The Windozen on my wife’s laptop has stopped to work at the beginning of August. What are the news here?
I’ve proposed her to switch to fedora. She have been in doubts, saying:
“I’m not a geek, I just use pc to navigate on internet, read email, write few docs and so on…I don’t want to learn another system, can’t you try to recover my system?”
Me: “Well, give it a try. I’ll backup the full image of your disk, and if you will not be happy with the new system, I’ll restore it and I’ll try to recover it”
She: “Ok, you won. Let’s try this Linux”

After more than one month she is of course still using Linux and loving it. She have never open a console, and probably she will not ever do that…but it was exactly the idea. It demonstrate that Linux is perfectly fine for “normal-non-geek” user for internet surfing, emails, some docs and so on.
She had just 2 comments. The first is very positive: “Wow…it’s fast, what have you done to my laptop more than installing Linux? Have you done some strange thing..how do you call it…. over-clocking?” of course I haven’t done anything else more than Fedora installation!
The second a bit less positive: “this fu****ing sw to manage my ipod have lost the freshly created playlist…against!”. Here I have to say I haven’t found a good (intuitive) alternative to iTunes on Linux and it is the only defect she have found and she continuously remember me on the new system.
Any suggestion of a good iTunes alternative?

An interesting point is that she haven’t yet asked me for any document backed up too…it demonstrate that wife (and I think almost “normal” user) is ready also for a pure net-pc in a cloud environment having everything she need stored in her google account and/or other online service (except pictures and movies of our daughter for which we have a RAID of external disks ). And please note my wife is non-geek, but really intensive computer user.

Don’t worry I’m not transforming this blog in a food blog full of recipes and tastes. Just a single post to inform my readers who share passion for wines with me that I’m compiling a simple sheet with my wine tastes, sharing it with a friend of mine (Marek Goldmann) and readable by any person on the internet

Have fun and contact me for any question about my taste…it’s a pleasure for me to spend some minutes sharing my passion. Of course other passionates who would share their tastes are more than welcome. Just let us know.

After some search Alessio pointed me to this excellent post where the problem is well explained and solution provided. The “problem” is not specific to JBossWS and solution explained there is fine for JBossWS too.

Hoping this cross post could help someone looking for the error in relation to JBossWS in google

Of course any point have to stay in 140 chars
As all meme link back the meme, but of course don’t forget to tweet your meme’s post

1. Write a tweet is a lot less time wasting than write a blog post, but permit you to say something
2. Twitter is an interesting flow of ideas, like a world wide pulsing brain, a global stream of consciousness
3. Feedback, answer and discussion through twitter are usual much more than blog comment or pingback. And discussion make us better men

Have fun.

It’s a funny post, containing a code_swarm (a COOOOOOLand funny project!!) video and some little update on how things are going on for the project.

As I’ve written there in comments I signed in in twitter, even if I’m sceptical too (as Mark). Not for sure to say  “I’m on a bus”. But maybe it can have some usefulness as IM broadcaster Something like “take a look to this link” or “Have you an opinion about something?”. But why open a twitter account? Probably the questions is “can you give something to your reader?” Isn’t it the same question you should ask yourself opening a blog?
I still sceptical, but let me try http://twitter.com/maeste

You will find also a new box here in right side bar with my last 5 twitter entries. Let me know if some links or idea I share by twitter have some usefullness for you.

phone ringing

me: “Hello”
other: “Hi, I’m ***, I’m testing your webservices to implement X function of your B2B process”
me: “Ok, and…?”
other: “I’m getting timeout immediately”
me: “well timeout and immediately, seems two words in little contrast…” (some ritual questions about framework used, setting and so on) and finnally
me: “did you force a timeout client side?”
other: “Yes I set it at 300…but I get immediatly timeout”
me: “Immediately….. like 1/3 of second?”
other: “I don’t know…but I set it at 300 seconds, I’m not a newbie”
me: “No for sure, but may I ask if you sure they are seconds…..?”

ROTFL, sure he isn’t a newbie just a ……(put here what you want)……

Well, needless to say the answer about which framework he is using have been “.NET of course”. Yep of course
