Ciao bimbo mio, oggi non parliamo di te.
Parliamo di Steve Jobs, che si è spento ieri, all’età di 56 anni. Steve è il creatore di tutte quelle cose con il logo di una mela che vedi in casa, e no, la Apple non è una catena di fruttivendoli internazionali.

In the last year, "Apple Computer" has changed a bit its focus.
First of all, Apple has erased the word "computer" in the company name.
Then, has shifted its focus on new products like the iPhone.
iPhone is a GSM telephone, and so it is quite different product for a computer company.

Celeste
Celeste is a mail reading and organizing program. The name "Celeste" is a reference to an earlier mail reader named Baba, which was written at Xerox PARC by Steve Putz and John Maloney.
Nowadays, Celeste is maintained by Giovanni Giorgi (me).Latest Feature
A new revision is planned for the end of September 2006, and code name will be "Sonic". Sonic will include a smart mailing-list filter and a better "leave message on server" option. I implemented years ago an auto-filtering system in AppleScript. The filtering engine used the RFC2369 and some other tricks to detect yahoo mailing list. Sonic will have also an auto-filter for google mailing list too.The leave message on server option is quite bad now. It creates a lot of duplicated messages.
The new implementation will avoid dowloading twice a message, using a mix of messageId and timestamp to detect duplicated messages.

- Cannabis programming is too light
- You cannot offer a Lunch to Steve, unless you have four ticket resturants and at least one more for you
- Are you saying you need more time to finishing the use case? These are details. If you cannot get it in the required time, I will fire you (Loading a gun): in the real sense.
- Peace and calm are an useless evil.
- True Metal Hackerz get the work done in less time then you
- Linux has a a cold bird as Logo. This is enought to kick it off the project.
