L’avventura nel mondo sconosciuto. La Guerra.
Il Valhala. L’isola.
L’ottimismo. Il volere costruire qualcosa di buono.
Il ritorno alla relta’. La sconfitta.

Il finale a masticar pistazi, o ad affettare melanzane, poiche’  “Non si viveva poi cosi’ bene in italia: non ci hanno lasciato cambiar niente. Allora ho detto. avete vinto voi. Ma almeno non riuscirete a farmi vostro complice.”

Mediterraneo acquista valore piu’ si invecchia. “Dedicato a tutti quello che stanno scappando” nel 1991 mi suonava astruso. Oggi e’ diventato il mio stile di vita. Devo trovare un’isoletta greca dove aprire un ristorante.

It took me one week end to be successful. The instructions found around in the web are far from being complete. Navigami is a very nice Java application to build tracks on landmarks in easy and intuitive way, in my opinion better than Nokia Maps (I still do not understand why the compass in Navigami is not very accurate: if you know why, please tell me what should I do). Nevertheless, the installation of Navigami maps is quite tricky. Read below and follow step by step the instructions. I assume you know how to pair devices via BT.

.Hardware and basic software you need

- Pc with Windows XP, JAVA and Nokia PC suite
- Mobile Device with Java Support (like Nokia 6700)
- External or Integrated GPS Receiver (integrated in Nokia 6700)
- BT dongle

1) Download of the necessary additional software

a.    Go http://www.navigami.com/download/navigami.jar and download the .JAR file to your PC on c:\ – I did not need the .JAD
b.    I’ve a DIKOM BT dongle. With Windows XP BT drivers nothing worked out. I needed to download the WIDIKOM drivers. You find them at  http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php – save the package on your PC.
c.    Download and save to your PC in c:\ the file comproxy.jar http://www.navigami.com/download/comproxy.jar and in c:\Windows\system32 the file rxtxSerial.dll http://www.navigami.com/download/rxtxSerial.dll

2)    Installation protocols for Win XP and Nokia 6700 mobile phone and BT setup

a.    Install the WIDIKOM BT drivers. If you have already installed the XP BT drivers, leave them there and just don’t use them. Restart the PC. To check if your WIDIKOM drivers work, try to connect via BT your mobile and Nokia PC Suite. It should work out easy. After the test I left the Nokia PC suite open and connected to the mobile – I do not know if it is necessary.

b.    If Nokia PC Suite works properly via BT, now it is time to setup the COM port you will use to connect navigami and your PC via BT. Go to advanced configuration/local services of the BT WIDIKOM program (right click on BT WIDIKOM taskbar icon) and push Add serial device (in my case COM17 came out – I set secure connection not required). Follow the requests to finish the setup of the new COM port. Now the port to exchange data between Navigami and XP is set.

c.    Install navigami.jar on your mobile. Drag it on Nokia PC Suite or just double click on it, as .jar should be opened by default by Nokia PC suite. Now it is time to go out of your cave for some minutes to get Navigami memorize at least one GPS coordinate (this will be the coordinate used to auto download the maps later). Start Navigami when you are outside with open sky on your head, stay in Navigami main screen so that you can give a look to the satellite icon for satellite lock. My Nokia 6700 takes as long as 10-15 minutes to have satellite locks. When I am lucky, 1-5 minutes are enough. While waiting, play around with Navigami to get confident with it, as no manual is written yet – do not play with networking settings, though! Once you get the satellite lock, you can save the position as a landmark and go back home to your PC.

d.    Install comproxy.jar on the PC. XP Start button/Run and write java -jar c:\comproxy.jar – a DOS window opens together with a small window. In the small window select COM17 (or the COM number you obtained in BT WIDIKOM when you added the COM port) and press Start.

3)    Navigami connection to PC (tricky step)

Open Navigami on your mobile and go on Settings/Network. Set the Proxy on Bluetooth, click on Search, find your PC and select it. Then tick the Enable option and left soft key/save . If going out and back in the menu Settings/Network the option Enable does not remain ticked, it means there was no connection between comproxy on the PC and navigami on the mobile. Be sure you selected the same COM port in Widikom and comproxy. Be sure your devices are paired via BT. If so, when you went on Settings/Network and set Proxy on Bluetooth, after search Navigami should have found your PC and announced “PC name” connected. If you are not able to pair navigami with comproxy, then no need to go futher

4)    Download of the maps

Now the magic part. Go on Maps/Manage Maps on Navigami. You should get a white screen with the last coordinates and a small red dot in the middle. This means: you’ve no maps installed. Bring the DOS window on the front in your PC – just to see what happens when you request map download in the next step. Left soft key/Download maps on the mobile. If your mobile tries to connect via wap, a error 27 will return. If this happens, it means your comproxy and navigami are not paired. Try to fix the problem by repeating the previous steps more carefully. If you see code scrolls on the DOS window and the mobile screen becoming red and maps appearing: CONGRATULATIONS! You installed the map relative to your position!  Enjoy now tracking and exploring!

