Yeah: today is time for meetings :D !!! By TUAW a news that anyone (like me? without money?) was waiting for: CCC aka Carbon Copy Cloner is [en:Universal Binary]. This means that now it runs on [en:MacIntel] too. But, what’s new in this beta release? ...
And… seems to be a nice meeting. ;) After a lot of development, the comunity surrounding the project realeases last stable version 1.2.3.1 of Mono. What about [en:Mac_OS_X|Mac OS X]? Here is a dedicated page on the official wiki of Mono. And, in particular, I’m happy to highlight a tutorial/howto about XCode and Mono integration: CSharpPlugin. I know that [en:Mono_(software)|Mono] is the open-source implementation of [en:.NET_Framework|.Net] (started by [en:Novell]), and that I hate [en:Microsoft|M$], but… I can’t hate a framework. It’s like to hate the [en:Plutonium] because we make the [en:Atomic_Bomb] with it! ;) ...
O, nella versione originale in Napoletano: Pur eh Pullece tenn ‘a Toss Questo post è un VOLUTO E CERCATO sfottò che da il benvenuto ad un nuovo blog di un amico mio e di Nemo: Fauchone (aka Faucho aka Tato…). Sono certo che apprezzerai ;) . E che tutta la comunità anche lo farà: ha qualcosa da dire e lo dice anche in una maniera davvero divertente. Quindi, Stay tuned on it.
Non aggiungo altro al post di Nemo: leggetelo con giudizio ed attenzione. Resterete sorpresi (è ancora possibile) da un’altra “storia Italiana”. Una storia dove, come al solito, la fanno da padrone interesse personale, danni ai cittadini… e processi “boicottati” dai nostri portentosi media (ah, si è salvato solo Report…).
TUAW today highlights this new Tutorial about Cocoa: Learn Cocoa (part II). Some people on TUAW say that: … there wasn’t actually any coding involved… But it was about the first part, that is “introductive”. In this second part seems that things are changing. I haven’t readed yet to give a valutation; but I’ll do… I promise. Stay tuned.

… che però è più che fondamentale. Quando siamo stati alla “Giornata di Informazione Tecnologica” ci siamo fatti “fregare” dalle parole degli Evangelist Microsoft circa una sottigliezza a dir poco SCONCERTANTE. Su [en:Windows_Vista|Windows Vista] non si possono installare programmi SE NON come Admin. Questo vuol dire che non si può installare nulla, nemmeno il [en:Mame] o l’emulatore della [en:Playstation|Play]. Con ovvie restrizioni all’usabilità (nonchè alla liberta) degli utenti. E’ ovvio che, che so, il [it:driver] della [it:Scheda Video] vada installato con permessi “elevati”: ma lo stesso non vale se voglio giocare a CrackAttack. Ci hanno fregato con la storia della retrocompatibilità e della sandbox: su Vista, infatti, i programmi che tentano di scrivere nel registro o in file/directory di sistema vengono “fregati” a livello di API, redirigendo il loro output su una sandbox contenuta nella cartella utente. Molto bello. Ma ci devi arrivare ad installare ;) Ma questo cosa comporterà (secondo me)? Che TUTTI si faranno account amministratore e useranno SOLO QUELLO, perché è naturale che non si vorrà essere infastiditi continuamente. Questo avrà la naturale conseguenza di eliminare ogni traccia della filosofia “l’account di Admin lo si usa solo se necessario”. E quindi di tutta l’architettura “SICURA” di questo (s)Vista. E, a testimonianza di questo, gli stessi Evangelist lì presenti avevano TUTTI disabilitato la funzione di “chieder loro se continuare o meno quando un programma richiede di eseguire operazioni potenzialmente pericolose”: se nemmeno loro sopportano questi messaggi… figurarsi l’utente. Seguono altre fonti. ...
Hi. This post is for any Londoner that is looking for a flatmate or a lodger… and that waste their time on my weblog ;) . I’m looking for a long-term accomodation in [en:London]: a studio or a flat (also shared with max 3/4 people). I’m looking for something furnished, with 1 or 2 bathroom (for a better sharing), kitcken with all amenities, washer, fridge and so on. Better if renewed. I’d like to be contacted by email for now, because I’m still in Italy. A view of the Accomodation could be sorted in March: I’ll come for few (3/5) days for a briefing for my new job. It could be a good occasion. My schedule (to be confirmed) is: * 11th - available in the evening * 12th - available starting from 5/6 o'clock pm * 13th - available starting from 5/6 o'clock pm * 14th - available starting from 5/6 o'clock pm * 15th - available all day * 16th - available all day * 17th - available but under departure Details on me follows. ...
Lelly have rised my curiosity about “why the yawn is so contagious?”. And, obviously, Wikipedia has the answer: Contagiousness The yawn reflex is often described as contagious: if one person yawns, this will cause another person to “sympathetically” yawn. The proximate cause for contagious yawning may lie with mirror neurons, i.e. neurons in the frontal cortex of certain vertebrates, which upon being exposed to a stimulus from conspecific (same species) and occasionally interspecific organisms, activates the same regions in the brain. Mirror neurons have been proposed as a driving force for imitation which lies at the root of much human learning, e.g. language acquisition. Yawning may be an offshoot of the same imitative impulse. At a distal level (in terms of evolutionary advantage), yawning might be a herd instinct. Other theories suggest that the yawn serves to synchronize mood behavior among gregarious animals, similar to the howling of the wolf pack during a full moon. It signals tiredness to other members of the group in order to synchronize sleeping patterns and periods of activity. It can serve as a warning in displaying large, canine teeth. This phenomenon has been observed among various primates. The threat gesture is a way of maintaining order in the primates’ social structure. The contagion of yawning is interspecific, for example a human yawning in front of a pet dog can incite the dog to yawn as well. Oddly, sometimes sympathetic yawning may be caused by simply looking at a picture of a person or animal yawning, or even seeing the word yawn. … ...
Less than 30 minutes ago I have received THE call from G. A. from Symbian Ltd. Human Resources. I was waiting this call until the last 22nd of January, the day I came back from [en:London] after the Assessment Day of Symbian. Few details: * Position: Software Engineer in London Office * Starting date: 2nd week of April * Salary: ENOUGH ( ;) ) x Year + 2 retouch during the first 2 years * Type: Permanent Contract I’ll go in London for a “briefing” on [en:C++] in the second week of March: I don’t need the briefing so much, I’m not so young with C++… but it’s a very good chance to exercise my english. ;) ...
