No, Ferragosto is an Italian Holiday only. Here we are working (quite) hard. But a break is allowed to everyone, isn’t it? I found this “extract” of Selected Writings on Computing: A Personal Perspective, by Edsger W. Dijkstra (Springer-Verlag, 1982. ISBN 0–387–90652–5). ...
I wrote about Hadoop some time ago (for “some reasons”) and I did EXACTLY what Ted Dziubas says here. But I’m not offended at all: he is 100% right! And I strongly suggest to take a look at this article: in the middle of his swearing there is, actually, some good stuff about “what is going on in the Web2.0 Yet Again Exploding Bubble!!!
Ma che sfaccimm!!! A 3 giri dalla fine? -_-
No, I’m not Dead. I’m just “very Busy” guys ;) A lot of things are happening at the same time: as soon as I have more time I’ll speak about it. I’ll just make a list of things I would like to speak about… if I would have time to do so: My new Job in France Telecom R&D UK - Orange Labs and my work inside the Source of Webkit (and a bit of Opera) ...
Galeotto fu il Post e Chi lo lesse ;) [](http://picasaweb.google.com/detronizator/InfernoInLondon)[Inferno in London](http://picasaweb.google.com/detronizator/InfernoInLondon) Letto il primo capitolo: promette sorprese interessanti ;) .
No, il Cinguettio questa volta non basta. Ho una domanda per tutti gli utilizzatori di [en:Microsoft Windows] che mi seguono:: MA COME CAZZO FATE AD USARE QUELLA LOTA DI SISTEMA OPERATIVO? ho perso tipo 2 settimane un mese fa a configurarlo per bene in una partizione dedicato ho installato numero 2 giochi ([en:Gears of War] e [en:Race Driver: Grid], due grandissimi giochi) per il puro piacere di dire «Anche io ogni tanto torno bimbio e spendo qualche ora a giocare» ...
I love this song. It’s just amazing: I loved it even before I read the Lyrics. And, actually, that’s the incredible things: no one seems to be “sure” about what exactly is the mean. Someone says it’s about Jesus (quite unlikly from my point of view: to see Jesus in there you need to “stretch” the meaning). The other, more accredited belief, is that it’s about Napoleon (the cover of the CD and a lot of what is said in the lyrics is adherent and coherent with this option). But, as I said, I loved eat even before I read the full lyrics. It made me feel inspired. And made me think about love, life, my past, my present and my next leap. Probably more because of the great music and instruments than by the lyrics itself. Well done Coldplay ;) … but, wait a minute! On Wikipedia, in the page about this album, there is this section about Chris Martin: […] Q magazine asked Chris Martin about the line “I know Saint Peter won’t call my name” sung in “Viva la Vida”. Martin replied: “It’s about… You’re not on the list. I was a naughty boy. It’s always fascinated me that idea of finishing your life and then being analyzed on it. And it’s that runs through most religions. That’s why people blow up buildings. Because they think they’re going to get lots of virgins. I always feel like saying, Just join a band (laughs). That is the most frightening thing you could possibly say to somebody. Eternal damnation. I know about this stuff because I studied it. I was into it all. I know it. It’s still mildly terrifying to me. And this is serious.” […] So, looks like they are really into some religious message (or sort of it). Probably, just fascinated by the “figure” of Jesus himself. Anyway, Enjoy! ;-) ...
Devo resistere. In fondo a cosa mi serve il [en:GPS] ed il [en:3G]? Ad andare piu’ veloce e piu’ facilmente (dato che la copertura 3G e’ di gran lunga superiore a quella 2.5G)? A poter andare in giro come turista e avere una mappa che mi localizza in maniera ancora piu’ precisa? Il [en:2.5G] e’ piu’ che sufficiente per: navigare siti web e, soprattutto, email. Il locationing basato su Triangolazione basta e avanza con uno che ha un buon senso dell’orientamento come me, e permette di imparare anche meglio i luoghi, pur usufruendo della mappa se davvero mi perdo. ...
Ma come si fa a mangiare un formaggio francese, che e’ la spudorata copia del Bel Paese (ma con in piu’ quel tocco di roba verde ammuffita sopra… -_- ), e Baguette alle 9 e 30 del mattino? Io mi tengo il mio caffe’ ed i cockie che mi sono mangiato prima di scendere… ;)
You know, I’m picky when it’s about woman and technology (and food, but not as much as for the previous). Apple, a while ago now, get rid of the the normal/classical keyboard with big and deep keys (that every proper geek/software engineer loves)… … to replace it with the crap, ultra slim, no-noisy, no-tasty, no-feedback alluminum+plastic keyboard. A shame. A real shame. ...
