Apache2: redirect different domains to subfolder

In the aim to merge two of my server on digitalocean, today I tried to write a mod_rewrite rule to redirect a secondary domain to a subfolder. After one hour, I found that I can do that with a VirtualHosts!

Just edit the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/default and add a rule for each domain at the end of file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName http://www.domain.org
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/domain.org/www
</VirtualHost>

It’s easy, if you know.

MonoGame: fix block text problem

Yesterday I’ve started to write the UI of my game with monogame on linux. After writing a window system, I’ve tried to display some text with SpriteFonts, but has displayed black blocks instead of text.

Searching on google, someone said that I should create my spritefonts using the monogame content processor; done, but same result.
Searching deeply on google, someone else said to install libtxc_dxtn to fix the problem: this has worked, thanks ShaneG.

MonoGame con F# su Linux

In quest’articolo vi illustro brevemente come utilizzare F# su Linux per realizzare videogames multipiattaforma tramite la libreria MonoGame (Un clone opensource di Microsoft XNA).
Perchè scriverci un articolo? Fondamentalmente perchè  non tutto funziona al volo come i team di Xamarin e MonoGame vogliono farti credere; o almeno, non a me, non su gentoo linux e monodevelop4.

La mia nuvola personale

Ho sempre desiderato poter sfruttare la potenza di calcolo del mio pc casalingo ovunque mi trovassi, senza la necessita’ di averlo con me. Con quest’obiettivo, oggi ho messo a punto la mia linux box per poterla utilizzare in remoto tramite tablet/cellulare o qualsiasi altro pc con a disposizione una connessione internet ed un client vnc.
