Whether you write up your documents in Microsoft Office, Open Office or Star Office, a common feature of your word processor is the immediate attempt to notify you of any errors it finds during your drafting. When this happens, the document you’re editing lights up with red underlines, and maybe even margins or frames — all in all making your document unsuitable for professional publishing purposes.

So Lozzi Solutions has been given a whole new look and I hope you like it. What initiated the new look is the recent decision to switch from Movable Type (MT) to Wordpress (WP), for reasons I hope to make clearer later. So far, it’s been enjoyable and easy, to say the least. For a long time, well, maybe not that long- but for long enough, I was a proponent of Movable Type. Recently, I realized I needed to make a decision- do I continue having to deal with the technicalities or try something new in an effort to deliver decent content more often?

I am an avid fan of Amazon. Well, maybe that’s not entirely true… I like Amazon, but it’s more correct to say that I am an avid book reader. So for the purpose of reading books, and since 2003- currently six years of buying and selling books online, I consider Amazon to be the best service for this purpose. Having been a long
time loyal customer and likewise, a loyal and committed vendor (in this case a mere bookseller), I have a lot of faith in the services that Amazon provides as it relates to books. Therefore, you may occasionally see links on this site that are referral links… simply put, chances are that when you see a link somewhere on this site and a book is talked about or shown nearby- whether or not I feel strongly about the book not withstanding, chances are if you click on the link, you’re helping out Lozzi Solutions. -

So what’s new? Sure it’s about a month late in celebration, but I haven’t really had much that I considered worthy of sharing recently. The biggest news I have is that with the economy that everyone knows we are in, I too have fallen victim to the ensuing economic troubles. I was laid off from my position at Sun Microsystems on December 22nd, 2008; yep- three days before Christmas, oh and with a generous five days worth of notice.

If you’ve tried to access this site recently you may have found it simply unreachable or maybe a repository or two just wasn’t working for you. This is because I’ve moved the site to a two terabyte RAID 1 backup solution which took some time setting up, played with Far Cry 2 a bit which was an absolute blast, but more importantly I chose to temporarily disable the University of Massachusetts source code found in the Repository. Recently, I noticed a heavy amount of traffic coming from the university centering on the source code found in the courses 91.101 and 91.102, which are both introductory courses in UMass Lowell’s Computer Science Department. Normally, there isn’t much traffic to these courses, but with the current semester in progress I think it’s kind of obvious what’s going on here.

I’m not exactly sure of the criteria that the folks at Movable Type go through to approve a plugin submitted by the general community. To me, it would make sense that plugins that are submitted should go through some level of testing before it is listed among the many plugins in their directory. If some testing does occur, then I’m comfortable saying that my recent plugin has been approved. You can see it listed in the directory, but I consider it dry there – I think you’ll get more information if you view the project page here. One caveat I’ve seen, is plugins listed in the directory that either didn’t work or had broken links that were critical to acquiring the plugin or critical to acquiring the plugin’s documentation, which can certainly be a downer when you’re looking to install a plugin to help you solve an issue you’re having.

You may or may not have noticed a change here at Lozzi Solutions. With my most recent post I briefly described a few things that have been happening. If you have time, I’d like to hear what you are up to and that request was not meant as a holier-than-thou request but sincerely, I’d like to know what other developers are up to. If you have a blog where you discuss your work you’re welcome to link to it from here, briefly describing the new projects you’re currently on or about to take on.

This summer has been particularly tough in regards to branching off and adding code to projects that were started in the past. In an effort to publish what I’ve been working on since the spring semester ended, here’s a brief discussion on what’s been happening. Care to share what you have been doing?

San Francisco is a great city. Sure, like any city it has its negatives but there’s a great number of positives about the city too. Of course there’s the weather, much nicer than New England. Transportation is much more accessible than a place like Boston (the streets are also wider to account for this system) and there’s plenty of great things to do and see.

Nope. Almost two years ago the infamous unknown error -203 bug surfaced when you would try to install your favorite add-ons. Personally, I never experienced it back then, but after upgrading my systems to Ubuntu 8.04 “Hardy Heron”, this problem appears to be ever more present. Aggravated over the failed attempts at installing the most essential add-ons like Web-Developer and Googlebar, I went looking for some answers.
