Interesting how Skype, after a few years I thought they were under the radar (no idea what the Skype Phone fate was, in Italy it flopped big time), comes back with an interesting, as simple as it comes, translation of AdWords.

Thanks to this guy I finally solved the WordPress 3.0 cache problem “Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 2356995 bytes) in /ANY-DIRECTORY/public_html/wp-includes/http.php on line 1331″. My hosting is the super cheap and crash-friendly Tophost.

How I solved it? went to the file manager and just added this line after the <?php tag:

define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’64M’);


Works fine now. At least until the next bloody upgrade

I loved the latest video like “The incredible machine videogame” for “This too shall pass”

A year after Project Natal and the huge hype that was created, Microsoft decided to keep it low profile to avoid too much hype. Honestly, the demos of people playing project Natal (scan the skateboard and go) looked way too good to be true. Everyone was like: “how the hell can we use this? I don’t know, but I want it!”.

I mean, in just ten years did we go from the Nintendo Power glove to this?
