5 literary hamlets to visit in Italy
Are you a fan of literature? In Italy, every place inspires poetry. Here is a literary tour by Visit Italy!
In Italy, the cradle of art and culture, there are many hamlets that have witnessed among their streets the birth, growth or just the last years of life of the greatest characters of Italian literature. Corners of Italy that have been a source of inspiration for the works of various poets and writers.
Countless places in beautiful Italy inspire beauty and poetry: we cannot list them all, but we certainly wanted to select a first idea for a literary tour.
Let's discover together 5 of the literary hamlets to visit in Italy.
5. Marche: Giacomo Leopardi's Recanati
In the hinterland of the Marche Region, on the top of a hill, stands the famous small town of Recanati, not far from Macerata. Here is where Giacomo Leopardi, writer, philosopher, philologist and the greatest poet of the Italian nineteenth century, was born in 1798. Immersed in the extraordinary hilly landscape of the Marche region, Recanati was a great source of inspiration for Leopardi, and walking through its streets you can breathe the life, history and works of the great poet.
Just think of "l'ermo colle" (solitary hill) of the poem "L'Infinito" (The Infinite), a poem linked precisely to the beautiful views of this town, or the square overlooked by Palazzo Leopardi, which was the family home of the writer, that today takes the name of one of his most famous works "Il Sabato del Villaggio" (Saturday in the Village).
Obviously, during your visit to Recanati, you cannot miss a stop at Casa Leopardi. Palazzo Leopardi is famous for being the birthplace of Giacomo Leopardi, where the heirs of the family still reside today. Among the rooms that can be visited, there is also the large library, where the poet used to study.
Another Leopardi's place par excellence is the Orto sul Colle dell'infinito (Garden on the Hill of The Infinite). This is the garden of the ancient Monastery of San Stefano, where Leopardi set his most famous poem: "L'Infinito". Also worth seeing is the Tower of the Borgo, dating back to the twelfth century and the heart of the city, from which you can have a spectacular view, thanks to its 36 meters of height.
4. Tuscany: the Castagneto Carducci hamlet
Founded as Castagneto Marittimo and then become Castagneto Carducci in 1907, in honor of the famous poet who spent here the first years of his childhood, the village is located in the heart of the Maremma of Livorno, perched on a hill, a few kilometers away from the Tyrrhenian coast.
This village overlooking the sea is full of enchanting views to which Giosuè Carducci, the first Italian Nobel Prize for literature, dedicated countless verses.
You cannot miss a visit to the district of Bolgheri, located a few kilometers northwest of Castagneto Carducci, to which Carducci dedicated the verses of the ode "Davanti San Guido", in which he describes the famous cypress avenue, 5 kilometers long, which connects the Oratory of San Guido to the center of Bolgheri. At the end of the famous avenue we also find the Castle of Bolgheri, an imposing manor of medieval origin.
3. Sicily: Modica, between baroque, chocolate and the poetry of Salvatore Quasimodo
Modica is known for several reasons: it is the city of chocolate, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it is the birthplace of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1959, Salvatore Quasimodo.
Salvatore Quasimodo was an Italian poet and translator, a prominent exponent of Hermeticism, who spent his childhood in Modica, before moving to Messina; in fact, in his works it is represented the most profound Sicily. But Modica is above all one of the most significant examples, in Italy, of late baroque architecture.
An essential stop when visiting the beautiful Modica is surely the Chocolate Museum, where chocolate, symbol and pride of this land, finds its maximum celebration, among history and flavors.
Noteworthy is also the Mother Church of San Giorgio, monument symbol of Sicilian Baroque, whose facade alone is a real masterpiece. To admire it in all its splendor you can go to the belvedere located in Via San Benedetto da Norcia, the most beautiful belvedere of the city, from which it will be possible to have an incredible view of both Upper Modica and Lower Modica.
2. Lombardy: Gardone Riviera, the abode of the
Small village in the province of Brescia overlooking Lake Garda, situated not so far from Salò, Gardone Riviera is an elegant tourist resort, defined as "Central European", in which there are many historic hotels and period buildings dating back to the Belle Époque.
Here Gabriele D'Annunzio, Italian writer, playwright, poet, soldier, politician, journalist and patriot, authentic symbol of Decadentism, retired in a solitary existence, after the disappointing experience of Rijeka, until his death. In memory of the "inimitable life" of the author it has remained his home-museum, the Vittoriale degli Italiani.
