Ordine e cassa
Leggendo i referer di questo sito, ho scoperto che qualcuno l’ha raggiunto interrogando un motore di ricerca per Che vantaggi ho ad essere iscritto all’Ordine degli Ingegneri Come si dice in questi casi “poche idee ma confuse”. :) Non è un discorso di vantaggi: non c’è molto da scegliere, si deve seguire la legge. Se [...]
Six words are enough
A friend has indirectly drawn my attention to an old issue of Wired, where it says that Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words (“For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”) and is said to have called it his best work. The proposed game is to write a biography using only six words. Already [...]
Deep thoughts hardly vanish
Reading the referers of this website, I found that someone reached it querying a search engine for Why do we need to do a campfire at night? Perphaps this is not the right question: a better question would be “Why do we want to have a campfire at night?”. We don’t live in the wilderness [...]
Non solo PD :)
Da un paio di giorni è partita la corsa al massacro del sito del Partito Democratico. :) Non voglio partecipare a questo gioco ma, avendo sollevato (privatamente purtroppo, non sul blog) in tempi non sospetti le mie brave critiche tecniche, voglio proporre un’estensione dell’idea. Ho guardato i siti dei partiti con rappresentanza parlamentare: stendendo un [...]
Real life (6)
How many (supposed) developers does it take to enhance with a shiny 404 the enterprise version of one of the biggest Euro-zone e-banking websites? Just one… who occasionally puts cute C:\my_path> inside hrefs!
Yes we can. Really? :)
Dear Walter, our Country is so messy that to start using English slogans is something we really don’t need, not at all. I know that, before “Yes we can”, you’ve already used “I care” but please, try to refrain yourself from this bad habit. :)
When a news page doesn’t offer a feed
Yesterday TrueCrypt 5.0 was released. Unfortunately, they don’t use a feed to announce their news. An old question of mine is: how to get noticed when a webpage changes? A simple but effective answer is: to check periodically its changes with something like curl -s http://www.truecrypt.org/news.php | sha512sum This is not a complete script but [...]
Un’occasione persa?
Sono iscritto alla Associazione Coscioni e il prossimo 16 febbraio, si terrà a Salerno la riunione dei blogger laici al VI Congresso dell’associazione stessa: quando Metilparaben mi mandò l’invito, risposi con la seguente mail (misi in copia anche l’associazione). Ciao. Ti ringrazio per l’invito a Salerno: purtroppo non potrò esserci ma certamente scriverò a proposito [...]
4 lessons 4 the enterprises :)
Even though approximately 40% of the Top 100 Technorati CMS/blogs are PHP-based, a good cut of the Top 50 websites (or Top 500?) makes a deep use of PHP many enterprises continue to walk the wrong path in their web strategies (I won’t write the name of the programming language I ‘m talking about :D).

Inserting raw HTML code in MediaWiki
Someday this post could save you an hour: do you need to insert raw HTML code in MediaWiki (for example, an internal image that links to an external website)? Configure it to use $wgRawHtml (its page says that it is safe to use it only if your site is not publicly editable). I can’t say [...]
