pescare idee: viva David Lynch

La gente non dedica abbastanza tempo a riflettere e pensare, le idee sono come i pesci: alcuni sono veloci, altri lenti, molti si possono acchiappare in superficie, altri stanno in acque profonde.Le idee arrivano quando dedichiamo tempo ad esplorare noi stessi. Più fantastichiamo su luoghi immaginari e più possiamo pescare i pesci più grossi, quelli che vivono nelle acque del nostro inconscio, e quindi avere idee migliori (…)

Smoking or no smoking (via feedly)

Smoking or no smoking

“Ci sono due tipi di tassisti: quelli che appestano di tabacco e quelli che non vi fanno fumare”, diceva il comico francese Pierre Desproges. In compenso ci sono ben più di due modi di definire i fumatori incalliti nel vecchio continente.

Fumare, fumer (francese), smoking (inglese), fumar (spagnolo), rauchen (tedesco), rökning (svedese), palenie (polacco) o κάπνισμα (greco). Un verbo per descriverlo, ma una tradizione secolare, radicata nelle abitudini di ogni paese europeo. E come tale, ha lasciato impronte nelle varie lingue. Il tabacco, arrivato dalle Americhe grazie ai conquistatori spagnoli, originariamente veniva utilizzato per sancire la pace fumandolo nella pipa (“fumar la pipa de la paz”).

Printing module now available for GeoServer 1.7.x

I’ve ported the printing module, previously available only for GeoServer 2.0, to GeoServer 1.7.x. I’ve created a wiki page for those who want to check it out.

PS: This post marks the end of my time interning with OpenGeo this summer. I’m glad to have had this opportunity to work on GeoServer, and hope that my contributions to GeoServer will be useful to folks!

“Una delle specie di rane più gustose del mondo rischia di estinguersi: la rana “pollo di montagna”, una specialità dell’isola caraibica di Montserrat. Per risolvere il problema, gli ambientalisti ne hanno trasportato alcuni esemplari in un’altra zona, sperando di evitare l’estinzione della specie. Penso che sia ora di organizzare un intervento di salvataggio anche per te, Cancerino. Una parte molto gustosa di te o del tuo mondo è in pericolo: ha bisogno di aiuto e di cure intensive.” L’oroscopo di Rob Brezsny — Internazionale

Tagzania as a teaching tool [feedly]

Tagzania as a teaching tool

Last weeks we’ve noticed an increasing activity in Tagzania about Antonio Machado’s life, one of the most popular Spanish poets. Many users have saved places where Machado lived, such as, Sevilla, his birthplace, Paris, where he met Oscar Wilde, or Colliure, the French town where Machado died.

We’ve found a blog (in Spanish) related to these users, where a Spanish language teacher has published some assignments. One of them is adding in Tagzania Antonio Machado’s life map. These are some of the users that have done so: rosypatry, xik77, trabajomachado, etc.

Antonio Machado map

There’s another Spanish blog talking about how maps can help Spanish language teachers and they also talk about us.

Thanks a lot!

The VectorOne blog has the following summary : “The folks at TU Berlin inform me that the Institute for Geodesy and Geoinformation Science (IGG) of Berlin University of Technology has released free software tools for the processing and storage of virtual 3D city models based on CityGML. The package consists of a 3D geo database to be used in conjunction with Oracle 10G R2 Spatial (or 11G), a CityGML importer/exporter and a Java programming library for the processing of 3D city models encoded in CityGML. The entire package is Open Source software under the Lesser GNU Public License V3.”
