A quick post

It’s hot and humid. Very hot and humid here. (30+ degrees C, but feels like 40 degrees – hot) I’m sitting here in my undies with the fan blowing towards me and the laptop, which has been giving signs that it too is starting to suffer from the effects of the heat.

The vampire like creatures that go by the common name of mosquitoes are feasting on my blood, as usual.

I’m worried that my pc is going to keel over and die from the heat, come to think of it, it’s not the only thing that may keel over.

Trying to understand how to connect web pages to databases, with some success, but not yet enough to do what I want to do.

Stop reading, start speaking

Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.

Playing with a CMS system which goes by the name of Mambo – open source, free and very powerful. *CMS – Content Management System – a sort of easier way to keep a website up to date.

And finallyish, my poor overworked computer has joined the Apache tribe!

And finally, the vote on introducing test tube babies into the living museum was a flop – most probably because not many could be bothered to stay in the main cities and go and vote on account of the heat. Good tip if you don’t want people to vote: hold your election on a weekend in a hot month of the year – everyone will be out of town and therefore won’t go to any polling stations.

That’s it. Got to attempt to get some sleep – not easy with the little vampires buzzing around in their endless search for blood, I can tell you.

Berlusconi’s Lawyers: Niccolò Ghedini and Piero Longo

By now most people will know that Italy’s controversial prime minister Silvio Berlusconi is facing charges in connection with prostitution and abuse of office. As you might expect Berlusconi’s case is being managed by two of Italy’s top lawyers.

One is Niccolò Ghedini and the other is Piero Longo, and both are members of Berlusconi’s party and are serving parliamentarians.

The transformation of words

In Italian the verb ‘fornire’ means to supply, which is similar to the French ‘fournir’. Both words seem to have their origins in Latin, seeing as one word in Latin which means the same is ‘orno’.
