My personal space in the internet. Here you'll find links to my projects, as well as my boring blog about programming, languages, politics, photography and a bit of anything that crosses my mind.
No, libogc did not steal RTEMS code
Update 09/05/2025: while the text below addresses a couple of specific blocks of code,
after publishing this article I've been contacted by some people providing more
evidence pointing that the similarity of the code goes beyond what one might
interpret as “inspiration”. There are also a couple of other bits on
information that the reader might want to take into account: first, a
screenshot of an . . .

Porting OpenGL games to the Nintendo Wii: chro.mono
More than one year has passed since my last blog post, and I'm a bit ashamed to
confess that today's post is again about porting games to the Nintendo Wii — I
always tell to myself that I'm soon going to move to something else, possibly
less geeky than this (by the way, there is something else I could write
about, but I'll leave it for another post!), but the problems posed by porting
games to an old console are just way too stimulating, and my brain . . .

libSDL2 and VVVVVV for the Wii
Just a quick update on something that I've been working on in my free time.
I recently refurbished my old Nintendo Wii, and for some reason I cannot yet
explain (not even to myself) I got into homebrew programming and decided to
port libSDL (the 2.x version -- a 1.x port already existed) to it. The result
of this work is already available via the devkitPro
distribution, and although I'm sure there are still many bugs, it's . . .

Will the internet forget russophobia?
I've often wondering what will happen when this horrific war in Europe will
finally be over. I won't be discussing politics here, but what is mostly
interesting to me is how (and if) all the companies who made high proclaims
about not doing business with Russia will justify their getting back into the
Russian market. They will probably count on the fact that the war will be long,
and that people will forget what these companies' stance was. After all, the
world has forget . . .

Un editoriale di Marco Travaglio
Nonostante io non legga pi Il Fatto Quotidiano (per i motivi spiegati
qui, che restano tuttora
validi), continuo a imbattermi negli editoriali di Marco Travaglio, che spesso
apprezzo. Oggi invece mi sono imbattuto nell'introduzione del suo nuovo libro

A peace plan for Ukraine
Among the peace plans proposed by various European and U.S. politicians, to be
frank, I haven't read a single one which I would consider even remotely
feasible. My impression is that such plans have been redacted more for a need
to fool one's voters and present onself as a peace operator (whereas one
factually supports sending of weapons and tightening of sanctions) than for a
genuine peace effort, since every politician that had spent even just a few
minutes to document . . .

Back to Maemo!
New year, new job. After leaving
Canonical I'm back to working on the same
software platform on which I started working back in 2006: Maemo.
Well, not exactly the vanilla Maemo, but rather its evolution known as Aurora
OS,
which is based on . . .

Leaving Canonical, again
For the second time, I'm being shown
the door at Canonical. Well, technically, this time it was me who handed over my
resignation, but that was only after I was told in very clear terms that I
would eventually be fired. No timeframe was given, but since I don't
particularly enjoy the feeling of checking my e-mail every morning to find out
whether this is the day when I'm being fired, I decided . . .

The “idiotism” of software developers
Before you get angry at me for this title, please let me state that I count
myself in the number of the “idiots” and, secondly, that what I mean by
“idiotism” here is not to be intended as an offence, but as some traits of
mindset which are typical of very logical brains.
Some months ago I finished reading Dostoevskiy's “The Idiot”, a book about an
exceedingly good-hearted man, prince Lev Mishkin, whose behaviour was puzzling
the people around him so . . .