The Vittoriale degli Italiani is a complex of buildings, streets, squares, an open-air theater, gardens and waterways erected between 1921 and 1938 in Gardone Riviera, commissioned by the poet and novelist Gabriele d'Annunzio, who is buried here.
The monumental complex covers 9 hectares, in a panoramic position overlooking Lake Garda. In the complex there are the house-museum of the Vate, the mausoleum of the heroes with the tomb of D'Annunzio, a real ship, the military ship Puglia, large gardens and an open-air theater. A monumental complex unique in its kind, to be visited at least once in a lifetime.
1. Veneto: Arquà Petrarca and the last years of the poet
The medieval village of Arquà Petrarca rises on the Euganean Hills, at the foot of Monte Piccolo and Monte Ventolone, in the province of Padua. It is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and owes its name, as you can well imagine, to the famous poet, writer and precursor of Humanism, Francesco Petrarca, who spent the last years of his life here.
In 1369 Petrarch settled in Arquà in the house that Francesco il Vecchio da Carrara, Lord of Padua, his friend, gave him and which can still be visited today. Petrarch's house, today a small museum dedicated to him, preserves intact the study that welcomed him in the last phase of his life. In fact in 1374, a few years after he moved, Petrarch died.
In this small medieval center, you can breathe the silence and the peace of Padua's hills, and among its alleys you can find many agritourisms where you can taste the typical dish of this area, the bigoli al ragù, to be matched with an excellent glass of wine, one to be chosen among the various fine wines produced here.


A London Underground worker was pushed onto the tracks at one of the network's busiest stations.
British Transport Police released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to in connection with the incident at Victoria station.
A customer service assistant (CSA) was pushed from a District line platform onto the tracks shortly after 10am on Tuesday.
The victim did not sustain any injuries but was left "understandably shaken", according to BTP.
London Underground managing director Mark Wild said: "This was an appalling and dangerous attack on a member of our staff.
"Everyone has the right to go about their day without fear or intimidation and we do not tolerate any form of physical or verbal assault on our staff or customers.
CSAs work inside Tube stations to help manage the flow of passengers on and off trains, oversee ticket barriers and provide help at ticket machines.
Inspector Paula Jones from BTP said: "This was a very serious incident and we have a number of urgent inquiries under way to find the person responsible.
"I would like to hear from anyone who was at Victoria station at the time of the incident and saw what happened.
Anyone with information is asked to contact BTP on 0800 405040 or text 61016 quoting reference 146 of April 10. Alternatively they can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Discussion and delay. That was the theme for some notable pieces of legislation Thursday. While the House and Senate moved on some measures in their respective committees and floors, some bills were set aside and left for another day.
Jim Johnson, director of the West Virginia's new Office of Drug Control Policy, has announced his retirement after almost five months in the position.
The office within the Department of Health and Human Resources was established by lawmakers to coordinate and expand state measures against drug abuse.
Updated Friday January 12 at 4:18 p.m.
State health officials are proposing a multifaceted plan for confronting the drug crisis killing hundreds of West Virginians each year, one that would require action by everyone from lawmakers to doctors to judges to emergency responders to the general public.
Health officials in West Virginia say a plan to combat the state's opioid crisis has been released for public comment.
Tick-borne Lyme disease has spread across West Virginia over the past six years with cases reported in 52 of the state's 55 counties, according to state health officials.
Most cases are reported in the northern and eastern panhandles probably because of their proximity to the high-incidence states of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, the Department of Health and Human Resources said.
The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources announced it has started drug screening benefits applicants of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.
DHHR said in a news release it began screening people who apply for TANF, also known as WV WORKS, early last week.
West Virginia health officials have released an online survey for people interested in obtaining medical marijuana.
Three substance use disorder programs in West Virginia are receiving $1.6 million in funding from the state.
The funding was announced by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, Bureau for Behavioral Health and Health Facilities.
West Virginia University and the state Department of Health and Human Resources have provided park rangers at New River Gorge National River with overdose rescue kits.
The university says in the last decade, there have been five overdoses at the park, none of them fatal. More than a million people visit annually.
A West Virginia hospital is no longer delivering babies.
State Department of Health and Human Resources spokeswoman Allison Adler tells the Bluefield Daily Telegraph that Welch Community Hospital's long-time obstetrician has retired.
A lawsuit filed by two former West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources employees who said they faced retaliation for whistleblowing has been settled.
Former department executives Susan Perry and Jennifer Taylor filed a lawsuit in 2012 against the agency's former acting secretary Rocco Fucillo, deputy secretary Warren Keefer and Bryan Rosen.
