New Theme: DePo Square
Today we’re bringing you yet another theme designed by Derek Powazek: DePo Square.
This theme looks great! Minimal, simple, yet unique. But, it doesn’t stop with great design. This theme comes with a seriously cool feature: post types.
Map your categories to one of five pre-defined post types — Post (default), Status, Quote, Link, or Photo — and your content will be displayed in a format special to those types.
Just select your category mappings by visiting the “Current Theme Options” under “Appearance.” No CSS or other formatting is necessary. However, if you have the CSS Upgrade you can definitely tweak those styles to your heart’s content.
You can set your widgets at the top of your blog, including special widgets just for your statuses and Flickr stream. The DePo Square Flickr Widget is formatted just right for this design.

Cesarius Revolutions empezó como un blog personal donde guardaba tutoriales para consultarlos posteriormente y que con el paso de los años se ha convertido en una gran comunidad de lectores que lo siguen, por esta razón he querido hacer del sitio un lugar más interactivo donde podamos hacer uso de las herramientas sociales actuales. Pueden [...]Imaginative CSS
I’m constantly finding sites on WordPress.com that leave me happily surprised. I ran across Wir sprechen Online a few weeks ago and just kept coming back to it. For both the content and the design.
Wir sprechen Online is a P2 powered blog written in both German and English with content ranging from tech tid-bits to personal posts. Aside from the great content, I love how the site has taken advantage of the CSS Upgrade. The customized header, tweaked colors, and other nice little edits have really given the page a face of its own. It never fails to impress me what a little CSS can do – a little goes a long way.
Quien esta conectado a mi linux | Quick tip
Este es un tip para poder saber quien o quienes estan loggeados en nuestros sistemas linux ya sea via ssh, o via consola fisica.
Con el comando “w” podemos ver quien o quienes anda por ahi

The Image Widget, Plus News from Support
Last month, the Support team (also known as Happiness Engineers) got together to brainstorm new ways of providing you with the features and resources you need.
Out of that meetup came a number of improvements and features, like the RSS Links Widget, introduced earlier this month. Another is the Image Widget, launching today.
In the past, it was necessary to use HTML in a text widget to display images in your sidebar. Now all you have to do is plop a URL in the image widget. The rest is done for you. If you’d like to set a title, alternate text, and image size, it’ll do that, too.
And there’s more cool stuff coming your way:
We’ve made some improvements to the Support contact form, and a better search for Support is in the works. We’ve made some internal changes, too, that will help our growing team answer your questions even more efficiently.
There’s now a Hugs page to display some of the positive feedback we receive from those of you who write in to Support. It brightens our day to hear that we’ve helped out, so we’re sharing a bit of that love. 
Maybe most excitingly, we’re going to start providing Support in other languages — a much-requested feature. The first of these will be French, with several others to follow. We’ll post announcements here when each is launched.
Custom CSS Revisions
Customizing your theme just got easier! The Custom CSS Upgrade now provides the ability to save revisions of your code and uses the same engine that WordPress uses for post revisions.
If you currently have the CSS upgrade, you can see this in action by logging in to your WordPress admin and going to Appearance->Edit CSS. Click the “Save Stylesheet” button. You should now see the Post Revisions box below the preview and save buttons. Note: the revisions box will appear on the CSS editing screen only after you have saved at least one revision of the CSS.
If you click on one of the links in the CSS Revisions box, you will be able to visually compare different versions of your CSS.
If you’ve ever considered the CSS upgrade, now’s a great time to take the leap. With this new CSS revisions feature, you’ll be able to make changes to the look of your theme without worrying about losing earlier versions, and can see how CSS changes will affect your blog’s appearance. To get the upgrade and start editing your theme’s CSS today, just log in to your WordPress.com Dashboard and click on Upgrades in the upper left menu.

Tucan Manager
Recientemente hablamos de JDownloader, una aplicación buenísima como gestor de descargas, pero hoy comentaremos Tucan Manager, que tambien es una gran aplicación, he aquí las caracteristicas:
- Soporte para los principales servicios. Megaupload, Rapidshare, Gigasize…
- Modular. Extensible con plugins para soportar futuros servicios.
- Subida y descarga de usuarios premium.
- Subida y descarga de usuarios anónimos, mediante el reconocimiento de “captchas” si fuera necesario y automatizando la espera.
- Multiples descargas simultaneas, pudiendose usar links intercambiables.
Pero hay dos cosas que para mí son ventajas con respecto a JDownloader, una es que es mucho mas ligero (96 kib) y la segunda es que por estar escrito completamente en Python, se acomoda perfectamente a tu escritorio de GNOME. Para instalarlo, solo descargamos este paquete desde GetDeb y luego lo instalas, así de facil, bueno dejo algunas capturas.

Compartir carpeta mediante http en Ubuntu
Este mini tutorial me ha sacado de apuros muchas veces, es acerca de como compartir una carpeta a los equipos que estan en la red de forma rapida y sumamente sencilla via http utilizando python, lo primero es abrir una terminal y ubicarnos en la carpeta que queremos compartir y luego ejecutar SimpleHTTPServer, como lo muestro a continuación:
cd /home/armando/Música python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Con esto nos mostrara un mensaje y pondra disponible los recursos (carpeta y su contenido), para que puedan acceder desde otros equipos a la carpeta compartida digitando en el navegador : http://192.168.1.3:8000, (depende de la dirección IP del equipo en donde se estan compartiendo la carpeta. muy facil y rapido verdad? les dejo un par de imagenes.
