Did you ever had really bad experiences with a customer services call center? Well… I did! Actually I’ve been satisfied by customer services and call centers just few times. This is why I really enjoyed the Call Center Movie Enjoy it! EDIT 14-04-2010: the link above seems now broken. You can still watch the movie

Submitted by fabio on Sun, 2007-05-13 14:29. I’m studying for the course of “Programming Paradigm” (traslation of Paradigmi di Programmazione) where we study different programming approaches by using some new programming languages. The first programming language we are using is ocaml, a functional programming oriented language (for more informations read the ocaml Wikipedia page). As first exercise

I use Thunderbird as my email client. I’m very satisfied with it: I spend a considerable amount of time writing/reading emails and Thunderbird has always been a wonderful tool for this. Two features I always missed from Thunderbird were the ability to sort the different accounts on my profile to my taste and defining a default start up

My friend Bart from educasoft.be has just uploaded this very nice video where he used his FreeIMU v0.3.1 with Unity 3D to move the head of an human body model following the movements of his FreeIMU.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Fablab Italia, the fablab that has been established as part of the Stazione Futuro exhibition. A Fab Lab (fabrication laboratory) is a small-scale workshop offering digital fabrication. Fablab Italia offers many useful tools to create your own project. Fablab Italia offers: a Makerbot Thing-O-Matic 3D printer a Z-corp professional 3D printer a Roland MDX-40A professional milling machine a

My friend marco just published another video of his quadcopter flying using FreeIMU. Awesome result and I really like the GoPro HD video.

I’m cleaning my workshop and I do have some breakout boards which I’m not going to use so I’d like to sell them if someone is interested. All of them are new and tested. Here is what I have: 6 5 4 3 2 1 breakout boards for ITG3200 25 euro SOLD OUT! Thanks! 6 5 4 3 2 breakout boards for ADXL345 20 euro

I spent the last days working on the MS5611-01BA high resolution pressure sensor. I wrote an Arduino library for it which you can find on my bzr repository: browse repository download library use bzr co http://repository.varesano.net/MS561101BA/ to get a copy directly using bzr. the MS5611 library is now part of the FreeIMU library. Please refer to the FreeIMU library for

This is a mathematical problem I’m facing these days.. here you go. I do have a sphere of known radius which does have a coordinate frame rigidly attached to it. Let’s call the coordinate frame attached to the sphere XYZs. The sphere can be rotated and displaced arbitrarily with respect to a fixed coordinate frame

This is myself reworking and reflowing a breakout board for the ITG3200. I use hotair gun and tack flux. Check it out! p.s.: obviously inspired by this other video by curiousinventor.com, highly recommended.
