I’ve read with the deepest sadness about the cold death of Philip Seymour Hoffman, that I loved in his severe actorship’s ability to render the suffering of men throughout different movies. Here’s a memory article that I found really special and toughtful about the actor, from the Esquire magazine by the editor Tom Junod. Just a note. One of the best films I’ve ever seen is Before the devil knows you’re dead, (2007), where the filmmaker, the amazing Sidney Lumet, has directed his last film (and last for Hoffman too): the exceptional character of the protagonist (the other one is […]

When I’ve upgraded my copy of Movable Type to the version 5.2 a couple of months ago, I remember I had to say thanks publicly to Mihai Bocsaru of Pro IT Service for the fundamental help he gave to me: without him, I wouldn’t probably upgrade no copy of MT, as several problems affected the upgrading process. That’s time to do it. In fact, there’re many aspects to consider when upgrading MT, and several scripts to change and upgrade, in several parts. Without an expert mind, I think nobody could point out all these aspect particularly because they can vary […]
I write this post some days after knowing that Aaron Swartz, the genius behind RSS, Creative Commons and co-founder of Reddit, decided to end his life at 26. I was shocked to read some of his blog posts, in particular the “Sick” one, because almost all of the synthomps are mine too. I don’t know if he was thinking at suicide, at the time he posted that. It’s a thing which some of us must live with. So here’s the three-quarters of the problems I share. Cold. I always feel cold; It ‘something that annihilates you, makes you feel old […]
L’intervento più emozionante al giuramento del secondo mandato di Barack Obama è stato forse quello di Beyoncé che ha cantato il National Anthem. Voce da brivido, e che scalda il cuore. Per il resto, il Presidentissimo ha elencato gli obiettivi dei suoi “ancora 4 anni” e tra questi ci sono stati sicuramente molti elementi di rilievo, a partire dai pari diritti dei gay, l’accento posto sul cambiamento climatico (finalmente!), la grande attenzione ai poveri ed alla revisione del diritto sancito dalla Costituzione americana di possedere armi, anche da guerra o d’assalto. Nel lungo articolo che riassume un po’ di seguito, […]
Read the complete article on FT.com Parties are shying away from the radicalism Rome needs Italians go to the polls to choose their next prime minister in a little less than five weeks. The election result will reverberate well beyond Italy. The eurozone’s future prosperity will depend on whether its third-largest economy can keep its fiscal house in order and resume growth after a decade of stagnation. The technocratic government led by Mario Monti as well as decisive action by the European Central Bank have helped restore Rome’s fiscal credibility. Foreign investors have resumed buying Italian paper and yields on […]
My Have to’s for 2013 (this is a post in continuous update) 1. Reduce the Shift – significantly 2. Launch of the Great Event Ever Seen since TEDx 🙂 3.

Change my old Kawa Z. […]
It’s 3 o’clock in the evening. I was to write my “morning” diary but for curiosity i checked the Corriere news magazine and read the news. So sadness took on my mind. The legendary biologist was died. I quickly thought that under festivity there’re more probability to die, I don’t remember where I read it.. She was so a cultural shift for Italy and italians, that has taken a long time to build a grateful memory to her work, recognized with the Nobel prize in 1986. She was without a doubt one of the greatest Italian scientists. Her enormous value, […]
Image via CrunchBase This post started as a simple test entry to understand what’s wrong with Movable Type release 5. I use movable Type since it existed and I loved it. Last week, I installed MT 4.34 over a MT Pro 4.25 installation that resisted for two years without problems (except for a 504 Gateway error when I try to update my Contacts page, ok: I never fixed that since I don’t know why does so and how). Something went wrong: the upgrade process apparently went perfectly, but when I accessed the Dashboard, I discovered the Edit fields (the ones […]
