All Blacks ready for Italy

Tomorrow is the long awaited day of the clash between Italy and the All Blacks in San Siro, Milan, where 80.000 supporters are ready to cheer for their favourite team but most of all to enjoy a good afternoon of rugby.


Statistics are awfully against Italy, who lost their last match 27-6 in June. Longing for a try!

How to test a very particular factory

@Test(expected=IllegalArgumentException.class)
public void makeBaby() {
  Family family = moz.getFamily();
  assertNotNull(family);
  assertEquals((2, family.getChildren().size());)
  BabyFactory factory = family.getWife();
  assertNotNull(factory);
  Baby babygirl = factory.makeBabyGirl("Mila");
  assertNotNull(babygirl);
  family.addChild(babygirl);
  assertEquals(3, family.getChildren().size());

  boss.askForRaise(moz);
}

Probably you should also set a timeout for the test, which should complete in about 40 weeks ;-)

6th Italian Agile Day

Better late than never, let me remind you the 6th Italian Agile Day which will be held in Bologna on November 20, 2009. Due to previous engagements (do I hear "baby girl coming"?) I won't be able to be there, but if the coverage will be as good as the one provided last year I won't miss the contents.


What I'll surely miss is the opportunity to meet so many brilliant people at the same time...

Protect your children

Reading this article makes me think that I'm probably the only fool that changes his car because it is too small to allow all children seats to be properly positioned...

Well I'm happy to be a fool! When people tell me that I could always have a car crash with a madman running at 160 mph - in which case my efforts would be useless - I always answer that I can't control madmen, but I do have control on what I do. If spending money can save the life of my children, I am definitely going to spend it. I don't care if everyone laughs at me, I'm grown enough to have a mind of my own. And, guess what, I agree with it ;-)

The same goes for allowing people to smoke near me or my family: even though our world is polluted - and I can't control that - if I can spare us just the tiniest bit of crap I will. End of story. Sayonara. Bye bye.

More reading stats

Yesterday I hit book 50... 19426 pages. I still have almost three months ahead to further increase my stats, even if I hope I will have less free time.

As an aside, today I saw quite a round number in my stats:



Cool, so I just posted it!
