My personal lib of utils is now a quite public project, jUtils (part of ISA-Tools) and the code in it doesn't come from myself only any more. In this post, I'd like to give a brief overview of what it offers. Who knows, that bit you were about to code yourself might be described in the next paragraphs.

WOW! This is the first (real) post on my site, after three (three!) years of stop. A lot of things to do, personal up and downs. But here I'd like to talk about another serious reasons why I haven't worked to this site for such a long time: I wanted to upgrade the version of Drupal, the CMS both this new and the old site were based on. Still at Drupal 4.7 version, the fact that they have come at 7 (and almost 8), started making me feel like I was walking over eggs (and you should feel the same in similar cyrcumstances).
I already expected this to be painful, so I've waited until I had some time and was inspired enough. And yes, first thing to say about is that Drupal has pros and cons and, among them, the upgrade process, despite significant improvement, is still a big thumb down. It took me several months of spare time to face it and below you find some account of this little adventure.
Disclaimer: this is going to be rather technical and if you want to embark on a similar experience, you'll do it at your own risk. If you don't even know what Drupal is (or a CMS), don't bother reading on…

Il DC9 l’ha tirato giù una bomba. i comunisti mangiano i bambini. Si comincia sempre con le canne. Questo non è un sottosegretario, è uno stregone. Per chi non vuole farsi incantare, vedere qui.

Here we go again: World Cup begins and, as any other big sports event, on line TV from your country is blocked if you’re abroad. And it’s not the only restrictions that limit your freedom, including your chance to be a European citizen. There are technical solutions that allows one to overcome the sharks and you’ll discover them in this post. Although there is quite more than that.

Finché ci sono ancora, godiamoci gli scampoli di informazione degna del nome. Che fa riflettere sul come la vicenda del terremoto in Abruzzo sia la metafora del sisma infinito che devasta un paese intero. Che fa riflettere su come si potrebbe risorgere dalle macerie, se solo ci si svegliasse.

…Perché invece, domanda retorica, il legislatore non si occupa di mettere mano a questa ridicola contraddizione dei ginecoloci anti-abortisiti? Perché non si dibatte circa i pericoli per la salute, derivanti dal fatto che questa è in mano a certi personaggi? A persone, cioè, che aderiscono a sette clericali e pretendono, per altro per ipocrite ragioni di carriera, di mischiare la scienza medica con le mistificazioni superstiziose?
Per esempio, qualcuno si è mai chiesto che cosa succede ad una ragazza e alla sua vita…
