Take a look here: the Transport of London website. Well organized, rich, usefull. Every information users needs, also with other services like RSS News about “delays”, “tube enhancements”, “contest and festive related informations and suggestions”. Besides, Transport system itself is powerfull, effective and “right”: English people speaks about a “not enought services, so poor transport system”. They are accustomed to something richer than me. And than every “Napoletane” people. ...

It’s not easy to explain… and I can’t synthetize my motivations in a couple of words. Hence, I think it’s a good idea to list, in a new series of post, the single facts one bye one. I’m from Italy and the needs of service and a bit of civilization is the main matter for me. I’m trying to change my life. I’m trying to come to live in the oldest “Monarchy” in the world.

Quest’immagine si commenta da sola: è dedicata a tutti quelli che sono stati DAVVERO CATTIVI!!! :D :D :D Un grazie particolare a Sharketto per avermela passata ;) .

Questa frase GENIALE quanto OVVIA e SEMPLICE non è mia ma di Luttazzi: che la pronunciò durante uno dei suoi spettacoli. Ed è quella che mi è venuta in mente quando ieri ho sentito e poi oggi ho letto le parole del Papa in quel di San Pietro. Prendo ad esempio l’articolo su Repubblica, ma andrebbe bene uno qualsiasi dei giornali banalmente-filo-cristiani della nostra martoriata penisola. “Dal fondo di questa umanità gaudente e disperata si leva un’invocazione straziante di aiuto”. E’ questa la risposta di Benedetto XVI alla domanda se “ha ancora valore e significato un ‘Salvatore’ per l’uomo del terzo millennio”. ...

Taking a walk for one of my preferred blogs I found an interesting article from IBM DeveloperWorks: “Get the most out of zsh”. I did’t know this shell until now and, reading the article, I was convinced to give it a try. icebook# sudo apt-get install zsh Take a look at it. Is the Bash era over? Looking for direct links? Official homepage of the ZSH. An interesting mirror on SunSite.

It’s the swift knife of every good admin. The only “fault” of it? The project is growing only on x86: PPC is sucking. ...

Recita così il finale di questo spot che MelaBlog ha pescato su www.spot80.it. Personalmente, le immagini potevano anche essere “buone” ma il messaggio, così come viene passato, è davvero scadente e quasi banale. Ma forse il mio palato ormai è assuefatto quasi alla moderna pubblicità, dove i giochi dei “doppi sensi”, del “non detto”, del “sussurrato”, della “seduzione intellettiva”… la fanno da padrone. Però, il messaggio è comunque VERO: il Mio iBook, il primo Mac, mi ha fatto DAVVERO PIU’ FELICE. ;)

From the official announcement page: VMware Virtualization for Mac Beta Program What is VMware’s virtualization product for Mac? The new VMware desktop product for the Mac, codenamed Fusion, allows Intel-based Macs to run x86 operating systems, such as Windows, Linux, NetWare and Solaris, in virtual machines at the same time as Mac OS X. It is built on VMware’s rock-solid and advanced desktop virtualization platform that is used by over four million users today. With Fusion, you can run traditional PC applications on your Mac: if you need to run PC applications, you can now do so by leveraging the power of virtual machine technology. I still haven’t a MacIntel ( :( ) but I’m so happy about it: I saw Parallels Desktop in action and… I was not really enthusiast about it. I know VMWare and its quality level: the bigger and the stronger player in the battle for virtuallization it’s on its way. Other details about Fusion (I suspect it will not be the final name of this product ;) ), on ...

My friend V.V. (thank you, dear V.) sent to me this link: Coming in January: “Month of Apple Bugs”. This “article” speaks about an “hypothetical” developer, called “LMH”, who will start, in January 2007, an entire month dedicated to “searching for MacOSX bugs”. Mmmm…. Ok, I love MacOSX, and I love every Unix System too (Linux Rulez!!! ;) ) but… I think that: this “announcement of power” has only 2 possible whys: ...
