listening conferences and speeches.
This time I dedicate this post to David and Ferran (DFWiki creators) who are designing and developing the new Moodle API and Webservices.
Here is a YouTube video from a Google TechTalk about designing APIs. Joshua Bloch is the speaker, the Principal Engineer at Google. He also led the design of numerous Java platform features as Java Collections Framework, java.math package and the assert mechanism. This guy knows about what is talking about…..
