Ma qui da me non ne vogliono sapere di dormire ;) “Sant’Antò, hè fatto sta buono ‘o figliu mio. Nun ‘me dj’ niente .. .. .. nunn’aggia potuto fa ‘a testiera a ‘o Bambiniello. Sulo chesto aggia potuto”. Facendo niente… ha fatto anche troppo per i miei gusti ;)

Ho dovuto attendere un bel pò ma alla fine ce l’ho fatta: ho finalmente potuto condividere (anche se solo in foto ed immagini) la gioia della Laurea di Grace. Alla fine si tratta di momenti, di attimi della vita di altre persone in cui “o ci sei, o non ci sei”. E, mancandoci, capisci bene l’importanza di tale differenza. L’importanza di essere lontano e distante fisicamente: condizione che implica, con il tempo, una distanza anche “mentale”. Non perché lo si voglia realmente, ma perché, “semplicemente”, la vita scorre, il tempo passa, le cose accadono… e tu sei dove sei. Tu sei chi sei. Tu sei CON chi sei. ...

Thanks God, now I can [en:iSync]!!! As someone probably remember, I switched from an [en:Nokia E70] to a [en:Sony Ericsson W950i]. In the beginning, it was not possible to synchronize my [en:iBook] with my new smarth-phone because of a “strange” implementation of the [en:SyncML] protocol on Sony Ericsson/UIQ 3.0 phones. A lot of people has tried to figure out how to do it (Google for it), failing! But now [en:Sony_Ericsson] has finally released the relative plugins: ...

Update 14th August 2007: Look at this!!! The first NATIVE GAME for iPhone! Before that Apple itself release any game for it 8-O !!! It’s true: [en:iPhone] is based on [en:Mac_OS_X|Mac OSX] and it is quite similar to it. Apple, from the beginning, has chosen to close it, avoiding to release any [en:SDK] or stuff like that. Theoretically, the only thing a developer can do is to work on a Web 2.0/Ajax web app. That is not so bad, but… not enough. At least, for hackers that “likes to know more and more”. ...

> Title: Bella Ciao Singers: Modena City Ramblers A friend of mine, one that I’d have never expected something like that, has sent to me this email: I heard this song by mistake and i loved the music if you have time and if it is not ball breaking i want to ask you to translate it for me […] And then I replied: You choosen probably the “spinal cord” of the Italy. The FORGOTTEN spinal cord. What has joined us against Fascists + Nazists during the Second World War. The origin is not sure, but it comes from the Partigians, people in the middle-north of Italy that has fightened (and death) for the Freedom against Mussolini and his stupid idea of joining Nazists. Today, in every young knows it… but only very old man REALLY UNDERSTAND what it means. Not because of the words (they are few and simple) but because of the “carried message”, the “payload” of this song. Anyway, you can find a lot of translations here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bella_ciao Thanks for remembering me the “good part” of my beautiful country. ...

This version of Bejeweled is available for free as Ajax implementation. And it is a good way to waste your work-time ;) . Originally thinked to run on [en:iPhone], it is quite good also on [en:Firefox] (I haven’t tried on [en:Internet_Explorer|IE]). Enjoy! … … … What? Sorry, if you, like me until this morning, don’t know what the hell is this game, here is a piece of the dedicated Wikipedia page: ...

Hi Guys. I’m part of a very little Gooooogle Group (only 5 members) discussing about an interesting project, PySync. I’ll not go in details (everything is in the “3” discussions inside the group), but some interesting ideas are “popping-out”. Share if you have something to.
