[PERL] Include .pl file

I needed to use some function to include a .pl file as in C. The answer is: require

mainFile.pl

require "myFunc.pl";

betterPrint("test");


myFunc.pl

push @INC, \&betterPrint;

sub betterPrint {
...
}


Pay attention to what you require. The .pl file must be in the same directory or called through full path.

It’s really annoying, every time someone changes is own message on skype, it shows a red mark as if you just received a chat.

A post from the dashboard

Hello dear mac users, I’m using a good widget to post on wordpress directly from the dashboard on my powerbook.
The configuration is not so easy (if you don’t have google of course): username and password are the same as on wordpress; Your xmlrpc is the URL of your blog with a /xmlrpc.php at the end. E.g.: http://yourblog.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php.

Have a nice blogging.

Run a fsck on reboot

fsck is an utility that looks for bad blocks and errors on your filesystem. It usually runs at specificied number of system startups. If you want to force fsck to run on the next boot, the command is:
# echo y > /forcefsck

Instead, if you want to ever skip fsck on start, then the command is:
# touch /fastboot

Determining ms sql db size

Hello, this morning i needed a task to be accomplished: understand what is the dimension of a couple of databases standing on a windows server 2003 with sql server 2005.

Here it is the walkthrough:
– start-> run -> cmd
– sqlcmd
– USE master;
– EXEC sp_spaceused;
– go

and that’s all.

Alert() and Facebook’s FBJS

As you may have noticed developing some facebook application, alert() function doesn’t work.

Here it is a valid substitute:
var dialog = new Dialog(Dialog.DIALOG_POP).showChoice(‘Window title’,’Alert content’,’Yes’,’No’);

I tested it and works like a charm.

Nessus su Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty

Dalla versione 8.10, nessusclient e’ stato sostituito con un pacchetto pro forma per spingere gli utenti ad utilizzare l’ottima alternativa OpenVAS.

Nel caso siate costretti ad utilizzare comunque Nessus, potete installare il server con apt-get. Per quanto riguarda il client invece, va effettuato il download del pacchetto debian della vecchia stable 8.10 da
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/nessusclient/download

Una volta scaricato il pacchetto lo si installa con
dpkg -i nomepacchetto.deb

e si avvia il client con NessusClient
