I run into a very big trouble on these days.
- My big company delivered to me a Windows7 64bit system (first error)
- I asked for Office 64 bit and Visio2007 32 bit
- I tried to connect to Oracle (second error) to reverse engenieer a DB with Visio2007
(the 32bit guy of the odbc drivers side) I was able to get the same error… and this was helpful:

I like a lot of programming languages. I do not love them with the same intensity.
I do not love Lisp for its ((syntax))), but Lisp rocks for its purity: in a tiny bag of concept, you get a lot of stuff.
This article, (How to Write a (Lisp) Interpreter (in Python)) show you how it is easy to write a lisp interpreter in python. It is 113 lines of code, and include the parser the executor and the basic functions to get started.

Ho posseduto sia un Vic20 ed un C/64, come molti della mia generazione, credo. Il Commore 64 è stato un micro computer commercializzato tra il 1982 e il 1994, dalla Commodore Business Machine (CBM). Il vero salto di qualità con il C/64 me lo fece fare un rivista scovata in un Autogril, chiamata Commodore Computer Club, che parlava praticamente solo del C/64 e aveva una forte connotazione “social”, nel senso che la rubrica della posta era inizialmente molto grande.

So Dart Sith has just launched his first DeathStar, my young JavaScript fellow: a site devoted to the Dart language
Because I am a very old Jedi (1974, before ever the first WtartWars trilogy showdown) I had to rest a bit before talking about it, so the news is 4-days old I know. I needed to think, reflect and write down: but now I am ready, Read on…

Hi all,
I have released version 0.0.6 of org-mode-parser for nodejs
Org mode parser is a parser for reading org-mode files in nodejs.
It features more then 80 unit tests, and support also for :DRAWER: and archive tag.
The parser can query on the structure, extract subtrees, regenerate the original input via an handy toOrgString() method.

Come capire quando una mega corporation è disperatamente alla rincorsa? Ecco alcuni indizi:
- Andate ad una tech conference in centro. La sala non è gremita, in prima fila c'è una sola persona, in seconda fila sono due...
- Viene offerto un codice di riscatto per vendere applicazioni per un anno sul loro App Store.
- Viene dato GRATIS l'ambiente di sviluppo, che solitamente costa 1000 euro.
- C'è un concorso con premi settimanali ed estrazioni mensili per chi scrive applicazioni sull'appstore.
- Il sistema operativo si chiama Mango: un nome azzeccato! Ma la cosa fantastica è che la versione 7.5 per programmarlo ha bisogno dell'SDK ha versione 7.1! Sospettiamo che stiano andando un po' troppo velocemente...
Ora sta a voi scoprire di chi sto parlando. -
This week, the nodejs community had a big flame.
All was started by this blog post, which tried to slap down node.js server because of its mono-thread nature. And node.js fight back knocking down the attacker. Let’see how.

Ciao bimbo mio, oggi non parliamo di te.
Parliamo di Steve Jobs, che si è spento ieri, all’età di 56 anni. Steve è il creatore di tutte quelle cose con il logo di una mela che vedi in casa, e no, la Apple non è una catena di fruttivendoli internazionali.

So we are here again talking about Javascript. I have already wrote an article comparing a well known SmallTalk implementation to Javascript. If my ideas are right (at least a bit), you will see more and more javascript on the next months. In particular:
- JavaScript is the Ajax programming languge for the rest of us
- Mobile Framework like PhoneGap and Appcelerator, are all about javascript at the top
- Javascript is evolved, and it is used server side by projects like node.js
Getting Started
JavaScript is a language must be re-learned if you are old like me (i.e. born before 1982).This book will re teach you javascript in ten minutes or so on. A very nice and funny read, for 25 pages!A lot of the things you will read will be new to you, for sure.Studing good librabries is a must. JQuery is a very well written and commented library: grab the full sized source and start reading it.Getting your hands dirty
A good way of learning is trying to make your own errors :)QUnit is a unit-testing framework you can run in your browser, which will be very useful to you.If you prefer nodejs, vows is a continuous integration library which will save your days. I prefer vows in these days, because it can run from the command line, and it is easy to setup.Phase3: Evolving to the next step
Coffee Script is a very instructive language. Look how CoffeeScript renders its code in JavaScript:it will avoid you a lot of mistakes.And this bring us to a very sad rule: discipline in JavaScript is fundamental to avoid nasty bugs.
