How to extract data from the iPhone's AddressBook
This is a problem that I had once I got my iPhone's broken and it took me a bit to figure out how to solve it. Indeed I didn't know how to read a sqlite database, but Google helped me a lot and I found the right syntax.
The nightmare of the iPhone's GPS
As many people may know, jailbreaking the iDevice is really cool but you're likely to encounter some problems if you are unlucky. Well, I am unlucky. And the location service of my iPhone stopped working after a jailbreak. After hours of goooogling I finally came up with a solution/fix that did not need me to restore (yeeeaaapppp!).
Do-It-Yourself multitouch table
This is just a page in which I wanted to write down some links about the argument.
Funny Wiimote projects
There's nothing to add to what I have not said, you'll find everything on the net.. Plenty of tutorials, howtos, etc.
A list of lovely Debian packages
Some packages a newly installed Debian system just can't miss. Well.. at least these are some of the packages I use/like! However, they are command-line tools, since I'm not used to work on a complete graphical environment: ever heard about the kernel framebuffer?!
Some firewalling tips and hints
Have a look at these command and rules, they should be part of your server configuration to get a minimum security.
Linux/Debian hardening
There are no guarantees for what's here. Anyway, I strongly invite you to perform these passages and check every point in order to gain a minimal security on your linux system! If you need more, get the Securing Debian Manual or look on Google for another even better one (i.e. referring to your distribution if you don't use Debian).
Debian afterboot checklist
What not to forget to do after installing a plain Debian base system, to get it reasonably clean and secure. This list doesn't not pretent to be complete. Following the order of the items is a good idea. This list is good for me, YMMV.
Getting CUDA on your linux system
NVIDIA© has developed the CUDA™ technology; it is a C language environment through which programmers and developers can "program applications software to solve the most challenging computational problems reducing the time used by the extraordinary power of parallel processing multi-core GPU substantially. But.. how to install CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) packages on our Linux system?
Securing Apache and PHP
By default Apache webserver and PHP (that is great but really dangerous) are not totally secure. I'm not going to tell you how your server will gain the supercow powers since there is no such thing as totally secure servers; it doesn't matter what you need to harden your machine security, don't think you are safe only because you are not personally involved in any shits with hackers. Your server and you are the target even you're hosting a stupid personal website which shouldn't be interesting for such evil people. I'm just writing down a bunch of tips/passages I consider to be needed.
