Le congratulazioni non bastano

sabato 26 dicembre 2009

I pochi lettori affezionati di questo blog sanno che la mia tendenza assolutistica mi porta spesso a scrivere sopra i massimi sistemi piuttosto che di cose comuni o accadimenti personali.
In questo post mi sento di fare uno strappo alla regola per celebrare un importante risultato dell'amico Maurizio Collu. A chi non conoscesse il personaggio, consiglio una visita al suo sito web dove scoprirete i suoi interessi e qualche cosa della sua brillante carriera scientifica.
In questo post, tuttavia, desidero rendere pubblico omaggio a un importante traguardo che ha raggiunto pochi giorni fa: la pubblicazione di un suo articolo sulla prestigiosa rivista della Royal Society.

Il cloruro di sodio scorre a fiumi

giovedì 24 dicembre 2009

In questi giorni, le pagine dei quotidiani sono piene delle solite discussioni vuote sul maltempo, sui disagi, sulla prevenzione e sulle soluzioni. In sostanza una montagna di chiacchiere su argomenti che domani saranno vecchi e che ricominceremo a trattare in maniera identicamente uguale alla prossima nevicata, senza naturalmente aver fatto un passo in avanti nel frattempo. Insieme a queste polemiche, a volte troviamo vere e proprie perle di saggezza. Sul Corriere della Sera di oggi, leggo a pagina 11 che negli Stati Uniti l'uso del sale contro il gelo è bandito.
Incredibile, mi dico, chissà quale tecnologia avanzata avranno studiato gli USA per far fronte a una tale piaga. Leggo quindi il trafiletto e ci penso sopra.
Risulta in prima istanza che il sale sia dannoso per la vegetazione e per gli animali. In effetti, penso, aumentare la salinità all'interno del corpo porta problemi vari dovuti alla errata attività osmotica che deve lavorare per abbassare la concentrazione salina con il rischio di uno squilibrio elettrolitico. Per quanto l'allarme mi sembri un po' esagerato, sicuramente la cosa ha un senso.
Come hanno risolto il problema in America? L'articolo dice con la brine: una mistura di cloruro di sodio e acqua.
Bene ragioniamoci sopra un attimo.

La potenza del Marchio

Il blog di Matteo Flora è sempre fonte di notizie interessanti. Confesso di aver rubato da un suo post il link a un curioso filmato, naturalmente proveniente da YouTube.
Lo incorporo qui sotto nel proseguio del post, prego il lettore di dargli una occhiata prima di continuare.
Dura solo poco più di un minuto ed è istruttivo, oltre che divertente.

L'Onda portante

martedì 2 giugno 2009

Ammetto candidamente di aver appreso della nascita di Google Wave da un quotidiano generico e di non essere stato abbastanza informato sul Google I/O per venire a conoscenza del prodotto in tempi più appropriati per una persona come me che lavora nel campo del ICT. Per rimediare a questa brutta figura, mi sono rivisto due volte in meno di un giorno il video della technical preview che si trova su Youtube e che ho incorporato più avanti nel post (vi consiglio anche di dare una occhiata al keynote della conferenza , è illuminante).
Su internet la notizia ha naturalmente fatto molto rumore: lo spettro delle voci va dagli entusiasti per partito preso, ovvero i fanatici di Google a ogni costo, agli scettici per nulla colpiti da questo annuncio. Normalmente io faccio parte della seconda categoria, ma questa volta devo dire di essere passato molto velocemente dalla parte degli entusiasti, ma non per partito preso.
Nel resto del post cercherò di spiegarvi il perché.

Star Trek 2.0

domenica 10 maggio 2009

La strada è stata lunga, non c'è dubbio, ma quando mi sono seduto in poltrona al cinema, mi è sembrata che tutta l'attesa non fosse durata se non un minuto. Naturalmente avete capito che mi sto accingendo a recensire e commentare il nuovo film di Star Trek diretto dall'ormai ubiquo J.J. Abrams e costruito dall'affiatato team che lo segue in tutte le produzioni.
Come tutti probabilmente sapete ,questo film è stato chiamato al difficile compito di risollevare le sorti del franchise di Star Trek non solo per quanto riguarda gli introiti monetari, ma anche per il gradimento presso i fans. La sfida era (ed è ancora) enorme e il risultato merita una analisi un poco approfondita, qui di seguito.

