anti globalization everywhere

yes, you open an italian newspaper or turn on tv and what you see is some alarming report of what’s going to happen when the next G8 meeting will take place in Genoa, Italy at the end of July, and the government that should talk with those who will be there to protest and to demonstrate against it and tales from the so called people of seattle and the movement but i really wonder : do people know what they’re talking about ? what are the real issues and why this movement make so much noise ? Because sure it makes much more noise crashing shopwindows of McDonald’s or marching against police than a recent public debate between Jeremy Rifking and Umberto Eco on this topic. So it’d be good if people would first be aware and know a little more, surely there are sources on the net that’d be useful or books, i just read trough nologo by Naomi Klein and it was a well documented and and in depth reading. so if you’ve to smash a shopwindow, you’d better know the full story first.

the magic world of referrals

thinking at my previous post and giving a look at my log (not weblog, just plain log of the pages accessed on

the webserver) i found out today an hit coming from US (guess arkansas) with this query string from google.com : mosquitos+in+Italy&b;=21&hc;=0&hs;=0

slam!

just smashed a flying mosquito : hot + humid weather & mosquitos : this is summer here that’d drive me to say : i love this place…

Tools o’ the ‘logger

see it this way : i’m quite interested in the way things work, kinda when breaking toys to see what’s in, so when i started thinking at this blog stuff i wanted also to understand the mechanism and possibly have it much more under control (i.e. having running on my own site). Now apparently after some search and trial and error i didn’t find out a decent free weblogging running on asp (that’s what i’ve on my host along with a NT based webserver). I spent some time playing with graymatter but not much success into playing with Perl on Windows. I found out also this other software but it seems even too much for journal, more “forum” or “bullettin board” like. I may well end up writing my own blogging app on asp, althought i’m not a programmer, so if you know of other alternatives , your input is much appreciated

Hello world!

so they say, and this is my first attempt at a weblog . i’ve been looking around blogs for a while and finally decided to start my own, i’d write an essay (should i really ?) about why people use weblogs, and maybe i’ll do, for now what matter is that by freeing up time involved in creating and updating pages in the “old way” you can take advantage of a quicker system to let your thoughts land on a web page. By saying so, the other thing is : filtering . Not everything i’ll have on my mind will get here, you bet, but what’s there is both for myself to have it set and my hope is that you’ll find it enough interesting to come back and check it out a 2nd time.