A bill to legalize medical marijuana in the state is bypassing the committee process, putting it on the fast track for a vote in the House. Senate Bill 386 was read for a first time on the floor Thursday night after a 54 to 40 procedural vote to bring it straight to the floor.
The vote has been called historic in the chamber. But several delegates argued pulling the bill out of the committee process was the only way members would get to put the medical marijuana bill to a vote this session.
A senate bill to legalize medical marijuana in the state is being fast-tracked through the West Virginia House of Delegates. Senate Bill 386, which passed out of the state Senate Wednesday night on a 28 to 6 vote, would create the West Virginia Medical Cannabis Act, legalizing medical marijuana in West Virginia.
West Virginia's Department of Health and Human Resources says it will accept applications for emergency low-income energy assistance starting Monday until funds are exhausted.
The federally funded program helps eligible residents who have a termination notice in paying home heating bills.

Dr. Rahul Gupta, state health officer and commissioner of the Bureau for Public Health, says flu activity is widespread in the state.
Parents Struggle to Find Affordable Childcare in W. Va.
Childcare costs are high no matter where you are in the country. But in West Virginia, it's even worse - according to a 2016 report by the think tank New America and Care.com, parents in the Mountain State shoulder the highest cost burden, spending about 45 percent of the state's median household income on childcare.

The Humanities Effect, Social Science, Hard Science, and the Future of Academic History
Perspectives on History, the magazine of the American Historical Association, recently published a very detailed piece on the state of the job market for history doctorates. The author, Robert B. Townsend, presents some interesting data about what happens to people who get PhDs in history. The "bad news" is that only about 30% of the people who started PhDs in 1997 had landed tenure-track jobs by 2007. This is bad news, because most people who start PhDs in history are aiming to become professors.
The good news is that most of the PhD graduates go on to have fulfilling careers in which they make good use the credential they have earned. There are, of course, cases of history PhDs who end up working as real estate agents or in other occupations utterly unconnected to their field. Sometimes this is by choice or because of family reasons. In other cases, they simply can't find an academic job. For the most part, however, the people who don't get tenure-track academic jobs ultimately get positions in government and other organisations that allow them to use the skills they acquired in graduate school. Consider this chart
Even though I'm a Canadian who did his PhD at a Canadian university (Western), I think that the pattern identified by Townsend's data corresponds with what I observed about my colleagues from my PhD programme at Western. Most of the people who were in the programme with me have landed tenure-track jobs. In some cases, they got their jobs after several years on the post-doc/sessional lecturer circuit. Some of the others who didn't get academic positions have found very comfortable niches for themselves working in government. Western began granting history PhDs in the late 1960s. The department has listed the current occupations of all of the PhD recipients since 1990 on its website. The data here is incomplete, particularly for students who finished their PhDs in the last couple of years, but it gives a rough sense of where people have gone.
I was particularly interested in the part of Townsend's article that deals with the so-called humanities effect.
One other change in the ecology of the academic job market is worth noting, as history salaries are now suffering from the "humanities effect." As history has become more closely identified with the humanities over the past 25 to 30 years, history salaries have fallen below the average for all disciplines.
Back in the mid-1980s—when history was more closely aligned with the social sciences—history was above the average in academia. Since then, the discipline has fallen decisively below the average and now stands close to the other humanities fields such as English and Foreign Languages. 6
The disciplinary shift from affiliation with social sciences—often made tangible through administrative shifts of history departments from their universities' School of Social Science—had a direct effect on the resources available to departments. When combined with the large number of PhDs competing for a smaller number of jobs, wages in the discipline have been depressed for members of our discipline.
Townsend is making a very important point here. The discipline of history is torn between the humanities and the social sciences. On the one hand, there are historians who approach history in a way that would not seem unfamiliar to a scholar of English literature or an art historian. On the other hand, there are the historians who incline more towards the social sciences, particularly political science and economics. Most political, diplomatic, and business historians fall into this category. Some history departments are more cultural, others are more social-scientific. Western, my PhD program, is one of the few history departments in Canada that is located in a Faculty of Social Science rather than in faculty of Arts or Humanities and that is reflected in the nature of the history taught and produced there. Some of the most stimulating parts of my graduate education were the joint seminars in which political scientists and economists. When I arrived at Western as a graduate student, I experienced a bit a culture shock, as my undergraduate eduction was at a university where the historians lean strongly in the opposite direction. At the time I completed my BA, my main interests were in the history of political thought. When I arrived at Western, I was thrust into a world in which historians spoke about regression analysis and IR theory.
