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”. ...

When I began this newexperience, during the BootCamp, a Teacher/Employee of Symbian, L.Simpson (yep, “Simpson” :-D ) said: Wellcome to the Big City!!! He was referring to the amount of code [en:Symbian OS] is made of. But I think it can be applied to everything here. The feeling of being part of something big. It is Frightful… but Fascinating and Stimulanting too. Actually, I’m (and I’ll be for a lot) “no one” here… but I see a lot of young guys like me doing important things. And this is the most stimulating thing: I Could! ...

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.

I already knew this service… but only now I’m becoming addicted!!! There is nothing better during the working day. Simply. Smart. Nice. Fast. And… it Work! You can follow me on Last.FM using the “widget” on the right (look at the sidebar).

[en:London] is one of the best place… if you want to steal an iPod: as average, every train in the tube has 10 iPods inside. And other 5 are inside any bus. But, because of this, the number of pod-snatching is very very high, and you can see in every station (particularly in Camden Town ;)) ads suggesting to “take care of your belongings”, a lot of them dedicated to the [en:iPod|Pod] of [en:Steve_Jobs|Jobs]. But now, there is a solution: and it comes from the smallest (LOL) competitor of iPod: [en:Zune|The MS Zune]!!! It is called Hide-a-Pod!!! ...

Ieri sono passato, come di consueto, su OSS|Blog.it e cosa ci trovo? Un brevissimo articolo su alcuni commenti che Nigel Clifford, CEO di Symbian, ha fatto su Linux e sul mercato degli smartphone con i piedi palmati. Ho provato ad inserire la mia risposta sul relativo post… ma niente. Dice che sto spammando. Quindi… provvedo a farlo da qui. Allora. Prima di essere assunto da Symbian, quando iniziai a studiarne la tecnologia e il Sistema Operativo, mi domandai come diavolo facevano a vendere una cosa così: Niente Eccezioni (Leave), niente (o quasi) thread (Active Objects), niente POSIX (almeno fino a quando mi hanno assunto, che è coinciso con il rilascio di P.I.P.S.), e… niente STL (ma staremo a vedere ancora per quanto ;) ). ...

Dopo tanto tempo, un post in Italiano. Sono qui solo per segnalarvi che la mia Tesi su “Asterisk e JPound” (per qualche oscuro motivo a me ignoto ;) ) e’ stata pubblicata su Java Italian Portal tra i Tutorial (???). Spero che qualcuno possa trovarla utile a fini didattici, dato che non ho potuto continuare il suo sviluppo.
