I’m Back (Back in Black)
Monday, September 1st, 2008
I’m kind afraid the few who read this blog kind of regularly (for pretty wide values of regularly) stopped this despicable practice in the last year, as apparently I stopped writing as well.
This is indeed the bare naked truth. In september I graduated and in the last period I was astonishingly busy (and worried for [...]
Difference lists
Sunday, November 12th, 2006
Well…. I just discovered this new wonderful world. I really like them a lot.
I suspect I’m getting a little bit more into Prolog programming. However, I still find more exciting Haskell lazy programming. But I have to admit that my scarce love for Prolog it’s more a problem of (my) ignorance.
A couple of days ago [...]
Ubuntu on Powerbook G4 (Trackpad Synaptics Two finger scroll multibutton emulation)
Sunday, November 12th, 2006
After such a long title (mainly for tagging reasons) I suppose I have to write a long article.
One of the things I didn’t really like about Ubuntu standard configuration, was the track-pad.
In fact, although correctly recognized (using the synaptics Xorg driver) default was really poor: the mouse moved so slowly it was unusable. For the [...]

Which File Extension are You?
You are .ogg Even though many people consider you cool and happening, a lot still find that you’re a bit too weird to hang out with.

I also have a more recent test that quite leads to other conclusions
gmp on MacIntel and on G4

My iMac should be “twice as fast” as the iMac G5. Ok, that good.
This is true if you use apple software (i suppose they did the test correctly) and if you benchmark with SPEC suites. That’s good.
And the iMac is fast. I have [...]
YASP (Yea Another Stupid Post)
Sunday, March 26th, 2006
I have to admit that this
makes me quite proud… I’ve never had a biproc machine (and this is dual core, but that does not change the point).
I’m looking forward to have some time to install Linux. Non because of Linux itself but because of the twin penguins that should appear when booting. Well.. they should [...]
ReactOS
Saturday, March 25th, 2006
Per chi non lo sapesse ReactOS è un’implementazione libera di Windows NT. Non ancora completa, è comunque un sistema bootabile e funzionante, che permette anche di fare girare alcune semplici applicazioni di windows “native”.
Uno dei vantaggi di avere un MacIntel è che Q (ovvero qemu + gui) è in grado di fare funzionare a velocità [...]