As a business historian, I now count myself in the category of the social-scientific historians. However, I certainly see value in the humanities and feel it is sad that they are underfunded. I didn't choose to specialize in the more social-scientific branches of history because I thought that there might be a bit more money in that field. I selected my research approach because that's what interested me. However, now that I have ended up where I have, I recognise that there are some financial benefits in avoiding the so-called humanities effect.
Townsend's comments about the humanities effect got me thinking about the future direction of the historical profession. The two fastest growing fields of history right now are digital history and environmental history.
Some of the people who work in the field of digital history are based in history departments. Others are computer scientists. At places like the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University, you have people from various disciplinary backgrounds working alongside each other. Environmental historians work with and draw on the knowledge created by biologists, geologists, environmental scientists, and other hard scientists. Moreover, physical scientists sometimes make use of the research findings of environmental historians. For instance, archival research by environmental historians has allowed us to reconstruct climate data for the past few centuries, which is immensely important for the debate about anthropogenic climate change.
Now, the humanities effect stems from the fact that society values some disciplines that study society (e.g., economics and political science) a bit more highly than others (e.g. literary studies). Economists and political scientists have somewhat more prestige than literary scholars. However, it is safe to say that all of the disciplines that study society rank very low in the view of the general public and policy makers than people in the hard sciences, particularly the STEM subjects. The average taxpayer or legislator might display a slight preference for funding political science over poetry, but the funding allocated to the study of society is minuscule to that governments lavish on Big Science. Since the Second World War and, more particularly, the launch of Sputnik in 1957, governments in Western countries have been very generous in their funding of scientists. Sputnik convinced many in the West that the Soviets had a dangerous lead in science and technology and they responded by shovelling money at the problem with the apparent support of the vast majority of citizens.
Many taxpayers begrudge spending relatively small amounts of money on the humanities and the social sciences, but there is pretty much a consensus in favour of generous support for the hard sciences. The hard sciences enjoy massive prestige in our society. Almost nobody critiques government funding of medical research, particularly on common diseases like cancer and heart disease. Computer science is also generously funded, again because it has massive prestige.
As I said, the two fastest growing sub-disciplines of history are digital history, which marries computer science and historical research, and environmental history. It just so happens that these sub-disciplines of history are closely connected with disciplines that enjoy considerable prestige and financial support in our society (the West) and in all of the other societies that give substantial funding for academic research (e.g., Japan, Korea, Singapore and, increasingly China and some of the Gulf States).
If historians were to adopt a completely mercenary approach towards securing the future of their profession, they would do well to encourage the growth of environmental history and digital public history. This is true for individual academic departments as well. Don't get me wrong. There are perfectly valid non-financial reasons to foster these important fields. In a world with unlimited academic resources, it would still be the right thing to nurture these two branches of historical enquiry. However, in a world of constrained resources, there are additional reasons for wanting to promote them.

Universities that are Centres of Excellence in Digital History
I am currently involved in planning a digitization project that will see primary sources placed online. As part of my preparatory research, I have been looking at some of the leading institutions in the field of digital history in various countries. I wanted to find out which universities were leaders in this new approach to history and what they were doing. I've taken the liberty of posting some of my research notes online.
Keep in mind that my focus is what university departments have been doing in the field of digital history, so this blog post doesn't really deal with the good work being done in the field by national archives, etc.
In the US, the epicentre of digital history is the Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University. George Washington is located in a suburb of Washington DC and is thus conveniently located near the Library of Congress. was established by the late Prof. Roy Rosenzweig in 1994 to research and use digital media and information technology in historical research, education, digital tools and resources, digital preservation, and outreach. Rosensweig, who was born in 1950, was a social historian who went to graduate school during the heyday of quantitative history in the 1970s. At that time, the use of computers in history was pretty much limited to big mainframes used for crunching numbers such as the census of 1860. Rosensweig, who lived to 2007, played a major role in the transformation of historical computing into a mechanism for disseminating data.
Rosensweig based his early research on the labour movement and the history of Central Park on newspapers and other 19th century primary sources. He quickly grasped that the advent of the internet had created a new set of primary sources that ought to be preserved for future historians. The CHMN rose to prominence after the September 11, 2001 attacks, which took digital snapshots of the internet during the catastrophe.
