Fonejacker

This was one of the few tv programs I liked when I arrived in UK (of course, just after BBC News ;-) ): some of the accents that the Fonejacker does were (and some still are) quite difficult, but… it’s super funny anyway. F**k off!!! Official web site: www.fonejacker.tv.

A new, even bigger City

After a year and a couple of months I’m going to leave Symbian Software Ltd. (London). It has been a very good experience as my first job in [en:UK]: a way to grow mainly, first as a [en:Man], then as a [en:Software Engineer]… and then professionally in general. A lot of interesting, inspiring, intelligent people (and a lot of NOT), that showed me “their way”: I took where it was worth it, not where it wasn’t… and left where I was able to. ...

Nokia should Learn, not Teach

From Slashdot: Nokia Urges Linux Developers To Be Cool With DRM [superglaze](mailto:superglaze@hotmail.com) writes in to note that according to Nokia's software chief, its plans for open source include getting developers to [accept things like DRM, commercial IP rights, and SIM locks](http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/content/jun2008/gb20080612_288518.htm?chan=top+news_top+news+index_global+business). > «[[Ari] Jaaksi](http://jaaksi.blogspot.com/) admitted that concepts like these "go against the open-source philosophy," but said they were necessary components of the current mobile industry. "Why do we need closed vehicles? We do," he said. "Some of these things harm the industry but they're here [as things stand]. These are touchy, emotional issues, but this dialogue is very much needed. As an industry, we plan to use open-source technologies, but we are not yet ready to play by the rules; but this needs to work the other way round too."» So, Nokia wants to EAT using the knowledge and the software that the Open Source Community created… and, at the same time, change it’s culture and impose concepts that are COMPLETELY against the Open Source “philosophy” itself. Interesting… Instead of learning of the quality of what the Open Source community is capable of doing using a development model built around “equality and quality”, they want to teach/impose? And to who? To the Trolltech employee? They are free to do so… but this does not mean that the rest of the Community will change its mind. QT? There is KDE that has a foundation to protect it PLUS there is always the Fork option ;-) . Think about XFree86 and X.org: nowdays they lost all the users… because of the stupid decision of changing the license. ...

Worse than being unable to Sleep...

… is being woke up at 8:32 on Sunday Morning, after you went to sleep around 02:30. Wake Up! Now! And not just woke up “politely”: your flatmate comes back at home and turn on his super-laudly-hard-techno-rock-massive-disruptive music. I leave at you to imagine the rest. Ah, by the way: just attached to his room, in the flat next to us, there a very Old-Style-Super-Polite English Couple. -_-
