Servivano i morti?
Piove da una settimana… eppure, guardando un po’ di televisione, si continuavano a sentire i classici consigli estivi (bevete molto acqua, state all’ombra ecc) accompagnati da immagini di donne in costume per le strade del centro. Continuavo a chiedermi “ma sono anch’io in Italia?”. Freddo, influenza e pioggia… un maggio che ricordava molto marzo. Adesso, [...]
Il vento su Livorno
Nel tardo pomeriggio di un’ariosa giornata, si è forse alzato il vento. :)
Let’s fall together
Marco (extending the game to a common “business as usual” friend) has restricted an old meme of mine to a single point… the old one was about our worst predictions: that’s a good choice because trying to guess when Crude Oil would be exchanged at around 150 USD/barrel is both sad and hard. It’s sad [...]
favatars fixed for WordPress 2.5.x
You like to have a gravatar close to each comment of your blog but… what about an icon near your pingbacks/trackbacks? The solution is: use the favatars plugin.

Appena letta questa dichiarazione, mi è venuta in [...]

This release uses DokuHTTPClient instead of CURL, removing a dependence and handling the proxy settings automatically (as suggested by Andreas Gohr).
Samsung SyncMaster 245B with Kubuntu
The Samsung SyncMaster 245B is a 24” TFT monitor that works at 1900×1200. I’ve waited for the release of Hardy to try it (my test was done with a video card recognized by lspci as ATI RV516 Radeon X1300/X1550 Pro). Surprisingly, Hardy chose the correct resolution at the first attempt! How simple in comparison to [...]
Given you meaning
Listening to “Clothes of sand” once again, I started to think about its sentence Given you meaning but taken my place How many times have I bartered my own nature for knowledge? I don’t see myself and I won’t anymore. Clothes of sand have covered your face
