A backward country

Today I am very sad. Italians decided to give credit to Mr. Berlusconi for another government.
Again. Another time, the third.
After two government (1993-1994 and 2001-2005) that were among the worst of Italy's history (and it is a difficult competition, believe me!). Since the end of the XIX century, at least.
We are going to be governed again by a man who owns nearly the whole television system of the country (not to tell about banks, newspaper and god knows what else).
A man who has a very backward concept of women, who has told that Vittorio Mangano (a mafia boss dead in prison some years ago) that worked at his house was an "hero" etc... etc...
What a shame ! Around the world people must think Italy is a very backward country and .. do you know what ? They're absolutely right !

An homemade framework

The main project I am working at the moment is the Asp.Net client for an application development framework we wrote a couple of years ago.
This framework is (heavily) based on a Oracle database, and includes a form designer, a report designer and a query designer client applications (all of them are native win32 applications written in Delphi). This framework allows you to define a complete application without writing native code.
Well, almost a line. In fact, a part from a very very simple application, you have to write some sql and/or pl/sql code; perhaps some scripts in a pseudo-Delphi interpreter which is also included in the system. But that's all. You haven't to write native Delphi code.
My company registered this system with the musically name of "Ouverture".
More on this in the next posts...

First post

Hello all,

The purpose of this blog is to share (and help me organize) thoughts about my work and like.
I have been working as a computer programmer since 1988 and have seen many different
technologies since then.
