Unfinished

I found this photo on the website of professional association of architects of Monza and Brianza. It makes me feel sad: I personally designed the concretes used to built that unfinished tower.  Then I found this petition asking to demolish it. Then I don’t feel sad. Sadness turns into anger.

Unpure bliss

I kept having annoying glitches here in my own self-hosted WordPress network so I thought to uninstall the package from the distribution (Debian), installing the pure package from wordpress.org itself. At first I was having the impression of pure bliss.

You do feel old when you discover that you are still referring to wheezy, the old stable in your package sources (the original, one and only real “appstore” )

Shameful

They gave the parish a nice and nifty Suse laptop some years ago. And they erased Free as ib freedom software (software libero in Italian) to install a copy of the proprietary (in)operative system they are all trained to use. That’s not shameful. That’s saddening

You may look modern

Polari is a shiny, modern client for Gnome3, the “more modern” Linux desktop. Nice Implemented in JavaScript. Nice Sleek and smooth. Nice And lacking the /away command. Ouch! This is a severe lack IMHO. Even the ancient AmIRC did have it!
