My latest purchase, something that I really shouldn&#8217;t have bought, the Parrot AR.Drone:</p>
<p>A pretty sturdy, programmable, wi-fi controlled, quad-propeller flying object with cameras and sensors on board.</p>
<p>I had to borrow an iPod to try out the thing, since my Android-powered HTC Dream is a little slow to handle the example application, which is not optimized, and my Linux laptop didn&#8217;t want to connect to the drone (Closed wireless NIC drivers being the primary reason), but it flies very nicely, stable and easy, a eleven years old kid could pilot it without crashing&#8230; Actually an eleven years old boy (my brother) did fly it; and he &#8211; unlike me &#8211; avoided crashing&#8230;

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I need help in choosing the IDE to use for my PHP / Java programming, I had gone with Eclipse for PHP and NetBeans for Java development, now that both have either possibilities, I really have to drop one, but which one?</p>
<p>The choice being between:</p>
<ul>
<li>Eclipse Helios with
<ul>
<li>PDT (PHP Developer Tools)</li>
<li>JDT (Java Developer Tools)</li>
<li>WindowBuilder pro (GUI builder)</li>
<li>CDT (C/C++ Developer Tools)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>NetBeans with
<ul>
<li>PHP Module</li>
<li>Java Module (with GUI builder integrated)</li>
<li>C/C++ Module</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The requirements are:</p>
<ul>
<li>The IDE must be completely free, no proprietary licenses wanted, &#8220;Eclipse Public License (EPL)&#8221; and &#8220;Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL)&#8221; are both good for what I need.</li>
<li>The IDE must be cross-platform, I need to use it both on Windows and on Linux, Mac OS is a plus, but not actually needed.</li>
<li>Software written with it must be free from their licenses, I need to release both GPL licensed software and proprietary licensed software.</li>
<li>It must have a GUI Builder, since I don&#8217;t have the time to meddle with pixel by pixel positioning in code.</li>
</ul>
Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;d like to announce that this site will, from now on, be written in English, or at least my approximation of it.</p>
<p>For at least two reasons, a couple of readers from overseas being the main one, and wordpress spell checker being the second one.</p>
<p>Anyone of you could point out that I can switch off or change the spell checker language, but it would be two-three clicks more than I&#8217;m willing to do.</p>
<p>And I know, these pointless updates are keeping this blog alive.</p>

<h6>Do it if you dare<br />
Leaping from the sky<br />
Hurling thru the air<br />
Exhilarating high<br />
See the earth below<br />
Soon to make a crater<br />
Blue sky, black death<br />
I&#8217;m off to meet my maker<br />
Energy of the gods, adrenalin surge<br />
Won&#8217;t stop til I hit the ground, I&#8217;m on my way for sure<br />
Up here in the air, this will never hurt<br />
I&#8217;m on my way to impact, taste the high speed dirt</h6>
<p>Been there, done that, I can flag out &#8220;Skydiving&#8221; from my list.</p>
<p>Many thanks to Chiara for some moments to remember and, for my part, unique.</p>
<p>No, I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ll be doing that again.</p>
<p>Edit: I was forgetting things, thanks to Emilio too, for putting up with me twice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Diario di Kel Aylin &#8211; Data terrestre 14/05/2975</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">L&#8217;analisi dei banchi di memoria del computer ha rivelato qualcosa di utile, visto che la IA del mio Discoverer era collegata alla IA della <em>Revenant</em> e fungeva da &#8220;scatola nera&#8221; per la M2, ho potuto recuperare l&#8217;intero quadro di cosa è successo, e da questo estrapolarne il vero motivo per cui i <em>Venom</em> erano in primo luogo nel fatidico settore.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In particolar modo è interessante la registrazione della missione precedente alla nostra, ed il suo bersaglio:<br />
Il giorno prima del nostro intervento, una squadra di 5 elementi era stata infiltrata nella stazione split per recuperare un prototipo di astronave, una M6 particolare, giunta da una remota colonia, e dotata di una IA molto avanzata. L&#8217;esito della missione era sconosciuto al momento del nostro ingresso, e purtroppo doveva esserlo, nessuno degli infiltrati avrebbe potuto comunicare con noi.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I 5 uomini furono fatti entrare come tecnici esperti in intelligenze artificiali adattive, e in realtà uno di loro lo era sul serio. gli altri erano due soldati, un pilota ed un tattico, furono tutti assunti dagli split proprio per esaminare quella astronave, attraverso alcuni contatti che il capitano dei <em>Venom</em> aveva.<br />
Suppongo che la loro missione debba essere andata più o meno così: hanno ottenuto totale accesso alla nuova nave, si sono liberati in qualche modo delle guardie di sicurezza, e l&#8217;hanno lanciata, insieme ai due TP contenenti non so cosa, una decina di minuti prima che la <em>Revenant</em> con la scorta si presentasse nel settore.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Da quel momento so perfettamente com&#8217;è andata, gli split ci hanno mandato addosso 3 fregate M7 classe Tiger, una portaerei spaziale M1 classe Raptor (la <em>Oomanckrel</em>), e una mezza dozzina di corvette M6 classe Dragon. Il capitano ha fatto concentrare il fuoco  sulle M7 e sulle M6, riuscendo con l&#8217;aiuto della scorta, composta da 4 M6 e da una M7 classe Centaur, a decimarle, mentre la <em>Revenant</em> (Incrociatore M2 classe Titan) incassava il fuoco sostenuto della <em>Oomanckrel</em> e dei suoi caccia, in poco tempo spazzati via quando poi la M1 ha cercato di superarci per raggiungere la nostra &#8220;acquisizione&#8221;, la <em>Tendril</em>, dopodichè la <em>Revenant </em>ha ceduto, ma non prima di permetterci di scappare.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Un&#8217;altra cosa interessante è il fatto che il capitano Ayas, colui che teneva insieme i <em>Venom</em>, aveva detto chiaramente che la missione era di &#8220;recuperare&#8221; un gruppo di persone e del materiale scientifico, evitando accuratamente di farci capire che il bersaglio effettivo sarebbe stata l&#8217;astronave; ma più che la missione in sé, quello che ha attirato il mio interesse è il contatto per il pagamento della missione, una casella di messaggi nel remoto settore Heretic&#8217;s end&#8230; piuttosto lontano e insolito per i <em>Venom</em>, che generalmente non passano per quei settori. E&#8217; l&#8217;ora di scoprire cosa c&#8217;è dietro tutta questa storia, a parte il fatto che la <em>Tendril</em> è forse una delle astronavi più potenti mai create, ma il suo design ora che faccio mente locale, non mi ricorda niente di già visto&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Ok, è tempo di mandare il mio Mercury a fare qualche compravendita, per non tenerlo inattivo mentre io me ne attraverserò la galassia nel mio piccolo Discoverer&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ho dovuto riattivare la moderazione ai commenti, a causa della ignobile quantità di spam che arrivava, pare che i plugin non riescano più ad intercettarli.<br />
Se riuscirò a trovarne il tempo, tirerò su un mio sistema per il blog, in modo da non richiedere tutto questo lavoro per commentare.</p>
<p>I had to activate comment moderation, the reason being the huge amount of spam comments added in days, it seems that plugins cannot intercept them anymore.<br />
If I manage to find the time needed, I&#8217;ll code and upload my own blog engine, to remove the spam problem once and for all.</p>