Sicurezza? Un armadio aperto

domenica 19 aprile 2009

Ci sono azioni apparentemente causali, normali e innocue che, a volte, mi accendono in testa una lampadina quando meno me lo aspetto. Questa mattina stavo guardando casualmente fuori dalla finestra quando ho notato un furgone in parcheggio (parcheggio, più o meno... diciamo mollato alla bell'e meglio sulle strisce pedonali, ma l'inciviltà non è l'oggetto del post). Sul tetto vedo due scale a pioli gialle e, nonostante la mancanza di insegne, deduco dalla sua dotazione standard che si tratti di un mezzo di Telecom Italia. Ne esce un tecnico di mezza età, con sigaretta, borsetta a tracolla e foglietto in mano, forse la stampa di una chiamata di assistenza tecnica. Dotazione standard del tecnico medio, insomma. Si avvicina alla colonnina che sta davanti a casa, la apre e collega al sua cuffia a un permutatore, evidentemente per testare il funzionamento della fonia su una linea, forse per una nuova installazione, forse per un guasto. Dopo pochi minuti il tecnico se ne va senza senza fare niente di particolare e per questo impiego un paio di minuti a capire che cosa avesse attirato la mia attenzione, evidentemente a un livello subconscio.

Green IT, andiamo oltre

domenica 15 marzo 2009

Negli ultimi anni è diventata pratica comune lasciare i Personal Computer sempre accessi (giorno, notte e fine settimana), non solo a casa, ma anche (e soprattutto) nelle azienda. Per quanto possa essere una semplificazione per alcuni aspetti (come vedremo fra poco), questa policy rappresenta anche uno spreco evidente. Non solo fa consumare energia elettrica in maniera quasi del tutto inutile, ma contribuisce in maniera rilevante all'inquinamento ambientale, specialmente per i Paesi che si servono di energia da fonte fossile (Italia in testa).

Atlantis, arrivederci e addio

domenica 8 febbraio 2009

I lettori appassionati di fantascienza sapranno senza dubbio che la serie Stargate Atlantis si è conclusa all'inizio di gennaio con il finale della quinta stagione che ha segnato il traguardo del 100° episodio, oltre al finale di serie, come detto.
Premetto che io non ho ancora visto l'ultima stagione della serie – FOX in Italia ha da poco concluso la quarta stagione – ma si è fatto un gran parlare delle serie, proprio perché il finale ha aperto il tempo dei bilanci, vorrei quindi approfittarne anch'io per commentare lo show.

Libri, che soddisfazione!

giovedì 25 dicembre 2008

libri; servizi; fotografia

libro Non è un caso che questa entry riporti la data di Natale: il nostro primo libro, infatti, è stato prima di tutto un regalo. Sì, esatto, ho scritto libro, non un fascicoli di fogli tenuto insieme da una copertina con colla a caldo o qualcosa di simile: intendo un libro vero.
Lo abbiamo sperimentato per la prima volta sulla nostra pelle, ma si tratta di un servizio che da oggi offriamo a tutti i clienti.
Per molte persone, scrivere un libro è rimasto un sogno nel cassetto, per anni, qualcuno in passato ha realizzato il sogno, altri non ci sono riusciti, per vari motivi.
La tecnologia moderna,semplificando la composizione così come la produzione di stampe digitali di alta qualità, estende al grande pubblico la possibilità di mettere nero su bianco - in questo caso, letteralmente - le proprie passioni.

Layout CSS, gioie e dolori

venerdì 7 novembre 2008

css; webdesign

Ovviamente non è la prima volta che progetto è realizzo un sito internet, è la prima volta, però, in cui ho deciso di utilizzare un layout già preconfezionato e di concentrarmi sul contenuto.
Per chi non lo sapesse esistono molti siti che offrono layout web basti su file CSS già bell'è pronti, con una grafica già tutta disegnata: vanno solo scaricati i relativi file, referenziati nelle pagine web e incasellati con le opportune classi nei fogli di stile. Si presume che questo permetta di evitare di costruire da zero interi siti, spesso esteticamente poco gradevoli e di dedicarsi al contenuto più che altro.
Non è tutto oro quello che luccica, come ho di recente scoperto.

Le scorie del giornalismo

venerdì 11 aprile 2008

Già altre volte mi è capitato di trattare questo argomento, ma il pressappochismo dei giornalisti nostrani è una fonte inesauribile di stupore e tristezza. Questo volta lo spunto per la scrittura di questa entry viene da un articolo a firma di Dacia Maraini apparso sul Corriere della Sera del 8 aprile scorso.
L'articolo tratta in maniera approssimativa l'argomento energia e scorie nucleari. Vi evito un riassunto e vi rimando direttamente alla versione integrale pubblicata sul sito.
Qualunque lettore dotato di buon senso e di un minimo di preparazione scientifica, può evidenziare le numerose imprecisioni e leggerezze presenti nel pezzo.