And now my question: If you can help me to surf the web on my Nokia 6700 through BT, I will be very thankful I did not manage it, yet.

B.) Ora passo la parola al presidente Clooney…io non considero la lngua serba bellissima. La nostra è molto più musicale. Aspetto ancora un’opera in serbo…

B.) Abbiamo fatto entrambi studi classici e sappiamo di essere legati alla Serbia dalla storia. Abbiamo ricordato i vari imperatori romani nati in quel Paese, non ricordiamo se siano 13 o 19 ma tra di loro c’è il grande Costantino

T.) Mi dispiace che nel Milan non ci sia nessun giocatore serbo anzi c’è Stankovic che gioca nella squadra avversaria. Se dovesse segnare un gol nel prossimo derby i nostri rapporti potrebbero peggiorare

T.) C’e’ amicizia tra serbi e italiani. Pochi giorni fa c’è stato un concerto di Eros Ramazzotti in Serbia e lo abbiamo vissuto come un nostro cantante

Il livello culturale di Berlusconi e Tadic farebbe impallidere chiunque: non so chi sia migliore a sparare stupidaggini. Davvero c’e’ amicizi tra serbi e italiani.

I leave you, productive society

Another dreamer gives up
I leave you to live
I leave you to love
I leave you because I love the night
and I do not care the morning having gold in its mouth

I leave you for the light of the candles in the night
I leave you for the satisfaction of the music played
when everybody sleeps planning its future tomorrow

I leave you, productive society
because I surely realized you deny life
you deny dreams
you deny

I leave you to those poor men
believing in success
and power
and command
as being witness of a God who doesn’t exist.

Being my God told to say: live like a bird
And so I will.

Who knows me, knows how much time did I invest in my job in the last years. No evenings at home, no week ends, and this year no holidays, too. The projects I am involved in, or my low intelligence level, required so. Almost three months ago I sent my project for revision to my supreme leader. He possibly changed his priorities towards my project, or he never had any, as his necessary revision is not yet on the table. I start to doubt if I will ever get some revision. No revision, no result, time wasted. Nice prospective.

So, I find myself having a lot of boring time to fill up. Writing application letters for new jobs makes this time even worst, as I got no positive answer yet after many (and I mean MANY) CVs sent around the world.

It is terrible to be just above 30 and to feel completely useless for my own and society development. I really envy the previous generation of workers, sitting in the same company for all their life. I know blaming old choices or crying on myself will possibly not solve any problem – but for time to time I need it – before it is too late.

E anche Gasparri, Quaqliarello e compagni di merende. Ero giusto un po’ depresso perche’ non riuscivo a trovare lavoro, quando ecco che si cerca di varare lo stupendo ddl “ragionevole durata” (bel nome, saranno stati influenzati dalle avventure del Presidente). Con la sostanziale depenalizzazione (e’ parola dei magistrati rosso togati comunisti farabutti dell’Anm) di:

abuso d’ufficio
corruzione semplice e in atti giudiziari
rivelazione di segreti d’ufficio
truffa semplice o aggravata
frodi comunitarie
frodi fiscali
falsi in bilancio
bancarotta preferenziale
intercettazioni illecite
reati informatici
ricettazione
vendita di prodotti con marchi contraffatti
traffico di rifiuti
vendita di prodotti in violazione del diritto d’autore
sfruttamento della prostituzione
violenza privata
falsificazione di documenti pubblici
calunnia e falsa testimonianza
lesioni personali
omicidio colposo per colpa medica
maltrattamenti in famiglia
incendio
aborto clandestino

… mi si e’ aperto un mondo di possibilita’ lavorative tutto d’un botto. Non so se iniziare a corrompere, fare qualche reato informatico, rivendere merce rubata via ebay, trafficare in rifiuti ospedalieri oppure diventare pappone

… are always so charmant! Let’s see if you get which one is this

Oggi c’e’ una bella collezione di gens italica che induce a forte malessere sul Corriere della Sera. Tutti assieme: per caso, o perche’ il loro numero  e’ ormai cresciuto eccessivamente? Scorrendo la pagina web dall’alto al basso:

Corona “sfrecciava a 220 chilometri orari alla guida di una fiammante Lamborghini ‘Gallardo’. Era senza patente, ritiratagli in Italia. Il fotografo è incappato in una pattuglia all’altezza del ponte-diga di Melide dove il limite massimo è di 80 chilometri”

Minzolini “L’onda di Tangentopoli e la stagione di Mani Pulite hanno cancellato l’immunità dalla Costituzione”

Giovanardi “Cucchi drogato, è morto perché anoressico”

Santanchè “Maometto era poligamo e pedofilo. Una moglie aveva 9 anni”

Bleuuuuurgh … troppi in una volta, non ce l’ho fatta a trattenermi.
