Bollettini vari :)
Si deve essere diffusa la notizia, tra le varie ONLUS italiane, che ho la lacrima e il portafoglio facile, sopratutto quest’anno. :) Con l’approssimarsi di quel giorno, mi arrivano parecchie richieste di versamenti con bollettino postale: tra le varie, c’era anche Amnesty Italia, alla quale ero iscritto negli anni ’90 e che, per motivi sui [...]
XHTML Strict YouTube video snippet
This is just a short reminder for me and a note for you on how to write a valid XHTML strict snippet to insert a YouTube video. <p> <object id="video_o" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/JaJbDln7oGA" width="560" height="340"> <param id="video_p" name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JaJbDln7oGA" /><img src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JaJbDln7oGA" width="560" height="340" alt="titolo_video" /> </object> </p>
Iomega Storcenter ix2
I’ve bought a Iomega Storcenter ix2 which should be a 1 TB NAS and even though it offers a good list of features, I’m sorry to say that I’m quite disappointed with it. In the previous sentence, I wrote “should be” rather than “is” because its interface shows a warning like “second disk missing” so [...]
MarkerClusterer clearMarkers bugfix
(This should be a crosspost written with Massimiliano) It seems that MarkerClusterer has a bug, fixed with this patch (*) written by Massimiliano while we were hunting together for it on this application (now working fine): after the ajax submit and zooming out, the library was still displaying old clusters and markers, because, after destroying [...]
Measuring 3G signal strength
Often I have to use my Huawei E176 (which I previously described) inside an area not so well covered by HSDPA signal: in order to increase the bandwith I can use, I bought a 5 dBi GPRS/UMTS antenna. Does it work well? Answering is measuring. :) Thanks to the very good list of AT commands [...]
Consumo di territorio
Pare che fino a pochi secoli fa, la Pianura Padana equivalesse a circa un terzo della terra fertile afferente al Mediterraneo: non sono in grado di riportare un riferimento bibliografico ma non mi sembra un dato inverosimile. Potrei aggiungere molte cose ma sarebbero meno importanti delle seguenti azioni minime: visitare il sito di Stop Al [...]
Chrome, don’t be hypocritical
Google describes the private browsing feature of Chrome as something useful (…) for times when you want to (…) plan surprises like gifts or birthdays Was this feature conceived to help the average user to hide their e-commerce browsing history? I really don’t think so. Their informal motto is “don’t be evil“: I’d change it [...]
Blog Action Day: climate change
Having registered this website on the Blog Action Day, I’ll try to write here some notes about climate change. On their website, it’s stated that (Climate change) threatens to cause famine, flooding, war, and millions of refugees. Even though it is undoubtedly true, I’m still persuaded that it’s only a consequence of the deep faith [...]
Il software libero in Italia
L’accordo con Andrea era di non scriverne fino alla pubblicazione, che ora grazie a Stefano scopro essere avvenuta. È quindi uscito il volume “Il software libero in Italia“, al quale ho contribuito con la prima stesura del capitolo sull’Italian Linux Society e knopILS.
