thought they couldn’t invent anything more about blogs. From
I have bought some shares of weblogs in my blogroll on
blogshares. Interesting new experiment. It looks like Scripting
News has been victim of an (hostile?) takeover by Ruzz. I hope that
Dave will be able to maintain his freedom and
integrity.

Slashdot | Eclipse 2.1 Released: After a lot of waiting, here
it is!
Only 7 days ago I
href="http://www.andrerestivo.com/weblog/archives/001912.html#001912">
moved from Evolution to Mozilla Mail. At that time I said that
I was looking forward to the day I would have zero spam mails in my
Inbox. Well, that day arrived sooner than I expected. And besides
having no spam I had no false negatives either. A big kudos for
theMozilla Spam
Filtering team.
Still there are some stuff that could be improved:
That would be ultra-cool as it would be very easy for Mozilla to
separate all my mailing lists and newsletters without me creating
filters by hand.

From IMDB:
On February 11, 2003, “Donald Kaufman” was nominated
for a real-life Academy Award, along with the real Charlie Kaufman,
for the screenplay of Adaptation (2002). This is the first time in
Oscar history that a nomination has been bestowed upon a fictional
character.
I wont’ even try to explain the plot of the film. I just loved the
intricate/recursive story. Not to miss …
In the beginnning there was the

Text only virus: Some time ago I received a joke by e-mail
about a lazy virus that asked the user to forward the e-mail to all
his friends and delete it’s entire hard disk afterwards.
Today I received this e-mail, claiming that the person that sent
the e-mail had a virus and was checking if any of his contacts got
infected too. The e-mail had some simple instructions for the
receiver:
And there you have it, a text only virus!!! And the most
amazing thing is that given the amount of e-mails of this type I
received today it works better than real virus.
Day 2 of my

lessons. Whenever I think things are making sense I discover
another problem GSM has to deal with. No wonder so many calls get
lost. Just so you can get an idea,

this diagram is a part of what happens when someone from a
external network calls a mobile phone (just the call setup phase).
In the next few days I’m going to learn some GPRS and UMTS (they
told me it gets even more complicated).
Spent most of my day learning the intricate workings of the
href="http://www.gsmworld.com/index.shtml">GSM protocol. One
thing on my mind at this point: How in the freaking hell do mobile
phones work at all.
Didn’t anyone explain the KISS concept to GSM engineers. Now I
understand why the first mobile phones resembled backpacks.
