Strange how certain anchors seems not to be susceptible to watering by continual exposure to the triggering stimuli.Example: everytime I hear or read something semantically equivalent to “contract based”, or “contract driven”, I can’t help to think of Kenzo Yagai. It’s a fictional character, found in the marvelous novel (part of the fair…

Non sono uno spergiuro, ne mi sono dimenticato: semplicemente al momento attuale mi sto occupando d’altro, quindi cerco di evitare l’overhead del context switch. Tra qualche tempo dovrei tornare sull’argomento, ed approfitterò dello stato di attivazione dei relativi simboli (grazie Marvin!) per riprendere a raccontarvi come funzionano…
Ahh guys. After a serious post, I feel the need to compensate with a light one.And I hope you’ll indulge me if I’ll do that in my own language: as Hofstadter would have said, this is a message in which most information must live in the receiver’s mind and only who was actually…
…even if you plan to play only within the boundaries of your garden.Even if you think that you will never need to deal with the concept of federation, there are still very good reasons for setting up an identity provider. Instead of providing the official ones, of which I’m sure every developer is completely convinced…
It’s too easy to get spoiled by .NET and by all the related initiatives.I have the SP3 just from Christmas, and I’m already completely addicted to the idea of being able to write my own little apps with the Compact Framework (earlier I had the MPx200), and being able to connect wirelessly all sorts…
I’m running the classical old StarWars marathone, and I can’t help to interrupt a sec for blogging about a detail I noticed only now and always eluded me earlier: C-HE relationship: the shorter the creature, the rounder the house door. That holds for Yoda, for the Ewoks and even for the Hobbits of the…
Happy new year everyone!My first 2005 post is about something that I hold very dear, a computer science book titled “Modeling Reality“.I’ve seen pretty much all phases of its building happening at about 1 mt from me: following the geek couple pattern by the book, she spent her evenings on her laptop at her…
Hi again. As announced, I’m going on with some introductory posts about Media Center development. I’m going to provide a condensed view of what can be found in the standard documentation of the product. As announced, the post will be in Italian: if you want details of an English version let me know…
Hi all.This is going to be the first of some posts about developing for Media Center: I had the luck to contribute to one of the very first applications in Italy, and I believe that it deserves to be discussed a bit. Media Center was just released in Italy few weeks ago, while in other countries it…
Every SF fan, sooner or later, goes through a phase in which he/she questions the plausibility of what goes on on the various book/shows. Well, I guess I’m going through mine right now.I’m slightly bothered by the classical “Captain, we’ve been hailed” or “Hail them!” when the other endpoint is, to use the understatement of the…
