Closing the top posts list
After a few years of monthly updates, I stopped publishing the top posts list of this blog because it has been almost stable for many months so the following is the last one.

Paesi visitabili con la Carta di Identità
Tempo di vacanze? Ecco la mappa dei Paesi visitabili con la sola Carta di Identità (un paio potrebbero richiedere qualche pratica extra ma l’elenco è questo). La lista l’ho ottenuta attraverso diverse pagine di Wikipedia, mentre per disegnarla, ho usato la libreria Geochart dei Google Chart Tools. Il codice JavaScript, con l’elenco ordinato dei Paesi, [...]
Brevi note sul primitivismo
La mia esperienza in Rientrodolce si è conclusa e queste note, con grande incoerenza, sono state abbozzate viaggiando verso due capitali: la prima in aereo e la seconda in treno.

Chunking Base64 binary data in Java
I’m not an expert but it seems to me that the different methods to encode as Base64 a *binary* stream exposed by Apache Commons don’t chunk for binary inputs or don’t chunk at all, in spite of what their documentation states. So let me write here a little snippet, which uses guava-libraries, for an already [...]
A tentatively nightfall runner
I like nightfall running and, while the darkness lets me breathe better, it also helps me not to look so clumsy. :)
Debian 6 VirtualBox image
There is not a VirtualBox image of Debian GNU/Linux 6 on VirtualBoxes: I’ve created a new minimal version starting from debian-6.0.0-i386-netinst.iso. This is the sequence of choices of the installation procedure (almost defaults). English United States American English debian {empty} deb2011! deb2011! Debian User mdeb deb2011! deb2011!
