After reading an interesting article on Erlang and Java interoperability, I have decided to dedicate my spare time to Erlang.

O’Reilly has just published a wonderful book on Erlang, so I decided to dive into it.

Some times ago I have the lucky to read "Producing Open Source Software":
[...] a book about the human side of open source development. It describes how successful projects operate, the expectations of users and developers, and the culture of free software. The book is released under an open copyright: it is available in bookstores and from the publisher (O'Reilly Media), or you can browse or download it [...]
Valuable parts, which we suggest to read:
Open source is a value, especially here in Italy, where the small consulting firms have no time/ no hope of developing strong commercial reality.
Open source so can be a way for a cheap investiment.

Gomorra di Saviano

Ho appena finito di leggere il libro “Gomorra” di Roberto Saviano, preferendolo al film. Il testo è denso, e in alcuni punti leggermente frammentario. “Gomorra” però è un ottimo esempio di quel giornalismo sul campo, fatto da un giovane ragazzo (Saviano è nato nel 1979) che non si accontenta e arriva fino nel cuore della realtà in cui vive. E’ un tipo di giornalismo che ricorda molto Enzo Biagi, e che fa additato come esempio ai giovani scrittori di oggi come di domani.

All’inizio non avevo molta voglia di leggere “Gomorra”, perché pensavo dicesse le solite cose che si sanno sulla mafia, tipiche di un vecchio film come “il Padrino” o “Scarface”. Invece il testo è molto diverso, ed estremamente istruttivo, per capire come è fondata l’economia criminale, e getta anche una luce oscura sui piedi su cui si poggia il sistema economico italiano.

iPhone is the brand-new Apple product which has changed the way Apple thinks. Because of iPhone, Apple strip the word "Computers" from its brand name. And because of iPods and iPhone products, Lepoard developmenet slip a bit, blurring the focus on pure technology.
To be true, I do not beat on the iPhone success, but the product success is at least bright this year. And the iPod touch has also added value to the iPods product catalog. But I am an IT-man, damn you boy! So I want to buy it to play with it, to program with it!
