Yesterday I’ve decided to update my site and significant changes are:
Do you like it? Comment!
When you edit a file with vim, it’s useful understand where the line ends especially if there are spaces at the end of the line. Instead checking all lines, you can highlight white spaces. How?
:set list
:set listchars=eol:$,tab:>-,trail:~,extends:>,precedes:<
Very simple and useful tip! 
If you have any doubt, advice or something else, comment this post!

Today I show you how to protect with a password a web url. This can be done in several ways (you can find it in Google) and in this post I use Apache2. Follow these steps:
#> htpasswd -c /path/to/.htaccess diegor
and when the prompt will ask you the password, type it (twice). The file looks like (in this case the password is like the username - DON’T DO IT, NEVER!!):
diegor:HMAATyF2kQ37E
AuthUserFile /path/to/your/safedir/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName EnterPassword AuthType Basic require user diegor
That’s it. If you have any issue, comment this post.
If you are using Time Machine feature from OSX maybe you need to move data from you hard disk to a new one avoiding to lose it. There is no official way to do this, but with some trick you can do it easily. Follow these steps:
When the process will finish, new drive has the same name of the old one. Rename old drive or give a new name to new drive. Once you changed the name open Time Machine settings and choose new drive.
That’s it
If you have any trouble, let me know commenting this post.

Usually when someone (nerd) starts to write a new blog, he begin with an “Hello World“. I have this blog since January 2007 and I always have been written in italian (my mother tongue).
Some time ago I decided to write in english and so now I do For me this post is like the first of a new blog!
Besides I also know the spanish, hence you can find some useful post in this language. You can switch among languages using the menu on the right or putting “/it/” or “/es/” after the domain.. et voilà, the site changes language! 
Now I explain rapidly the structure and features of my site:
So, this blog is an ESL (English as Second Language) blog and you (yes, right you!) could fix my errors, suggest or integrate HOWTOs and whatever you want.
For now, thanks for you patience and.. see you soon!
Vim is my favourite text editor, i use it pretty anywhere
I’ll share a useful trick for commenting multiple lines of code:
1) SHIFT-V to select multiple lines;
2) Type “:s/^/#”
Where “^” indicates the beginning of a line and “#” the comment symbol of your choice.
To decomment a block of code:
1) Shift-V
2) Type “:s/^#//”
