Moka Drink

moka drink The moka drink is my personal caffeine drug. I love it, and I drink it since I was 8.

That is a wonderfull drink that can be bought only in Cosenza (Calabria, Italy) and is made only with coffee, carbonated water and sugar (mmh… it’s like a coffee-soda).

It has a very long story and is very appreciated in Cosenza but, I don’t know why, it isn’t reselled anywhere outside there.

Maybe I’ll suggest to the guys on ThinkGeek to add that on the caffeine category of their shop.

phpCollab community forum hacked (again)

This is the 4th time that the phpCollab community forum, based on phpBB plus, was hacked.

I’ve liked a lot that forum but actually I, and the other dev team members, cannot check every single day if a new XSS o bug is discovered and if there is patch to download, we’re too busy by our payed day job to working also on something different than the phpCollab development.

With the new releases of phpBB also the update/patching process is begone long and boring with a lot of files to move, rename, update..

Now I’m thinking to switch to another OOS forum, but I don’t know what, the community doesn’t need a zillion features forum, but needs something easy to manage, to use and to restore.

Any ideas? (oh, obviously I need to import all the old messages…)

webdev days…

this is my very first (personal) post in english, please forgive my syntax, my poor dictionary (I know only a lot of tech words) and grammatical error… Btw I’ll improve it.. be sure ;)

I need some holidays, a year or two…

My head is near to explode after a full month on php, js, a very intricated and old db (that I cannot change for compatibility with an old application), some experiment on ajax and on CSS.

This one is the thing I hate more, the IE behaviour for the float things is driving me crazy… And my clients will never understand that I’M NOT A WEB DESIGNER but a developer… sigh…
