i felt into white-rabbit’s house

I just have met the coolest people I could have thought to meet.

Just telling about some projects/group… FSFE, CCC, GPG, OpenOffice.org, Jamendo… just in one evening, in one pub, in a group of 10 people…

…tomorrow I’ll have dinner out with people of CCC (Chaos Computer Club) of Duesseldorf – [I know… you all hate me right now ๐Ÿ˜€ ]

p.s. the 23th August Prof. Tanenbaum will be here for a conference!!!! …damn! I’ll be in Ireland ๐Ÿ˜ฆ (I’d have liked to let him sign my copy of Structured Computer Organization)

automated testing

On the flight from Dusseldorf, I was reading a book given to me by my friend FCHouse.com about PHP Unit automated testing suite. Well, ages ago from how 99% of the common developers usually code in php. Even ages ago from how every big company developes its own software internally. basically the big problem of that type of approach is the time to market. That stuff could work in a bank, or in a company like Boeing, but not in company where projects born and die every 6 months. Or even in an year. I have to find out, as soon as I catch FCHouse.com again, how to introduce this without affecting too much the standard way of working of the developers, or at least, how to let them accept this way of working. If it is not accepted by every shareholder, it is useless, even dangerous for the project itself.

100% wool

a cover for an iPod/iPhone… … … a cover for what?????????????? ๐Ÿ˜€
(I saw it on the shelfs of an Apple store in the centre of Duesseldorf)

ok… take a plastic stick… scratch it into a sheet of wool… than take the stick next to some small paper pieces… what’s happening? The paper pieces stay glued to the plastic stick! Why? Because of electrostatic energy!

The effect between the iPod and the cover… is exactly the same… but… circuits… DO NOT LIKE electrostatic energy AT ALL!!!

It is crazy how… damn… “beata ignoranza”!
