First they came for the communists

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out–
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out–
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out–
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out–
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me–
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

“Prima di tutto vennero a prendere gli zingari, e fui contento perchè rubacchiavano.
Poi vennero a prendere gli ebrei, e stetti zitto perchè mi stavano antipatici.
Poi vennero a prendere gli omosessuali, e fui sollevato perché mi erano fastidiosi.
Poi vennero a prendere i comunisti, ed io non dissi niente perchè non ero comunista.
Un giorno vennero a prendere me, e non c’era rimasto nessuno a protestare”

culture integration

I look at my country, the racism increasing, day by day. I cannot understand why my country is taking again the path to fascism and intollerance. I cannot…

Here, in the current company I’m working for, there are people from everywhere in the world. This months many colleagues are fasting and praying for the Ramadan. I’m surprised how they can afford to eat and drink after 20:00, sleep 6 hours between 2a.m. to 8a.m. and be perfectly doing their job. Cause they do, and they do not drink a single drop of water all the day long till the evening.

In my family we used not to eat meat during on Good Friday during the Lent. Now I’m not used to it anymore (I’m Agnostic), but… it is astonishing how my muslism colleagues respect their traditions.

We are all together in the same office, and we respect and collaborate together to do our job tasks.

Why the world cannot be like this office?

Why religious wars?

Why intollerance to foreigners?

Why? 😦

in Belgium, tonight… not bad! 😀

p.s. forget to fly from Charleroi… too far. Next time… train to Frankfurt car to Frankfurt HAHN + RyanAir to Bergamo

p.s.(2) @Andrea: li mortacci tua! … k, devo trovare un’altra compagnia aerea da Francoforte (city airport) se voglio usare la soluzione treno … domani vedo di cancellare le prenotazioni fatte x il treno. O cancello la Ryan?

scary functionality from RIAA

got a Mac? like me? you idiot!

look this…

I got an mp3 from a friend, on skype, and it was directly tracked and iconed by the filemanager. Iconed? Yes… the filemanager has immediately searched on the internet for the album it was belonging to and has added the proper album image to it. How can it do it? Simple, digging the ID3 tags present in the audio file. I wonder who else can know that my filesystem has requested those informations…

privacy… something unknown to lots of people,
and companies, RIAA in primis

@Carlo: fuck you! I was so fucking scared… @All: the icon was embedded by iTunes at the source, so no fear (maybe…) 😀

how to avoid Malpensa

An airport in the middle of nothing (I have to rent a car everytime I go to my parents) and with a fucking crowded city (Milan) on the way to…

…so, thanks to the management of Airberlin which decided to move the flight DUS / BGY to DUS / MXP … I had to search for an alternative to fly to Orio al Serio (BGY)… and I found it, at the end.

I’ll fly from Bruxelles Charleroi (CRL). Why not Weeze? Because it is useless in business time hours.

p.s. forget to park at Malpensa (MXP) … they’ll try to fuck you in the best italian style

p.s.(2) I just booked a flight for tomorrow morning (saturday)… here is the cost of the parking (with no hidden jokes!!!)