Today, the CHNM provides important resources to different groups of users: elementary secondary school teachers; professors; public historians and museum people; and general history buffs. The resources is has created include online galleries of images, how-to-guides for ditigal humanities, and software useful for people who want to make historical websites.
CHNM is responsible for the development of two impressive open source software projects: Zotero and Omeka. Zotero is a Firefox extension that operates as reference management software. Omeka is a web publishing system that uses the Dublin Core metadata standard to build digital archives, and publish digital exhibits. Both projects are free, and reflect CHNM's dedication to democratizing the practice of history.
Imaging the French Revolution is another experiment in digital scholarship. In a series of essays, seven scholars analyze forty-two images of crowds and crowd violence in the French Revolution. Offering the most relevant examples and comments from an on-line forum, those same scholars consider issues of interpretation, methodology, and the impact of digital media on scholarship.
CHNM has also developed some projects with an explicit focus on broad, public audiences. Gulag: Many Days, Many Lives, a web-based exhibit funded developed in collaboration with the Gulag Museum in Perm, Russia, looks at the Soviet system of concentration camps.
CHMN is funded by a variety of government organizations and charities. It has roughly 30 staff members listed on its website, some of whom are academics.
The director of the CHMN is Dan Cohen, who is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at George Mason University. Click here to see him speak.
His research is on European and American intellectual history, the history of science (particularly mathematics), and the intersection of history and computing. He was the co-author of Digital History: A Guide to Gathering, Preserving, and Presenting the Past on the Web (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005) and the author of Equations from God: Pure Mathematics and Victorian Faith (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007).
The Centre for Computing in the Humanities (CCH) is an academic department in the School of Arts and Humanities at King's College, University of London. It appears to be the leading UK academic department in this field. King's has been a pioneer in humanities computing since the 1970s.
The School of Humanities at King's was rated in the top 3 UK institutions for research excellence in the last four Research Assessment Exercises, the UK government system for ranking research quality and output.
Digital Humanities has been a strategic priority for King's for more than a decade, and CCH has received specific mention in the past three strategic plans of the College, identifying this activity as one of its distinctive strengths. In the current Plan, a core strategic commitment is made to 'Creating Culture', and the College's strength in the digital humanities is seen as central to this commitment.
CCH initiated the world's first PhD programme in Digital Humanities and is responsible for two Masters programmes in the subject: the MA in Digital Humanities and the MA in Digital Culture and Technology. The latter programme, which involves the Schools of Arts and Humanities, Social Science and Public Policy, Physical Sciences and Engineering, and Law, is the most inter-disciplinary programme in the College. From September 2009 CCH will be offering, jointly with the Centre for e-Research, a new MA in Digital Asset Management.
A list of CCH projects is available here. The projects include the Desmond Tutu Digital Archive . Most the CCH projects appear to be designed to appeal to academics rather than the general public, schoolteachers, etc. This makes the CCH very different than the CHNM in the United States, which funds many projects that are connected to the school curriculum.
Moreover, while the CHNM projects mostly deal with relatively recent periods of history (after the invention of photography), the CCH projects tend to be focused on the more distant past. A fairly representative CCH project is the Greek Bible in Byzantine Judaism project. "The aim of the Greek Bible in Byzantine Judaism project is to gather evidence for the use of Greek Bible translations by Jews in the Middle Ages, and to make these texts available to scholars as a corpus, together with the information necessary for an appreciation of their historical background, meaning and exegetical implications."
I think that it is fair to say that the Byzantine Judaism website will generate fewer hits per week than the one about the Gulag. It is still a worthwhile scholarly resource, but the CCH clearly serves a different mandate than the CHNM.
The CCH has been funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; The Arts and Humanities Research Council; The British Academy; The Heritage Lottery Fund; The Leverhulme Trust.
There are roughly 30 members of "core staff" listed on the website.
Canada has no single centre for excellence in this field. However, there are several universities worth mentioning.
Concordia University, Montreal
Concordia University's Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling serves as a point of convergence for collaborative digital historical research, teaching, and publishing among faculty and students at Concordia, as well as members of local, national and international communities. The Concordia Oral History Research Laboratory (COHRL), integrates digital media and oral history to open up new nonlinear ways to access, analyse and communicate life stories.You can listen to the podcasts created by the oral historians here.
