- FTP: people with a little tech skill (but above average) thinks that THIS is the real file trasfer protocol. Please, FTP, die.
- Modern Mobile Phones user interface: fancy and useless for the most part. You have a BIG screen, with SMALL estate… it sucks
- There is not a reliable system to share data between two computers (with computer I mean every peace of hardware with a cpu and a file storage in it)
- GNU/Linux performances as a desktop computer: I keep growing my RAM time by time… the more RAM I add the more the system became unresponsive after a relatively small period of time
- Proprietary (not free) software: beside the natural consideration and advantages of free software, I have to recall the extreme difficulty to retrieve every small piece of information about that shitty DBMS (put here a name of your choice). You need to know how to configure an Unix ODBC client? Well, first read on some fucking useless colorful commercial brochure…
- Self inducted digital divide: if you can use IE 6, why are using IE 5?
- Batteries: their gain in performance in time is well far behind the Moore law, but batteries ARE part of our computing experience…
- Wires! We don’t need wires! Stop using wires!
- Hard disks: their (adaptive) technology is 20 years old… where are the solid state ones? I don’t want to listen at those ‘clicketiclick… death” anymore…
- ebooks and who try to sell them: they suck hard… a book is a book. I don’t even think to read something bigger than a VI quick reference on my PDA (or something like that). Not to talk about DRM, of course…

Poi, sempre sull’argomento, della … [continua »]
Usare VirtualBox per sviluppare su OSX
Giusto un paio di giorni fa sono entrato in possesso di un bellissimo MacBook Pro. La mia attività principale, nell’utilizzo di un computer, è lo sviluppo di applicazioni web. Dopo aver installato tutto il necessario lato client (ah, il software libero… ma di questo parlerò più avanti) rimaneva tutta la parte “server” ovvero, nella fattispecie, … [continua »]
The new providers discovery for Zend_Tool 1.10
With the recent release of the 1.10 version of the Zend Framework, they made a subtle change on how Zend_Tool searches its providers. Before 1.10 the loader (aka the provider discover) was set to be the IncludePathLoader class; what that meens is that if you wrote a new provider, all that you needed to do to … [continua »]
