Banknotes. Think different!
The USA have little experience of internal wars, but they are in the middle of a strange battle between science and creationists. What we believed impossible (that a minority of retarded guys could interfere in the public understanding of science) is reality, thanks to the media, the Internet, and the holy ignorance…
And while the US dollar banknote still have the “In god we trust” motto… in the UK things are different.
Great Britain is still great.
Cropping, why it’s so important
When taking a photo, keep wider than you actually would. If you leave a little bit more space around your subject you’ll be able to crop it after, with higher precision than with you camera (expecially with moving subjects!).
If you really want to see why, I found this nice example on the Internet:
Cropping: the better side of yourself
Dolomites panoramic photo
I spent a weekend in Palafavera (camping), and took this 360 panoramic photo from Passo Giau.
You can download the full resolution photo from my flickr account.
Finally released… CorelDraw X4
I’m still not sure if this is a good news. But the awaited (at least by me!) CorelDraw X4 is out!

PowerDental, a simple open source dentistry software
I’m starting a new work as system administrator of a dentist office (Studio Dentistico - Stefania Rinaldi). I’m proud to announce that it will run Linux in both server and clients, in order to reduce licensing and hardware costs and to have a more robust platform.
The drawback of this choice is the little number of software that could be implemented, so I’d like to create a simple MySQL/PHP application. Being server-side, it’s clearly a cross-platform program and could also implemented in remote server and sold in outsourcing.
For those interested in the source or in helping me in the development, please, write me at telatin at cribi.unipd.it, specifying PowerDental as subject.
Bye!

How old is this webpage?
Just type javascript:alert(document.lastModified) on the address bar and type enter, and a popup telling when the HTML page were created will raise!
The only limit of this trick is that dynamic pages, like .php sites or blogs, are re-created each time the user request them, thus their last modified date is refreshed to the current date. Anyway interesting…
Live walls
I just found this post… Probably one of the most amazing decorations for a new house. In a few words: think about live walls with picture changing with the higher temperature of a stove? Or a calendar that fades after the current day passed on? Well, have a look 
Delizioso sito di ricette…
