Well.. I admit that I felt a little proud after seeing the good old KDE3 on the trailer of the upcoming “The Social Network“.

For those who didn’t see it, here it is:

This is a KDE desktop with:

• the Keramic widget and window decoration style (so it’s at least a KDE 3.1, released on Jan 2003)
• a konqueror window (god, I loved that browser) showing the /home/mark directory (obviously Mark Zuckerberg)
• a terminal, probably xterm, showing some wget-ting going on to fetch the pictures displayed in the other konqueror window
• a mozilla window displaying the www.eliot.harvard.edu/facebook/index.shtml URL, probably something like the directory of the house

Apart from that it all looks very standard to me.. do you see any other customization/hint on the picture?
Come on, unleash your CSI skills!!

I remember it was KDE 3.2 that made me fall in love with this awesome desktop environment (it was really the top of the class at that point, with konqueror, the kio slaves, and a browser that was about to change the history) and my first opensource code commit was about 6 years and 8 months ago.. and I enjoyed every second of that. (and now it pays the bills too! lol)

Well… looks like I’ll be at the movies on Oct 1st!

In occasione dell’anniversario dell massacro di piazza Tiananmen ricordo questa foto, una delle più significative ed al tempo stesso commoventi del nostro tempo, oltre che vincitrice del World Press Photo nel 1989.

Il protagonista, del quale non si seppe più nulla (tranne qualche speculazione) è divenuto famoso con il nome di “The Unknown Rebel” (da noi tradotto ne “Il Rivoltoso Sconosciuto“) oppure “Tank Man”.

Una delle immagini più forti del nostro tempo.

Su Google immagini sono presenti molte foto, anche in alta risoluzione (nel caso vogliate anche voi stamparne una formato poster, ed appenderla al muro).

Il Foscolo sostiene che il ricordo dei grandi, ispira grandi imprese. E voi cosa vedete in questa immagine?

In three days, on wed 14/1/09, I won’t be an M31 employee anymore.
After 2 years of dedication, addiction, dreams and a lot of fun (thanks to all the lovely people in there, some of the best friends I’ve ever had!), I feel it’s the right time to move on.

Many thanks to all the cool people in there (the ones that make you smile, save your ass, drive you home, drive you mad, drive you crazy, teach you, kiss you, never betray you, and love you) and I wish all the best for M31 (that has been so kind to me during those years).

So.. thank you guys and remember that from 6pm to 9am I’m still a cool friend of you
