Opera 9.5: finally with a good enough debugger for JS
In these last days I've finally upgraded to Opera 9.51 . I've always been a Opera user, though when I was actively developing for the web, I've generally ended up using Firefox and IE only. Now, the good news is that the latest version of Opera already has a JS debugger, which means that... Read More...

Just wondering: will Silverlight 2.0 support indexing when it's out?
This is one of the things I've been thinking about in these last days. To be honest, I still see Flash only sites (feel free to add Silverlight to the list too) as more trouble than they're worth it. Even though some say they're more usable, I'd say that's nonsense. To be honest,... Read More...

MSDN low band rendering
If like me you use the online help, then you've surely noticed several changes in these last months (ex.: friendly urls with support for namespaces, classes, properties, methods, etc). I've just seen in Craig's blog that now you can ask for a "low-bandwith page" . Ok, you'll... Read More...

This is a post on football (no, I'm not talking about American football - man, how can you call that football? you play it with your hands :) I'm talking about soccer).

Amy "what a waste" Winehouse
Yesterday I saw one of the worst live performances I can remember. Amy Winehouse has a fantastic voice, but if she keeps doing this she will disappear from scene within the next six months. As if starting the concert 45 minutes after time wasn't bad enough, she appeared completely drunk (and, dare... Read More...

Using Postsharp for solving the inexisting multi-inheritance problem
Well, not really... As you surely know, you cannot have mutiple inheritance in .NET. That really sucks. Yes, I agree that multiple inheritance might bring several problems but when applied correctly, it really helps. Don't believe me? Ok, take a look at WTL . Back to .NET...Since we can't use...

F# first impressions
Well, I should really say: first and last impressions! I've read about 200-230 pages of the Expert F# book and I think I've had enough.

SVN strategies
I've been using SVN as my source control provider for some time now. I've been trying several approaches with it on these last months and to me, the best approach is to use a sheme based on trunk + branches + tags. I've been writing down several notes while trying to put a post about this... Read More...
