Vincenzo e Annalisa sposi!
I just came back from the wedding of my brother Vincenzo e Annalisa!
[ A Valentine for my Wife, CC-licensed picture from ella's dad ]
I wish you all the best!
The whole wedding-thing ran perfectly ( "da dieci" :), as we said in those days): great ceremony (I was one of the best men, along Alessandro), veeeery good reception (a lot of food, a lot of wine... we all love Southern-Italy-weddings :) ) and an amaaaaaazing after dinner party!
I just wait for the pictures (that I couldn't take), from the official photographer (Giordano - if I remember well - who also worked for National Geographic) and from our friends.
Just a note: the night before the wedding (sunday), your hero performed a great alcool-show in the old town in Matera (and in the hotel too)! I was completely drunk (thanks to my brother's friends): the best way to pay tribute to the wedding !
Bill Gates Chews Out Microsoft Over XP
Via Gizmodo I found this interesting (leaked) email from Bill Gates to some Windows developers, sent in 2003.
He (Bill, founder of Microsoft, developer of Windows XP) just wanted to install Movie Maker on his Windows XP machine.
The memo is quite long (read after the jump) but I think it shows the commitment of Gates and his frustration, trying to work out his own product. Even if polite, he wrote as one who wouldn't tolerate any objections.
Please take note of the sentence
[after a crazy and system-mandatory Windows Update] [...] Someone decided to trash the one part of Windows that was usable? The file system is no longer usable. The registry is not usable. This program listing was one sane place but now it is all crapped up.
We all love Gizmodo
I already explained why I love Gizmodo.
Just in case you need other reasons, check the picture below and the video "Born of a Stormtrooper".
They are soooo nice :)
They - the guys behind Internet Explorer, the developers at Microsoft - ship an unsual gift to the Firefox Team.
Actually the gift wasn't unexpected since they did the same for the announcement of Firefox 2.0.
Kobe Bryant vs Michael Jordan
Great video showing Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, performing the same moves 10 years later.
Who will win?
