[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!!! ...

Non prendermi sul serio. Io non scherzo mai! Don’t take me seriously. I never joke! Me. ;)

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.

No, I have not a Facebook account. It’s just a friend of mine, Vidula, that has putted pictures of us (Lennart, Sebastian, Serage, Vidula and me). How ugly I’m? :(

A friend of mine (one of the Best’s ;)) will do the Final Exam… just Tomorrow (28th of May 2007)! I’m now in London and the exam will be in Naples, so… I’ll not be present :( . But my Soul, my Friendship and my Heart will be there… Good Luck Grace P.S.: Ti voglio un Mondo di Bene!!!

Almost 5 weeks ago a collegues (and now friend) of mine was wondering about the name of “Champagne”: … Wines from the Champagne region were already known before medieval times. Churches owned vineyards, and monks produced wine for use in the sacrament of Eucharist. French kings were traditionally anointed in Reims. Champagne wine flowed as part of coronation festivities. Kings appreciated the still, light, and crisp wine, and offered it as an homage to other monarchs in Europe. In the 17th century, still wines of Champagne were the chosen wines for celebration in European countries. The English were the biggest consumers of Champagne wines, and drank a lot of sparkling wines. … ...

It’s the name of a very funny (and smart) campain of the “British Heart Foundation”, that wants to help any “over 50” (but why not also “under 50” ;-) ) to take “30 Minuts everyday” to do… something good for their hearts. The [en:British_Heart_Foundation|B.H.F.] has make a lot of funny ads (there are a lot of them everywhere here in London). My favourite? The answer could not be more obvious. ...
