WordPress multisite on Hostpoint.ch

This blog explain how to use WordPress multisite on Hostpoint.ch, without the need of asking to Hostpoint.ch any manual configuration change (cf. this blog post).

Wordpress Multisite

Martel Media is providing different web sites to support the communication needs of the projects where Martel is involved. Before my arrival to Martel, this web site were managed using the default provisioning modality offered by Hostpoint.ch. Hostpoint admin panel simply deploys a new virtual service with a complete wordpress base code.While the hosting service in term quality/price ratio, considering also the support level, is really great, this limitation is quite an overhead from the management point of view.

My First OpenStack Summit

October comes to an end after a fantastic and unique experience in the beautiful city of Barcelona, namely, my first OpenStack Summit.

Taking part of the summit proved useful not only to better understand OpenStack, but also because next year, as part of the R&D activities related to FIWARE in Martel, we are going to push further the work on FIWARE Lab, a free to use cloud based on OpenStack with about 7000 users.

Converting a USB printer into a WiFi AirPrint printer with 9$

In my home office, I happen to have a XEROX 6130N: it’s a bit old, but works perfectly. It is actually also an ethernet printer, but 1) I don’t want to move the printer close to the router; 2) I don’t want to get a wire from the router to the printer (2 floors are between them); 3) XEROX 6130N was born before AirPrint, so it does not support it, and given that often I read documents over my iPad, it would be nice that I don’t have to move to the PC to print them when needed. So basically how do I convert it to my USB Printer into a WIFI AirPrint printer?
