Dieci

Un’altra piccola “perla” che dipinge Napoli come e’.
Niente “romanzazioni” ne “stereotipizzazioni”: “Napule” cosi’ com’e’ per i Napoletani.

Tristemente Bello.
Bravo Andrej Longo.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The Curious Case of Benjamin ButtonI hope the Movie is better than the Book.

It’s not a “bad book” in absolute values: it’s bad because it doesn’t follow it’s own logic.
If you write the story of a man that, on the side of the age goes from Old to Young, and on the side of the body size goes from Small to Big… don’t screw everything because you need to close the book in a “strange but appealing way”.

I saw the trailer of the movie, and sounds like this is one of the rare case were the Movie is better than the Book.

Let’s see.

Franz Kafka is an Idiot

I just read “The Metamorphosis”. And I liked it… until I reached the last page of it.
Where I understood that Franz Kafka is an Idiot.

I like of course very much the quality and Franz is, out of any doubt, a great novelist… but I totally disagree with the message, the perspective and the conclusion of it.

P.S. I read it with the great Stanza for iPhone.

Inferno in London

Galeotto fu il Post e Chi lo lesse ;)

Letto il primo capitolo: promette sorprese interessanti ;) .

Highlander di Alluminio

Coca di fianco al mio MBP.
Una mano agitata di troppo (e’ la mia natura, non ci posso fare niente).
Una superficie di alluminio e plastica metallizzata… ricoperta interamente di friccicante coca.
Spegnimento istantaneo automatico (ancora non so perche’, ma dalla velocita’ e l’immediatezza assumo sia presente un sensore water-proof).
1299 pound che salutano con la manina, insieme ad una quantita’ infinita di dati dal valore inestimabile.

Iastemme di tutti i tipi. Richiesta di aiuto (prima in Italiano, poi in Inglese).
3 disperati che tentano di asciugare per salvare il salvabile.

Lasciato sotto sopra ad asciugare tutta la notte.

Al mattino, alimentatore, MegSafe, power-button: DOOOOOOONG!!!
Il classico suono del mio amato amico/figlio/compagno.
Una finesta si apre con “l’ultimo Update per Google App Engine”.
Tutto funge. :)

Alcuni tasti sono un po’ “azzeccosi”: oggi lo apro e vai di alcool denaturato per rimuovere le impurita’.

Grazie Steve.

Symbian OS explained by Andrew Tanenbaum

Andrew Tanenbaum recently released the 3rd edition of Modern Operating Systems, and there is a brand new chapter about Symbian OS.

Prof. Andrew Tanenbaum – Sexy, isn’t it? ;)

I think that this is a reflection of the importance that Symbian OS has at present. This also means that more people will probably learn about Symbian OS as part of their university courses.
Thanks for the interest Andy.

I’ll buy it (or borrow from our library) very soon ;-) .
