This blog, our public places and our applications will be offline for a few minutes to perform maintenance on the servers during the next Thursday, June 3, from 7am CET . According to our hosting provider, it is only necessary to disconnect the servers for a few minutes to make some hardware changes. We appreciate your patience during the period of inactivity.
Finally, we renamed our software platform (which until now had no official name) with the name of TubeSpark. The vast majority of our applications and web projects are developed on TubeSpark (currently working on version 4.2) TubeSpark is a software that allows the creation of all types of cutting-edge applications for the Internet in a quick and efficient manner.
As a web programmer in java, I spend my time compiling with maven, updating and commiting to subversion, stopping and starting the tomcat, viewing tails of logs, and a lot of executions of scripts. After programming for the iPhone I wanted to program something in Objective-C so starting from the idea of Tomcat Controller I have developed an application that can run scripts and view results in a new tab if you want. For example, you launch a tail of the log of tomcat in a new tab and without having to open new tabs you can launch and stop the tomcat.
In late summer, we closed the new version 4.2 of the set of libraries (framework) that we use to develop all our projects and applications. As big news, I would like to stress that from now on, all applications developed by Conductiva have native support for OpenID user authentication. The OpenID is an authentication standard that allows users to access a large number of websites without having to remember multiple usernames or multiple passwords. In parallel to OpenID support in all our applications, we have launched a service that operates on the OpenID standard to generate OpenID identifiers. The new service is called LonelyID. These new identifiers allow authentication through a random password generated directly on your mobile phone. So far, LonelyID supports iPhone and iPod touch devices, but we are preparing new versions for devices from other manufacturers.
Today I found an interesting article talking about a project called Personas created by Aaron Zinman. The project is part of an exhibition at M.I.T. Museum called Metropath(ologies). Personas project defines itself as: "(it) scours the web for information and attempts to characterize the person - to fit them to a predetermined set of categories that an algorithmic process created from a massive corpus of data. The computational process is visualized with each stage of the analysis, finally resulting in the presentation of a seemingly authoritative personal profile." As a curiosity, it catched my attention to see that the concept of conductiva, inside Persona's project, contained a great amount of significance related to our company's definition and our online profile. http://personas.media.mit.edu/personasWeb
P.D.: If you think that Persona's project is not going to change the path of humanity at all, you are probably right. In the example of conductiva, our company's definition comes in the first place probably because our website is hosted under conductiva.com. However, the project is still interesting enough to step by and see how it works.
We are glad to anounce a new section in our website called Labs!
In Labs section we'll publish web utilities (such as web services or applications) that have helped us on our daily work and as they are being useful to us we think they are worth sharing too. What you will find in Labs section
And soon...Over the next months the section will grow up with new services and applications.
We have included a new feedback section in our website. The main goal of this new functionality is to provide more usability to conductiva's website so visitors can now send their comments or contact us in an easier way.
Since the begining of this year, when we started with twitter micro-blogging as a way to publish information related to Conductiva, we found a critical problem: our daily relationship with customers and collaborators is carried out in multiple languages. Some of them speak english, others spanish and others catalan. Then, in which way could we make twitter micro-blogging (initially designed to work under one single language) compatible for multi-language support so it can be useful to all of them simultaneously without displaying messages in the wrong language? Arrived to this point, here's what we did: 1. We created three twitter account with the following aliases: conductiva, conductiva_es, conductiva_cat, for english, spanish and catalan. 2. All communications we do from twitter (not so many as this time) are inserted simultaneously in the three accounts using the proper language for each. 3. Depending on the language chosen by the person visiting our website, www.conductiva.com, the links to twitter are redirected to the account under the specific language. We thought this could be an easy way to keep all our clients and collaborators connected to twitter while displaying only those messages written in the language they selected.
After some weeks working on our website we can finally say that new Conductiva's website is ready! We have organised the website to clearly display the most interesting contents, from new products or services we're going to start offering on incoming months to some analysis of some of the projects we've been involved with during the last months.
In order to maximise compatibility with mobile phone browsing, we have prepared a mobile version of the website where all web contents are accessible in a more compressed form.
A new blog has also been created. We'll be publishing technology and project related info from there as well as info about the projects we're involved with in our daily work. We have also prepared the website to be easily linkable to Twitter, RSS feeds, ... We also want to thank Bifid for its excellent job in the graphic design of the website.
We just moved to a more convenient office. And our phone number has changed too. Please write down the new contact details: C/ Pare Gallisà, 5, 1º, 1ª - 08500 - VIC (view on map) The new phone number: +34 93 380 45 80
