@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

ACA: Workshop on AC and its application

Funny, I am in the program commitee without anybody ever telling me. No problem, I am happy to be in the list and happy to help. But it did surprise me quite a bit.

So if you didn’t know about it:

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.

Short comunication

I feel the duty to make a short comunication.

My windows system finally crashed under the weight of virus, worms, and similar. I had to recover under linux, but for some weeks I will be unable to have an OS of any kind working properly and completely. Eventually I will install a Suse 9.2. For now I am working with an old Suse 8.0 and many thnks do not work. For this reason, for now, I am unable to make any of the wonderful hacks I planned to do. (I cannot even look at the maps myself right now )

But I keep on studying Python, so eventually everything will turn out well.

I am happy that some users have actually started to use the site on a regular basis, and I would appreciate if they were to make a link to the map maker if they link to their own map. This since the map maker is not that easy to find, from an individual map.

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.

First week in Venice

As I said I am right now in Venice. The situation is spartane at best. We have no telephone, or internet at the office. To make things harder, Vanetian people decided to test their economic skills on the ground of: Many turism, much for internet, thus internet cafe cost should float. An hour in an internet cafe can easily cost 7 (seven!) euro. Which was a lot even when one euro costed less than one dollar.

If you need to get in touch with me, send me an sms, right now. Don’t send me an e-mail or you might be asking for a looong wait.

For the rest, everything is ok, Venezia is truly nice. And I love every bit of it… especially when the sun is out.

Entering protolife

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.

Pietro