Del tutto senza Sapienza

sabato 19 gennaio 2008

Normalmente questo blog non tratta di argomenti di pura attualità, ma in questo caso la situazione è tanto grave da avermi colpito molto e, dopo fiumi di inchiostro versati in molti casi a sproposito, mi sono deciso a mettere anche la mia opinione nero su bianco.
Dal titolo è abbastanza ovvio che mi sto riferendo alla violenta controversia nata dalla prevista visita del Papa alla Università della Sapienza di Roma all'inaugurazione dell'anno accademico. In molti hanno partecipato al dibattito sui giornali e sulla TV, ma mi sembra che pochissimi abbiano effettivamente colto nel segno del problema, spero di riuscire a farlo io qui di seguito.

20 anni senza ragione

venerdì 7 dicembre 2007

Mai come in questo momento, l'argomento Energia Nucleare è all'ordine del giorno delle discussioni economiche, politiche, scientifiche e, fortunatamente, anche ecologiche. L'aumento vertiginoso del tenore di vita della popolazione terrestre viaggia di pari passo con il suo consumo di energia, per questo motivo l'energia nucleare si pone come soluzione relativamente semplice e abbondante. Nel nostro Paese il problema è sentito in maniera più forte per i vari motivi citati dai media ormai fino alla nausea. A tutti i livelli, anche in Italia, si è tornato a parlare di ricerca nucleare, di acquisizione di tecnologia e di sviluppo. Purtroppo esistono persone che si oppongono a questa scelta e che cercano di denigrarla facendo leva sulle paure irrazionali condivise e proponendo al suo posto soluzioni 'naturali' vendute come risolutive.

Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a Contributor: (a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software; or (b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor Version); or (c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of its Contributions. This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks, or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with the notice requirements in Section 3.4). 2.4.

Conditions Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted in Section 2.1. 3. Responsibilities ------------------- 3.1. Distribution of Source Form All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form. 3.2. Distribution of Executable Form If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then: (a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and (b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License. 3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice, provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary License(s). 3.4. Notices You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices (including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty, or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies. 3.5. Application of Additional Terms You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any jurisdiction. 4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation --------------------------------------------------- If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it. 5. Termination -------------- 5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after Your receipt of the notice. 5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions, counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section 2.1 of this License shall terminate. 5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License prior to termination shall survive termination. ************************************************************************ * * * 6.

VB behavior in relation with former Int function

Calcolare il CIN di un conto corrente
domenica 08 giugno 2008 18:39
Il CIN (Control Internal Number) è un tipo di check digit che viene usato dalle banche italiane fin dagli anni '90. E' ancora molto utile in quanto deve essere incorporato nel codice IBAN che da metà del 2008 è sostanzialmente indispensabile per le transazioni monetarie elettroniche.
Pare che su internet ci siano pochissime fonti che spieghino come calcolarlo, l'algoritmo che segue si basa su una spiegazione del modulo Contabilità delle ACG di IBM.

VB.net MD4 Message Digest class
domenica 02 marzo 2008 22:38
First of all I must tell the story of this class.
In first place this is derived in first place from original RSA algorythm, then this class has been implemented by Norbert Hranitzky in Java. This Java class was used by Oren Novotny as base for his excellent C# implementation, finally this class has been translated in VB.net by someone called Bismark Prods in a post at http://www.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/microsoft.public.dotnet.security/2004-08/0004.html.
This last class was not working and I extensively modified it to make it running right. So, while I have to give credit to others for their job, I am pleased to say that this piece of code is (apparently) the only working VB.net implementation of a MD4 class.

CREATED ISSUE: ServerSession Infoset
domenica 30 luglio 2006 13:14
It seems the WMI object ServerSession is not always queried by the Framework because of a permission problem. ASPInfo contains the following fragment in order to use ServerSession: {{ 'Sessions 'Disabled: it does not always works. Try to enable to see if it return an error 'element = New clsElements("Sessions", "Sess", "root\CIMV2", "SELECT * FROM Win32_ServerSession", itemsSess, headSess) 'elements.Enqueue(element) }} As you see by the comment, this code is disabled in the actual assembly. At the moment I cannot determine while it works on one machine and not in others, if you have any hint on this, please go on on this thread. Luca

New Post: Structural changes
mercoledì 26 luglio 2006 13:06

While ASPInfo is working very fine in most of its parts, I am still in the process to assess what information are really useful for the real-world user of the software.

WMI offer you a huge choice of data to be obtained from your system, but of course the goal of the project is to provide a tool that can be very informative with a simple glance or so.
For this reason I would like to hear your opinion about the items already present in the APSInfo report page (memory, processors and so on) as well as your suggestions for other items that I failed to add and you consider important, based on your experience.

Thanks

Luca
