Time Machine

Time Machine – Historical Projects

On this page, I want to collect some of the projects that I developed in the early years of this site. These projects are very old and are maintained only for the love of historical code. They are not actively maintained, so they are available “as is” without support. However, they are still relevant in the field of computer science. I continue to work heavily in programming, but now at the level of cloud provider in the field of security

This page is a deliberately technical “time machine”: the sections below are the original historical overview, followed by the complete inventory of my public code, with creation dates and archival status taken from the source platforms (GitHub, WordPress.org, GitLab, and other forges). The inventory is grouped by technology area, starting from systems languages, because the core of my work has always been closer to the machine than to the CMS.

Java developer

As Java developer I have done a lot of work because it was my primary language. A short list is the follow:

  • “Odyno DataBus” (the source code is hosted on github) it was what for me was the maximum of abstraction and isolation. It is a J2SE DataBus component, OSGi R4 compliant, for the management of a logical databus. The Odyno DataBus is a subsystem that transfers Java-Object among components inside a computer, or among computers. I have implemented the publish-subscribe pattern with the possibility to filter by types or by aspect of types.
  • “Icaro – Rich Client Application“ allows to have an application interface ready to be used in individual projects. you can create windows chield of a frame (content), windows sliding / retractable side (view), and provide immediate action bar menu + integrated into the frame for all activities definite (Actions)
  • “AST-Parent-Pom“  The Alessandro STaniscia MAVEN parent pom is used for all software made by me. I work as a Software Specialist, but software, technology are also my preferred hobbies. So, often I act as garage-developer and I have fun in producing code.

You can download this and other compiled artefacts with the link on the owned page or with the link to the downloads page. For the Maven nature project you can add my repository in your

setting.xml

with this simple code (more info on my article Creare un repository Maven con server ftp e http)

WordPress Plugin Developer

I discovered WordPress several years ago. This site is made in WordPress, and I think it’s a very flexible content management system. That’s why I am also a developer for this platform.

JQuery Developer

I tried to play a bit with JQuery Plugins system and I have dove into these plugins:

  • JQuery Position Picker -A jQuery plugin that creates a location picker on your webpage with a simple input form.

Other source code

If you want to fork my code you can do so because most of my projects are on either GithubGithub or BitbucketBitbucket, others in this site and others in my “garage-datastore”. I list my projects here, organized by location

  • {{github:Odyno}}
  • ProxySetting – Set proxy on Linux shell with these simple scripts

GitHub Inventory (complete, by technology)

This is the full inventory of my public GitHub repositories (github.com/Odyno), grouped by technology area and ordered by creation date within each group, starting from systems languages down to web tooling. For each entry the creation date, the originality (original work vs fork), the archival status, and a short technical note on what the project did are reported. Repositories marked as [ARCHIVED] are read-only and kept purely for historical reference.

Other forges

Beyond GitHub, part of my code lives or has lived on other platforms: Bitbucket (historical repositories), GitLab instances used for work-related projects, and the WordPress.org plugin SVN (where my plugins are distributed to users). Some legacy experiments also survive only on this site and in my “garage-datastore”, as noted in the historical sections above.
