The madness is on me, and here is a poem about Rs232 (serial port) done along the lines of “movesi il vecchierel” (an italian poem), probably not many people will understand because it is technical (and because isn’t easy to me to translate in English something that isn’t clear in Italian!)

TX and RX travel … (June MMX)

The TX signal is walking on the slow BUS
to the address where he provided his CRC
and the RX is dismayed
seeing that the signal is going to death

thence dragging wrong parity
for the extreme slowness of his time to live
the buffer of the port disconnected
tired to wait for, the high impedance has placed

and passing through the diode it is following the circuit,
to seek another way
still hoping to see RTS high

so, lazy, sometimes I’m searching
who, desperate son, has the diode mounted upside down!

Cristian Melone 2010.

If you’ve better translation please see this article in Italian and write a comment with your translation!

This recipe is original of the 1913, was dictated  from the cook of  “4 Mori” restaurant, to the the grandmother of a colleague of mine (her nickname is Zia!) You can download  the pdf here

This is the translation (REMARK: the original was written in old language so forgive me for mistakes and if something is missed!):

Fish Cacciucco

Saute onion, celery, parsley, garlic and hot pepper.
When he took the hazel pour about a glass of wine (according to the amount of the soup).
When the wine is dried put tomato sauce, or whole tomatoes, make them taste and then put a bit of water. When it boils put the fishes, first the harder then the others, when it is almost cooked, add water depending on the amount of soup. Meanwhile, toast the bread (and sliced like the bread that in the past was used by our grandparents to put in coffee, better if it’s homemade). When toasted rub with a little of garlic.  After put the soup over the bread if is  possible don’t make it too wet.

Times ago I played bass guitar in a Jazz group that was created only just for one night and that then has never  played again, someone recorded that night, this is the result:

The Tie Jazz – Track 1

The Tie Jazz – Track 2

The Tie Jazz – Track 3

I’ve just added two new section “Creation” and “Gallery”

In these sections it will be present some of my works Audio/Video/Text and some picture. I’m not a professional photographer but I like to show the place where I’ve been. In my mind I’ve some small project that I would like to share with all the people. See you soon!

After a lot of time I managed to rebuild my personal web-site, I had little time to stay there behind, perhaps there will some graphics issue and “work in progress” pages but I will try to manage my small space often than before!

Until now  the website was only in Italian, but because it’s a .com domain, so international I’ll write in both English and Italian!

Greetings to all
