Con la pallavolo nel cuore
December 3, 2011 // Posted in friends | 1 Comment
The male component of sacchibelli family, in the past, used to be a volley player of Audaces. Together with my team mate we experienced very funny moments and sometimes we achieved also some good result. But the main value of that team was the friendship. So, after many years, it happens that we still spend some time together, maybe eating a pizza and remembering about our past common experiences, but looking also at the future. Yesterday, after the tennis (someone still plays tennis after volley retirement) we met all together and we had a really nice evening. Thanks a lot.
L’ultimo bacio
December 1, 2011 // Posted in Uncategorized | 1 Comment
The title of this post does not refer to the famous movie, but to the consequences of the blood examinations of the male component of Sacchibelli’s family. So, although today Silvia prepared amazingly good “baci di dama”, I just tried only one of them, and in the near future I will have to reduce cheeses, sausages and cakes. In fact, although I was quite happy about examinations results, my doctor was quite rigid, finding bad correlations on cholesterol and triglycerides results…
Mint pizza
December 1, 2011 // Posted in computer, friends | No Comments
One year ago we installed Ubuntu on Antonio’s laptop (see here) but now we moved to linux Mint. It was funny discover that the distribution we tested for fun (and we loved) is now the most popular around the world (see here and although I already moved to Arch Linux yesterday we decide to invite Antonio to introduce him to the Mint experience (and to eat a good pizza with a good friend). So, here we go, now Antonio’s laptop is happily running Linux Mint, and Antonio too was very enthusiastic about it…
Da Lecco a Milano, sempre in bici
November 30, 2011 // Posted in bike | No Comments
Dopo un’estate piuttosto pigra dal punto di vista ciclistico, ora che i freddi e le nebbie cominciano a farla da padrone, con alcuni amici e colleghi ci stiamo applicando con piu’ impegno. Cosi’, sfidando un po’ il meteo (la fortuna aiuta gli audaci….), sabato mattina, con Alessandro (aka, il Pesu), in perfetto stile pedale maiale, abbiamo preso il treno per recarci a Lecco, con le bici al seguito. Arrivati a Lecco, dopo un’abbondante colazione al bar “Dolce Vita”, sul bellissimo lago, siamo partiti, seguendo un percorso interamente ciclabile, lungo l’Adda. Pedalare in mezzo alla natura, con il sole che ci riscaldava e i colori dell’autunno che si accendevano ha reso l’esperienza davvero bella. Una piccola sosta per provare il traghetto di Leonardo, e poi via fino a Gropello d’Adda, dove ci siamo rifocillati al Bar Trattoria “Il Buco” (notevoli sia i casoncelli che la costata). Riparata l’inevitabile foratura si e’ poi partiti verso Milano, sempre piu’ piacevolmente sorpresi del fatto di riuscire ad arrivare quasi in stazione Centrale sempre protetti da un bel percorso ciclabile lungo la Martesana. Che dire, una pedalata meravigliosa. Grazie Ale e, ovviamente, alla prossima.
Although during the summer we didn’t ride too much, in this period I’m doing some good rides with some friends and colleagues. The inspiration is always about Pedale-Maiale, i.e. to ride the bicycle (with public transportation) within nice places and with emphasis on food and drinks. So, together with Alessandro (aka il Pesu) we went to Lecco by train (leaving Pavia early in the morning) and than we rode from Lecco to Milano following a really nice bike path close to Adda river. It was exciting also because we arrived almost in the center of Milano in a safe way. We stopped at Gropello d’Adda where we ate amazingly good “casoncelli della valcamonica” and a really great “costata”. It was a great day. Thanks Alessandro for joining me during this trip.
Cenetta tra amici

To have dinner together with true friends is something we love. So yesterday we were excited to have Teo, Roberto and Nico, three old school mates of the male component, at our place. We shared very nice moments, remembering the past and talking about the future. Thanks to all for making those moments really magic.
Le madeleine
November 20, 2011 // Posted in food | 1 Comment
As you know, Silvia sometimes prepares some good dessert. Today she dcecided to cook some madeleine the amazingly cute french cake. I like them (they are similar to a plum cake), but their shape is really funny. They should looks like a shell, but to me they looks more like little motorboats. Are they cute or not?

Last years, during this period, we went in the Lodi area to eat something good (here the post about that). So this year too we repeated the experience, and together with Antonio and Fernando, also Dana, Nico and little Leo joined us. The restaurant we have chosen Cascina Lorenza was not as good as expected, but the day was really nice. After lunch we decided to visit the historic center of Crema, a really interesting place, and we had the opportunity to eat a great “gelato” stopping at Gelateria Bandirali, a really impressive “gelateria”. Thanks to our friends for spending with us such a nice day. And next year we will look for a better restaurant….

Our friend Marco moved from California to Grenoble six months ago. This is a good news for us becaute it is now easier to meet with him, with his wife Anna and with little Matteo. Yesterday he stopped in Pavia while he was traveling around the world and although Anna and Matteo were not present, it was really cool to have the possibility to share with him the time for an appetizer. Thanks for coming and thank for being a true friend to us. We hope to visiti you and your lovely family soon in Grenoble
Una cioccolata con Carlos

In the past days a colleague from Marvell Spain visited our offices. During the weekend we had the intention to organize something of interesting with him, but unfortunately weather conditions were very bad. However we were able, at least, to meet with him in the afternoon to spend some time together and to eat a good “hot chocolate”.
Linux Mint 11 on Toshiba Satellite U305

sudo apt-get install git(git e’ un software per il version control)cd ~/Downloadsgit clone git://omnibook.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/omnibook/omnibook(questo comando ricostruisce la struttura di file e directory del progetto omnibook sul vostro PC)- Sostituire il file omnibook/laptop.h con questo (laptop.h) in cui l’unica modifica consiste nell’aggiunta delle righe relative al modello U305)
makesudo make install- modprobe omnibook ectype=12 userset=1
- Questo comando carica il modulo omnibook che dovrebbe permettere di attivare il bluetooth.
hcitool deve’ il comando che dovrebbe elencare i dispositivi bluetooth trovati
Here at Sacchibelli we are quite linux oriented, as our readers probably already know. There are many reasons why we prefere Gnu/Linux to Microsoft and Apple products, but we don’t want to convince the world about that. It is just enough to be free to choose for the open source Operating System. Recently we are moving from Ubuntu to Linux Mint another Debian oriented distribution, more Gnome based than Ubuntu. We are just testing it but first results are very encouraging. In particular, for my Toshiba Satellite U305, last Linux Mint release (11) works almost out of the box. The only trick is about Bluetooth activation, as described here.
sudo apt-get install git(git is a version control software)cd ~/Downloadsgit clone git://omnibook.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/omnibook/omnibook(this command builds the tree of the omnibook project inside the PC)- To replace omnibook/laptop.h with this one (laptop.h) where the only modification has been made to add compatibility with U305 model)
makesudo make install- At next reboot, Bluetooth device will be recognized
hcitool devis the command to check it
