God bless all of us… I can’t find any words to describe my mood. He is a real hero. Anyone who loves life is a real hero.

SourceForge Web Hosting Account Changed

Friday, September 26th, 2008

A few days ago I found that I could’t login to my SourceForge web hosting with SFTP. I thought the SourceForge broke down and I sent a feedback to the support team. But unfortunately, no replies. And many other project administrators report this problem.

Yesterday I read the site documents and finally I knew why. SourceForge changed the site documents and said the account of SFTP had been changed. Now the account username is “USERNAME,PROJECT-UNIX-NAME” and the host name is “web.sourceforge.net”. For example, my project unix name is “gchart” and my username on SourceForge is “ggggqqqqihc”, therefore, I need to use “ggggqqqqihc,gchart” as the SFTP username.

You can use Filezilla to login the SourceForge web hosting.

Site Changed

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

I changed this blog directory today. At first, the blog address is http://programmingnote.com/ and today I moved it to “blog” directory. So now its new address is http://programmingnote.com/blog. The reason I did it is that I want to install some scripts on this site. If the blog (WordPress) is installed in the root directory, managing files is not an easy work. So I decided to move the WordPress blog to a new sub-directory.

The homepage, http://programmingnote.com is very clean and simple. I added a Google custom search to the homepage. You can use it to search all my articles from this blog, Deepblue Spaces and some other sites.

I am Going to Learn Python

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

A few days ago I knew Google App Engine. A free service for hosting your own web application. App Engine uses the server farm of Google. So I think it is very stable and safe. However, up to now App Engine only support Python language. I knew a little about Python several years ago, but at that time I am not very interested in it. Last month I made a survey, most of people think that Python is the most interesting programming language. I believe it is true.

Although it is said that Google App Engine may support PHP and other languages. I don’t want to wait until the day comes. If I start to learn Python, after some days I can play with App Engine. I wish Python would give me more nice feelings.

WordPress is Not Suitable for Newbies

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

There is no doubt that WordPress is one of the most powerful blogging tools. It supports many themes and plugins which can make your weblog look like different. However, it is difficult to find a very suitable theme or plugin for you. (more…)

If You are a Linux Fan…

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

I have been working with Linux for about four months. But for some reasons, I have to go back to Windows. When I saw the interface, I felt a little unaccustomed. (more…)

New Site

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

This is my first post on my new site – www.programmingnote.com. I choose this domain name because I like programming and like to write something about programming. Of cource, the best domain name may be www.programmingnotes.com (has a letter ’s’) but it has been used. So remember my site’s domain name is single form “note” instead of the plural form “notes”.

I chose WordPress as the content management system, since WordPress is very popular in blog sphere and there are many plugins to extend its functions. In addition, I plan to add a wiki, if necessary. I think wiki is fit for writing something about specific topics.

Also, I added Adsense. It can help me earn money, although the amount is very little. It will encourage me to write better contents.

My previous blog is Deepblue Spaces which is hosted by Blogger.com. Blogger is excellent but it is not fit for paste code. As a blog concerning on programming, code highlight support is very important. So WordPress is very fit for that. By the way, the previous isn’t dead and I will still update it.
