@La7tv ha ragione. Chi fa un lavoro monotono, lo odia, e poi lavora male. Però ci vogliono mutui per i precari, facilità a trovare e sussidiFebruary 2, 2012 12:03

Who suggests going back to Nature aim for an idillic state that never existed. Animals cheat and specialize, too. That IS N.! #permacultureFebruary 1, 2012 9:05

Back to Windows

Since my Windows crashed, and I am now running on an old linux Suse 8.0, on a small partition, I was looking forward to reinstall linux as the only OS, with a newer version: Suse 9.2.

After a day of work, the system administrator of the company I work for was not able to install linux on my weird computer (ACER 340). The first problem we had to face was that having an external CDROM (and Floppy) it would never boot from there. Ever. Period. So we had to move all the files to the HD. Even then it was not trivial to convince him (male and bastard) to load from the HD. And when we managed we got an “EBDA too big” error. He tried changing the ‘magic’, but then concluded that my ‘magic’ was of the wrong kind .

Then we tried to start it under windows and we got a:
“WARNING not enough free memory (load buffer size)”

Which was a similar error: something is too big and the memory is too small. In any case he was able to fix my windows system so for the next months I will keep on using windows and asap I will switch to linux.

Linux don’t run away, our union is just postponed.

wikipedia fast search

I added an extra bookmarklet. I was in this room with 25 great minds discussing molecular dynamics inquantum fields. I couldn’t understand a iota. Luckily new talks are given in places with wifi connection. So to try to get up to speed with what was going on I wrote a small wikipedia fast search.

Now I could just type “w molecule” in the link bar and the browser would automatically go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecule.

So how do you do it?
Just copy the link in your bookmarks. Copy it in the “Quick Search” directory, then edit the properties and add keyword “w”. And voil� .
Following a talk with it is much faster.

European Conference on Complex Systems

I just subscribed to the EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON COMPLEX SYSTEMS. I am grateful to Ricard Sole’ for pointing it out to me, and to Protolife for actually paying for my participation.

Breaking news,

just as I was going to ask for a contratto di mezzadria to my father, I have been contacted by Mark Bedau to join him in protolife and the P.A.C.E. project for the next 6 months.

I have accepted.

I will move to Venice by the end of September, and live there for the next 6 months.
