Luciana Littizzetto
Da parecchio tempo ormai la domenica sera il popolo della sinistra (anzi, di una certa sinistra) ha un appuntamento fisso: Fabio Fazio e il suo programma cultural-meteorologico. Quando questa trasmissione era iniziata, non si può negare che fosse drasticamente migliore di qualsiasi altro programma televisivo di pseudo-intrattenimento, soprattutto trasmesso in un orario così inconsueto. Oramai,…

The new, much awaited version of the Creative Commons Licenses has been released. They are in the end unbiased towards non-US content publishers, among other improvements. You can just try out the nice license selector and enjoy the goodnees of copyleft artwork.

Linux in Action: Pre-Installed Linux Options
Per una volta, siamo riusciti a fare una cosa che riesce sempre tanto bene agli altri: una lobby. Il sito http://www.dellideastorm.com/, in cui Dell chiedeva agli utenti di esprimere le proprie richieste per migliorare la sua offerta commerciale, è stato letteralmente sommerso da una unica, grande e incontentabile richiesta: Linux. Niente Windows preinstallato, software libero…

Compiling Stereo Photogrammetry Software
Stereo is an old free photogrammetry software, that was developed in 1997 by Paul Sheer during his PhD. At the moment it's one of the few free software programs that do photogrammetry (correct me if I'm wrong), that was due to be integrated into GRASS but is now stuck. Yesterday I found out that errors…

Photogrammetry and 3D Archaeology
Yesterday we had a lecture by Fabio Remondino from ETHZ on Photogrammetry and 3D in Archaeology. It has been very interesting, despite the hot temperature inside the room. Photogrammetry has been much developed in recent years and now automatic methods are available that result in very fast processing of image data and generation of high-detail…

I am running Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on my laptop and as of today I had very few problems with it. I enjoy seeing how many beautiful pieces of software are packed for tomorrow's…

Pianeta Linux
Dopo diversi giorni finalmente riesco a dire le mie prime parole sul neonato planet.linux.it. Spero che questa nuova creatura dia più visibilità ai nostri blog e alle mie interminabili lamentele quotidiane… Nel frattempo, ho finito la mia esperienza come docente di GIMP, che si è rivelata molto interessante e stimolante. Tra pochi giorni si svolge…

Recent developments in the field of recent developments
Yesterday I committed my first translation to the GRASS-Tutorial documentation project. I decided to spend some time on this translation, partly to better learn GRASS, partly to give my contribution to this great free software. Recently I’ve been busy teaching The GIMP in 4 short courses for Provincia di Savona, with Libersoft. It has been…

Privacy: oggi ho fatto tripletta
Oggi ho fatto tripletta in Privacy. Se pensate che io sia un paranoico, andate a leggere Google News. Se invece vi interessa sapere come evitare in parte che il Grande Fratello digitale si infili dentro gli affari vostri, forse non vi racconterò nulla di eccezionale ma potrebbe tornarvi utile. Passaggio numero uno: il motore di…

Happy Bithrday to my Blog
It's passed one year since my first post here on this blog. I started without any idea at all. I wasn't even sure I really wanted to keep a blog. But, here it is. It has taken the shape of my random experience, sometimes with hard and unpolite ramblings. But it was all just my…
