Once I had a blog on wordpress.com, when I moved to my own domain I kept the old site alive just as as an old things archive (everything was imported in this new blog anyway so nothing is lost).
Starting today fabrizioballiano.wordpress.com is not available anymore, it simply did not make sense anymore.
Have a great weekend everybody.

I’m not a Batman fan (actually I’m not fan of any superhero movie…) but I read a lot of good reviews of the last Batman movie (The Dark Night) that I decided to go watch it.
(picture by wikipedia)
One word: AWESOME. I found it amazing, dark, powerful, evil as I was expecting after reading the title! No words for Heath Ledger’s joker, it’s unbelievable in every scene, may him rest in peace…

I was browsing the new Lancia Delta website, selecting my language, clicking on “enter the website”, skipping the intro and clicking on the “discover” link (I can’t provide a direct link ’cause it’s all flash).
Here I found a weird behavior, try using the scrollbar on the right and you’ll find it by yourself: the scrollbar is working in the opposite way every scrollbar in world works.
Why should a web designer invert the scrollbar behavior? Maybe I can’t understand ’cause I’m not all that creative?

UPDATE: mozilla.com is up now but pointing to a strange release candidate page (showing 2.0 releases + some 3.0 rc3).
UPDATE 2: mozilla.com is down again (Http/1.1 Service Unavailable).
UPDATE 3: yeah, firefox 3 is out, really :-)

do no have the “window-close” icon, if I was a designer I would create that by myself.
I’m looking at many icon themes in these days and none is complete, all inherit from gnome default (which is released under gpl thus it’s not usable in many cases).
I think that there’s too much mess in the floss artwork between incomplete works and incompatibilities between licenses.
UPDATE: Jakub Szypulka created the icon window-close icon, I hope his artwork will be uploaded to the official tango icons theme (otherwise none would be able to find it and licensing would be a mess). I want to thank him here also if we found that CC and GPL are not compatible thus we cannot bundle tango icons within P4A :-(

Yesterday Russ Nelson wrote in the OSI licence-review mailing list that finally the AGPL 3 was approved!
You can already see it in the OSI approved licenses page.
I think AGPL3 is really important for web applications and I’m really happy that OSI made AGPL official. Now I hope that more FLOSS projects will use it.
PS: This post is a sort of answer to post about Magento’s license where Roy Rubin (CEO of Varien) told me that AGPL wasn’t OSI approved (it was true in that moment, but now it isn’t anymore). Hey I don’t want to reopen the licenses war of that post, this note is just to join the arguments :-)
UPDATE: Matt Asay says that AGPL is a cure for the cancer within open source. I agree.

This post is OT in my blog but I think this news on TechCrunch needs attention, because technology should always be created keeping “life” in mind, any form of life.

While the orbo machine demonstration has been postponed again (and I’m going to postpone also my comments about the machine), I’d like to point out some other interesting projects:
and the best Italian website/forum about the MEG (Motionless Electromagnetic Generator) and free energy.
…google for more info…
hey, remember I’m not a physicist :)
