While internet was celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, I remembered where all my passion begun. It was at school, 1982, a professor and his personal ZX81. Wow! The ZX81 came with 1 kB of on-board memory that could be expanded externally to 16 kB. Its single circuit board is housed inside a wedge-shaped [...]

Some facts from Gartner Magic Quadrant for ECM 2011: Enterprise content management (ECM) spending actually grew, by 5.1% in 2009 and by 7.6% in 2010. ECM software revenue alone was $3.9 billion in 2010. And Gartner projects this growth will continue — at an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.4% through 2015. In [...]


Dice che di notte, invece di guardare Marzullo, imparava a programmare; autodidatta, anche grazie a Codecademy. Adesso, dopo aver venduto il suo Instagram a Facebook, si ritrova in tasca un bel gruzzoletto (400 milioni di dollari?). Sto parlando di Kevin Systrom. Poi scopri che non è proprio del tutto così vero (notti, autodidatta, programmare), ma il risultato [...]


AETs are any techniques that allow an intruder to evade or bypass security detection during a network-based attack. What makes them advanced? The evasion can be changed or modified during the exploit. A combination of evasions can be executed on multiple protocol layers simultaneously.

Della faccenda “Doggy Style“, il kamasutra ministeriale, hanno scritto in tanti (e perché no?!? di là davano Sanremo!). Faccio solo notare una cosa; Google Translate, dall’inglese all’italiano traduce così: eng: ‘From sheep to Doggy Style’ traceability of milk chain in Tuscany. ita: ‘Dalla pecora al pecorino’ tracciabilità di filiera del latte in Toscana. Al contrario, invece, dall’italiano [...]


If you happen to come to London, pay a visit to the Spitalfields Market, the city’s oldest market. In front of it, where in the past there was the City of London Fruit & Wool Exchange, you can find the Sourcesense UK office. Your host David -colleague and friend- pictured here, second from left in a photo [...]


Nell’imparare la lingua inglese mai sottovalutare la pronuncia. Altrimenti succede che (se) vi intercettano, venite mal interpretati e finite nei guai. Dall’Eco di Bergamo: La Big Babol non era la tangente. Orietta Rocca disse «big brothers» Era stata scodellata anche l’esegesi cromatica per quella definizione in codice: «Big Babol», le famose gomme da masticare tendenti al [...]

Non lo sapevo e per me, come per Nick, è stata una sorpresa. In sintesi: nel 18esimo secolo Americani ed Inglesi avevano lo stesso accento (più o meno, è una semplificazione, ma rende bene l’idea). A partire da quel momento gli abitanti del sud dell’Inghilterra, soprattutto quelli delle classi più agiate, iniziarono a parlare sempre [...]


Seen on TV last night: nice to go back in time! Red Hat Films is proud to unveil this documentary looking at the past, present, and future of Red Hat and the evolution of open source. Take a look back at the beginnings of open source, and its growth through the 80s and 90s. Meet [...]


Having read Marco‘s yesterday message (no, not this one you sly editor! This one instead), I was trying to help him in finding “something challenging, different”, a new book to read. Here’s my proposal: a very non-technical book, usually boring since the subject (“Sales”), but short, honest and ingenious. The electronic version is free and can [...]


I’m happy. I was eight when many relatives gathered at my parents’ house for a eat & drink party; they had just said goodbye for the last time to uncle Gino, who passed away few days before. I asked my father: “Uncle Gino is no more with us, why are you all celebrating?” He replied: [...]

Dal New York Times: VISITORS to Italy tend to seek its sunny, Dionysian side — vino, pasta, opera, cinquecento art, George Clooney on a Vespa. But, like a chilly draft on a hot day, Italy’s gothic angle offers intimations of darkness that make a moment on the piazza even more delicious. Consciously or not, anyone sipping prosecco at [...]


Uno dei molti elementi, a mio avviso, che ostacolerebbero un’eventuale diffusione del servizio qui da noi; penso anche ad assicurazioni, polizie municipali, posteggiatori, incivili e ladruncoli vari (può bastare?!?). Wheelz resta, comunque, un’idea molto carina. (via TNW) Thinking about smartcards piracy here in Italy. One of the reasons why, IMHO, it’d be quite impossible getting the service here; I’m [...]


La cronaca della giornata odierna in Parlamento la trovate ovunque online, quindi non ve la racconto (qui quella del Corriere e qui la sintesi riportata da Giglioli). Vado, invece, alla ricerca di curiosità e particolari; oggi per segnalare la bionda Onorevole, fianco sinistro del Reguzzoni, ed il suo battere le mani, in totale asincronia con le voci [...]


Questo il “motivetto” che m’accompagna durante questa lunga giornata uggiosa Milanese. Niente male, vero?   This is the song that accompanies me during this long gloomy day in Milan. Not bad, right?
