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 [...]
Notes about TPCI 2008-05
The TPCI May Headline is PowerShell on its way to the top 20 As you know, I don’t code on Windows regularly :) but after a quick look at this sample screenshot, PowerShell seems to me very… powerful. :) Perhaps a good part of its power resides on its blendable, UNIX-like nature. :)
Please forgive them
Reading the referers of this website, I found that someone reached it querying a search engine for Is Nick Drake really dead? I’ve got three words to say: shame on you.
The five holy reasons
I think that I can list five main reasons to explain why good suggestions are so hard to follow (and it doesn’t matter if we are talking about the economy of a country or the settings of a GNU/Linux server). we are lazy we are unskilled we would like to make clear to everybody that [...]
100 USD each

Real life (5)
How many (supposed) content editors does it take to completely throw away a CMS? Just one… with a stolen upload account.
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. :)
Windows Forensic Analysis
Yes, like Candide, we’ve learnt that we do not live in the “best of all possible worlds”: there are so many PCs seduced by dark sided OSes that we have to deal with them… because, as I’ve already written, customers, friends and relatives use them. This book might help you when the problem that you [...]
Simmetrie italiane
Ho appena scritto sul distacco storico e, forse per dar forza al post precedente :), guardo ora la fotografia che Cristiano ci propone: vedo un estintore e una pistola: un ipotetico convegno “La pistola come strumento di pace”, con un titolo simmetricamente provocatorio, organizzato dallo schieramento opposto ma nello stesso luogo, quanti post nei blog [...]
