[11:50'18"]     vjt| I had a friend whose only job
[11:50'28"]     vjt| Was to keep him nerdish and to flog his log
[11:50'37"]     vjt| Those were the only things he wanted to do
[11:50'44"]     vjt| And I think that's really NERD
[11:50'53"]     vjt| Then one day he had an accident
[11:51'00"]     vjt| And had to amputate his fingers
[11:51'08"]     vjt| I'd like to guess if he was sad that day ..
[11:51'14"]     vjt| He can't code
[11:51'25"]     vjt| He can't browse pr0n
[11:51'32"]     vjt| And he surely cannot masturbate no moooooooore

( E adesso, qualcosa di orribile )

Shattered


I’m trying to control myself
So please don’t stand in my way
I’ve waited for the longest time
This is what I wanted in my way


Move over, move over
There’s a climax coming in my way
Move over, move over
There’s a climax coming in my way


I don’t like you, don’t compromise
Shattered by your weakness
Shattered by your smile
And I’m not very fond of you, and your lies
Shattered by your weaknesses
Shattered by your smile


All the kids are going back to school
The summer’s over it’s the golden rule
And now I’m coming out to play
So please don’t stand in my way
And all the things that seemed once to be
So important to me
Seem so trivial now that I can see


Move over, move over
There’s a climax coming my way x2

Please don’t stand in my way

Well, this video is from ages ago but... I never blogposted about it so here it is Sticking out tongue

What does your .bash_history say?

A friend of mine told me that on techie blogs there is a new meme going on: show off the most used commands, starting from shell history:

history | \
 awk '{a[$2]++}END{for(i in a){print a[i] " " i}}' | \
 sort -rn| head -15

I've got 20 times the default bash history size (10k lines), so it'll yield interesting results. I also use the history timestamp feature, so a little sed strip timestamps out.

Let's see:

 13:19:50 vjt@voyager:~/code$ history | 
     sed 's#^[ 0-9\[\/\:]*\]\([^ ]*\).*#\1#' |  

Remove a lightwindow trigger link after an AJAX call

Well, this is the result of 2 days of head-banging with lightwindow:

Index: public/javascripts/lightwindow.js, line 444

  _removeLink : function(removed) {
    // remove it from the links array
    //
    this.links = this.links.reject(function(link) {
      if (link == removed.href)
	 return true;
    });
    // remove it from the gallery links array
    //
    if (gallery = this._getGalleryInfo(removed.rel)) {
      klass = gallery[0];
      name = gallery[1];
      if (this.galleries[klass] && this.galleries[klass][name]) {

We still can do it.

Well, it seems that I've got no reason to be paranoid about my age: I still can do inline like I did (everyday) when I was a bit younger Smiling.

On international workers day, 1st of may, sam literally carried my out from home, far from the computer, and we went skating. It's been an awesome day, we skated a lot, and shot some nice photos.

But the real good ones have been shot when ndstr catched us. He is by far the best photographer you could met, and of course my favourite one (take a look at his site!).

He's been also a skater, so he knows very very well how and when to shot in order to take out the most from your tricks Smiling. Here are two of them, portraying me and sam while doing our best!

sam & vjt on 1st may skating

It was fun. Really fun. Thank you sam for taking me out of home Laughing out loud.

Oh, and don't forget to visit my deviantart, and look at this one Laughing out loud
