Dear VMWare, why do you keep telling me that my newly registered and freshly activated account is inactive?

Activate Your My VMware Account

You must activate your My Vmware account before you can log in. To activate your account, open the confirmation email sent when you registered for your account and click the link in the email.

If you have already activated your account and think you may have received this page in error, click Back to log in again or close your browser and try again.

I can tolerate being forced to use a couple of times your proprietary software – paid by my employer. I also acknowledge that it’s not the latest release.

Mildly put using your website is a severely suboptimal experience.

Greetings.

Quite obviously I would say because a couple of weeks ago I attended a course on fiber reinforced concretes held by Di Prisco himself.
It’s quite funny to notice that even my wife keeps making dreams like this…

As usual

They won’t change. That’s the usual, maddening bureaucracy that is sinking this country. That’s the only thing a good-willed person can say after reading Dichiarazione dei forfettari: occorre tenere la contabilita expecially this passage:

Lately I’ve launched a big dist-upgrade on my aging machine at work, discovering that our seldom used StatusNet stopped working.

Today I’ve been trying to upgrade it from StatusNet 1.1.0 to its current version, i.e. Gnu Social 1.2.x

You got it. I’ve been trying. Debugging scripting languages can be quite an headache.
