HTML 5: I still love the Web

Who knows me better, knows that I love the [en:WWW|Web]. So, I was seeking for info about the next generation of web. What I mean with “next generation”? I mean “what we can expect to see in the future”. And the best place, is to go were people (with good skills) go and start to discuss and brainstorm about this stuff. I found a very interesting pre-RFC: HTML 5 Working Draft. All the amazing and cool stuff are coming are there and is pointless for me to report them (just one: Client-Side Persistency!!! COOOOL!). But it’s interesting to see WHO is working on this. I mean, who is ALREADY thinking about what we will have in the “next World Wide Web”. ...

When a “person” fart and/or burp in public without begging for pardon. … In general, I hate who is not well-mannered. At least, in public and/or in a place where not everyone is a close friend. ...

Don't get bored to death or the Queen will sue you!

Sounds impossible? Depends on WHERE you get bored. Please, do do it in the [en:House of Parliament]. [en:LONDON] (AFP) - [en:Queen Elizabeth II]’s speech in the [en:British Parliament] Tuesday may have been routine but at least nobody got bored to death. That would have been against the law. Dying in parliament is an offence and is also by far the most absurd law in [en:Britain], according to a survey of nearly 4,000 people by a television channel showing a legal drama series. And though the lords were clad in their red and white ermine cloaks and ambassadors from around the world wore colourful national costumes, at least nobody turned up in a suit of armour. Illegal. Other rules deemed utterly stupid included one that permits a pregnant woman to urinate in a policeman’s hat and murdering bow-and-arrow-carrying Scotsmen within the city walls of York, northern England. A law stating that in [en:Liverpool], only a clerk in a tropical fish store is allowed to be publicly topless, was also ridiculous, said a poll of 3,931 people for UKTV Gold television out Tuesday. Nearly half of those surveyed admitted to breaking the ban on eating mince pies on Christmas Day, which dates back to the 17th century and was originally designed to outlaw gluttony during the rule of the Puritan [en:Oliver Crowmell]. The laws and other regulations were culled from published research into ancient legislation that has never been repealed although subsequent statutes have rendered them obsolete. Respondents were given a shortlist and asked to vote. Most ridiculous British law: ...

Guinness Domino ads

After a lot of unmotivated comments (for the quality of the Movie itself) about my post about Domino Harvey, I finally have another Domino to talk about. This is an ads going on in the UK TV. It’s from Guinness, one of the most strong-tasty (I say “not very much good tasty”), beer that you can find in any pub here. But the advert is very very good ;) Title: Guinness Tipping Point Domino advert Abstract: New Guinness Advert - only previously available to those who solved the puzzles on the Guinness website! ...

Giorni Dispari

> Title: Giorni Dispari (Divenire Tour2007) Author: Ludovico Einaudi The piano is a “frightening” instrument for me. I have a lot of walls. I have thousands of bricks making these walls. I have my castle that helps me to fight against all the bad things. But the piano is like an earthquake that destroy everything around. And it leaves me alone with my self. A terrible comparison between the exterior me and the interior me. Two sides of the same person, that can’t live together in the same place: at least one must die. Or disappear. ...

101 days in the Big City

Taipei 101: The tallest building in the world since 2004 This is my 101 days. Writing a post on the 100 (50 * 2) was just too obvious ;) A lot of things are changed, and a lot are still changing. My life is stable like an Elephant on the point of a needle. The Big City has giving a lot to my “maturation process” as Software Engineer, but it’s not just gold because it sparkle, is it? But it worth it. We come out of University thinking “we deserve the best”, but we don’t. At least, we don’t yet. I’m figuring out, every day much more clearly, that University is just a gym, and whatever we did there, it is just not enough for the business world. ...

Stroustrup: an overview about C++0x

A good programming language is far more than a simple collection of features. My ideal is to provide a set of facilities that smoothly work together to support design and programming styles of a generality beyond my imagination. Here, I briefly outline rules of thumb (guidelines, principles) that are being applied in the design of [en:C++0x]. Then, I present the state of the standards process (we are aiming for C++09) and give examples of a few of the proposals such as concepts, generalized initialization, being considered in the ISO [en:C++] standards committee. Since there are far more proposals than could be presented in an hour, I’ll take questions. ...
