Saw 4 is on is way. And who LOVE this series knows that will be very very… very difficult to make something better than the previous movies. But this clip, with the autopsy of JigSaw, is just PERFECT!!! Everything as usual: unexpected and bleeding. Probably… a little bit of spoilering… or not? I think not! Take a look and let me know. By the way, I putted it after “continue…” because the images very horrifying (I’d say “amazing”, but someone will think I’m a Serial Killer ;-) ). ...

This short movie is not very “about” [en:BMW], but no one will forget it!!! Title: BMW M5 with Madonna Abstract: BMW M5 commercial with Madonna very funny and sweet ass car. Source, cine|blog.it.

Update 2007-09-14: I re-listed it on eBay because they contacted me and said that I’ll receive my money for the 2 auction back. As usual, eBay has a great Customer Care (or, at least, this is my present and past experience about that). Update 2007-09-12: I sold it twice. Twice was a spoof/fake. :( A fake account on eBay bought it with the option “Buy Now”. Then he asked to me to send the product in Africa (Nigeria) and asked to me to pay with PayPal. In the beginning I thought it was strange… but with the money, I would sell also in Nicaragua. ...

Here we are. 0.2. 0.2 of nothing but a “divertissment” which help me to learn better and better the Cocoa Framework, and discover all the magic stuff it does. The release notes is: 0.2 (2007-09-09) * Support for Italian, Spanish, French and German (Thanks to [Manu](http://secretum.neminis.org/)). > * New "Preferences" panel to set the "Default Currency" to convert from/to and the "Default Currency Ammount" to set at the application startup (Thanks to the [Alhandra's](http://alhandra.wordpress.com/) suggestion). > * Remove a Bug in the "German Mark" definition (I wrote "Deutsche Mark" in the English version :P ) > One important aspect I learnt is how to bind Preferences to the User Defaults (the Cocoa default preferences system). Pratically, the one that generates, for every app, a file .plist in your ~/Library/Preferences directory. Unix-Style joined with Apple-Style. ...

Update 10th of Sep 2007: The name of the Restaurant is “Sig. Grilli - Ristorante Pizzeria” in 40 Goodge Street, London W1. I wrote a review about it in Italian ;) It was parked in Tottenham Court Road. We were just out of an Italian Restaurant (£25.00 each… for a beef steak and House’s Red Wine!!!)… when I saw it: It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

First release, first problem. After a lot of research about the standard [en:ISO 4217] (the one that define the “3 letter name” for every currency in the world) and all the symbols of European currencies, I miss one: the [en:Slovenian Tolar]. If someone is able to find it out and, ideally, to give me the relative [en:Unicode_Symbols|Unicode] it will be very appreciated. Also, I’m looking for someone able to translate the name of the different currencies (13) in, at least, French, German and Spanish. Other languages are welcome too. Manu, this call is to you ;) .

I started. What? My “project” of learn how to write (serious) apps for Mac OS X. Using Cocoa. Details on the “official” page: Experiments with Cocoa. Cocoa Butter… What’s the first “experiment”? HiEuro!

I tried it from the first release, but I was disappointed because of the “heavyness” of the indexing process: all my apps seems to be like “yawning” at every interaction I did. But because I like Google (yes, I said! I like it!) I thought “why don’t give to it another chance?”. I read a post on the Official Google Mac Blog about the latest release (1.1.0.520 (8/31/2007)) and I simply installed it (not a classical Mac OS X installer, but we can forgive this…). ...
