Reading your mate passwords in Firefox

So, here is the quest. You need to discover the password of your best friend. Although this might seem morally reprehensible you are moved by nobel and deep reasons. You need to check in his email and discover if he is having an affair with your wife. You can’t just confront him if you are [...]

Review: Smarking

Some of you might remember my rant, once del.icio.us was bought. And some others, who where with me from before might remember the entries I wrote on tag clouds. Some time later I was contacted from an Italian developer, Fabio Vescarelli, who asked me some help in developing some algorithms to find the distance between users in a del.icio.us like program. We had an exchange of email first , and we met in chat some other time. He was building a del.icio.us clone, Smarking. But with some interesting differences.

Small China

We have all heard the news that do-no-evil Google has accepted to comply with Chinese laws and ban some words from the search results (Google testimony here). More than that China is censoring media, editors, journalist, blogs, and practically any form of free expression. According to this article this censorship is not having the desired [...]

The Italian blog is born: reasons and technicalities

Finally the time has come. Although I wanted to do this from a long time, only now did I found the time and the technical knowledge to do it: I divided the blog. I divided all the Italian posts from the English ones. I created a new blog at http://it.pietrosperoni.it, and my italian posts will, [...]

My Sunday Treasure Hunt: Enzymes and Digestion

Explenations that generally say that enzymes come in a limited quantity, that if you eat raw food you are taking in new enzymes, thus not depleting your resources but if you eat cooked food you deactivate the [...]

Beppe Grillo e la Democrazia Diretta: pericoli e proposte

New dad in town

I made it! After ages of mobbing, veiled suggestions, and unveiled blackmail, I manage to convince my father to make himself a blog. Not just a blog: a wordpress blog, with Creative Common Copyright, threaded comments, feeds, trackback, multiple categories, comment subscriptions and everything else a serious weblogger ought to have to survive in the [...]

MathMl: sorry for the mess.

In those last days the blog has been up and down, on and off, all the time. It was my fault. I was trying to perfection something that was already ok. I was trying to use the mathml plugin. It is a pretty plugin, and provided that you only post math formulas, one formula per [...]

Yahoo’s delicious meal!

I wanted to start this entry congratulating with Joshua for the deal. But I won’t. Tha facts: the web site delicious have been sold to Yahoo!.

I personally don’t dislike Yahoo. I positively hate them. For having eaten and raped startup websites, one after the other. For being totally obscure in terms of contact with [...]

Hack for gold: rss tag on wp

I suddenly relised I don’t have the time to do all the things I was interested in (and keep what remains of my mental sanity). So out of need I decided to make the following offer.

The technorati tag plug in gives the possibility to have technorati tags, and for each tag a different page. [...]

Wikka installed

I have to say that I amvery impressed with Wikka. Wikka is a wiki software that I just installed on my web page. It is simple, yet full of plugins. Open source (or I would not consider it). It also permits to integrate freemind mind map inside it. More than this: for each page the [...]

Integrating browsers and feed readers

Speaking about things that should happen, and that have not happen, one thing that I still have not seen is a browser with a feed reader such that when you go to the web page that is linked to a certain feed, it updates the feed and assumes that you have now read that feed. [...]

Flock has a trojan inside (NOT)

I don’t know much about virus and trojan, but please, all take precautions, because today as I installed Flock I got the following message from AntiVir guard:

C:\PROGRAM FILES\FLOCK\UNINST.EXE

Is the Trojan horse TR/Dldr.IstBar.LU

I hope it is nothing serious and I am really admiring the work of the Flock guys. So I suppose it [...]

BBC news missing Main European languages

The BBC is present in 43 languages. Incredible I would say. What is more incredible are the naguages that are missing, more than the languages that are present. In particular for Europe we have: Russian, Uckrainian, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Slovene, Slovak, Albanian, Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian, Greek, and Turkish.

Impressive, isn’t it? And yet [...]
