Dashcode public beta released

If you have an ADC (Apple Developer Connection) account and you are interested in Widget’s Development, probably you’ll consider interesting to know that Apple have released the beta of Dashcode. Personally, I’m not a Dashboard lover. I have disabled it few days after Tiger Installation: it wolf down much too much memory… and, if I need a “small-service-app”, I use an equivalent web-page or normal-app. Source, Melablog.

Come evitare i Memory Leaks in C++

Per chi non conoscesse la definizione di Memory Leaks… non vale la pena andare oltre ;) A chi invece la conosce, consiglio di dare una lettura (anche veloce) al post pubblicato su Programming Languages Hacks. Davvero interessante, semplice ed istruttivo: cose che si potrebbero dedurre da uno studio attento del concetto di Memoria e Processi unito alla programmazione C/C++… ma una ripassata non fa mai male ;). Un ringraziamento all’Autore, ricibald.

Why I love UK? A not so serious Monarchy

The Queen have started to make a series of Podcast about her Speeches. This service is offered by the British Monarchy Media Center. It’s not so important, but this is a sing of the young of this Monarchy, with a big, rich and important story, but the ability to reorder and resync itself respect the changeing world. Every English person does not see the Queen as a Power, but as a Symbol. A Symbol of the History, the Tradition, the Importance. ...

Why I love UK? Transports and Related Services

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. ...

Machintosh può farvi più Felici!

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. ;)
