Mea Culpa :)
It’s too easy to quote one of the well known sentences of Bill Gates, like: Spam will be a thing of the past in two years’ time. BBC News (24 January 2004) and make fun of him, because everyone has skeletons in their closet; so I would like to spread a new meme: quote one [...]
An accessible email cloaking technique
I suppose that you do not write your email on webpages but if you have to deal with people that do want to, you have to find some trick to protect them. I’ve found a good list of techniques to achieve this task but when you can’t use anything like CSS, images or JavaScript it’s [...]
What is my brain age? :)
After two weeks of training, I’m glad to announce that yesterday Dr. Kawashima stated that my brain is one year younger than my real age… and I’m still not seduced by non-free-software. :) Update (2007-09-28): four years younger. :)
20 settembre (2007)
Quando un ebreo piemontese, il Capitano Segre, ordinò alla sua batteria di cannoni di aprire il fuoco, i cattolici liberali l’Unità d’Italia l’avevano praticamente già fatta. Dopo il fascismo, per troppi anni a ricordare Porta Pia restarono solo radicali, massoni e pochi altri. Da qualche tempo, infine, l’ex-comunista Grillini vorrebbe giustamente che tornasse festa nazionale: [...]
Hackergotchi sul planet di ILS
Come richiesto da Stefano – che ora mi deve come minimo un pingback :) – ho attivato gli hackergotchi sul planet di ILS: chi vuole può mandarmi il proprio (un PNG di 65 pixel di larghezza e 85 di altezza… o comunque con almeno una di queste dimensioni). Per creare il mio ho seguito questo [...]
Top ten Italian songs of all times
Reading the referers of this website, I found that someone reached it querying a search engine for Top ten Italian songs of all times It is rather hard to draft such a list… anyhow this one is a good candidate (even though it contains twelve songs because I wasn’t able to discard two of them). [...]
Our most prominent F-es
I noticed that three things that Italians love most can be written in English with words beginning with F: football, food and family There is of course another prominent F-word but it is not English at all (no, I’m not talking about Ferrari). :)
Ossimori postmoderni
Un quotidiano (locale?), descrivendo un accampamento abusivo, ipotizza (…) una soffiata arrivata dagli ambienti dei sinti, nomadi stanziali che nulla hanno a che fare (…) Dopo i nomadi stanziali, resto in attesa di un pezzo sulle vergini ninfomani…
Don’t be silly! :)
What is a poser? An old definition is Someone who talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk There could be many reasons for being a poser, with the most common being the walk is over your head; you are too cowardly or lazy to walk the walk. Reading the referers of this website, I [...]
A trivial patch for the Joomla 1.5.x installer
I’m not a fan of safe_mode and open_basedir (even before talking to Zeev Suraski when I learnt that it will be removed in PHP 6). Surprisingly, sometimes an easy to find set of safe_mode related bugs, viewed by thousands of eyes, survives for ages. I’ve just sent this trivial patch for the upcoming Joomla 1.5.