The Concordia Digital History Lab uses new media to share the task of historical research and interpretation with online audiences worldwide— researchers, students, and the general public. The Digital History Lab has so far out the following resources online: the S.A. Rochlin Collection of South African Political and Trade Union Organizations Database and the Guantanamobile Project, which tries to inform and collect public opinion about the U.S. detention of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Lab also got money from the SSHRC Image, Text, Sound and Technology fund to create plugins to enhance Zotero, the new open source research tool produced at the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University in the United States that I mentioned above. Zotero helps historians to write their footnotes by automatically grabbing bibliographic information from online library catalogues. It's a great technology. Unfortunately, it doesn't work well with many Canadian websites because the current version can't handle French that well. The SSHRC grant will pay computer programmers to tweak the software so that it works with Quebec online databases and archival collections.
Kevin Kee is the Canada Research Chair in Humanities Computing. He is located in the history department at Brock University. He also runs that Centre for Digital Humanities there. His projects are listed here. Check out these YouTube clips. They are obviously designed for undergrad recruitment, but they give a sense of what Kee is doing.
University of Western Ontario

New Ways of Teaching Canadian History
ActiveHistory.ca has published a piece by Steven Maynard of Queen's University on how he uses the ideas of Michel Foucault in teaching his first-year students Canadian history. "What does a queer, sadomasochistic philosopher have to do with the study of Canada's past?" To find out, read his post. Maynard relates how he applied Foucault's concepts to his lecture on Canada and the First World War. The thing that caught my eye in his piece was that his students organized a Facebook group. I use Facebook in my teaching to communicated information about upcoming lectures, etc, to my students. For instance, I notify my students whenever the PowerPoint Presentation for an upcoming lecture is ready for downloading on our intranet.
While I am on the subject of digital history, I should point out Krista McCracken's ActiveHistory piece on the pitfalls of digital memory.

Our Ontario
I just thought I would let readers know about Our Ontario, which is a collaborative project delivering integrated access to digital collections of libraries, archives, museums, historical societies, galleries, and others. Basically, the website acts as a clearinghouse or portal for information that has already been put online by libraries and other cultural institutions in Ontario. The focus is on Ontario's history and heritage. These resources include government documents, such as the handwritten journal of Upper Canada's first parliament to digitized newspapers.
The project is still in the early stages, but looks sounds very promising.

I've just recorded an interview with Chris White, saxophonist with Dire Straits, in advance of the Dire Straits Experience this Saturday in the Magma Arte y Congresos centre. What a gentleman, great chat about music, the impact Dire Straits had on the post-punk era, with some great memories of his early days with Dire Straits, upgrading from tour bus to airplane to first class travel as the band's popularity grew.

As announced on the Haiku website and reported by IsComputerOn.com, Eric Petit has announced the development of a VMWare graphics driver for Haiku. Based on Be's driver sample code and code inspired by the X.org driver, Eric's driver so far implements RECT_BLIT and cursor functions (the latter are disabled as they are still buggy). The driver is already working as can be confirmed from this screenshot. On his initial post to the Haiku mailing list, Eric is asking for feedback, and has made the sources available in this tarball for those brave souls who would like to test the drivers.
This is great news! Hope someone is working on a mouse driver and NIC too!
Actually, there is mouse driver for vmware in bebits.com that enables the clipboard between the host OS and the VM.
There are two versions, one for zeta and the other for beos; dunno if it works with haiku though.
The more of this the better, since you can bet that most of the world will try Haiku R1 in a virtualized environment before they think of reserving space on a bootable partition.
Now there is a NIC driver for VMware. It's posted in a SoftwareValet package on BeBits. At one point Haiku used a GCC that could not compile the driver; does anyone know if that's no longer true? Also, is anyone working on a SoftwareValet for Haiku (kinda important if we're so interested in having the current repository of BeOS software run on Haiku)?
If the network stack hasn't been finished, what good is the NIC driver going to do?
I'll be one that runs in a VM before installation to test the waters.
Without a NIC driver, what good is a netstack?
I had read the stack is somewhat operational, but that it took some jumping through hoops to get it to communicate. I also don't think any web browsing can be done in this state. Hopefully it will be done soon, as TCP/IP is a pretty big component for an OS to be usable today.
I'm looking forward to Haiku getting to beta. That will be a pretty big milestone in and of itself.
One of my several BeOS/Haiku related projects is a simple .pkg file reader/installer. I don't plan on recreating all the other stuff that SoftwareValet had.
I've done a good bit of reverse engineering of the pkg format, and have successfully extracted some of the zipped data inside a pkg file, as well as having a good idea of the various fields within the file.
I'm continually surprised at how many people don't know this – as there are pictures of Haiku running Firefox/Net+ in VMWare from well over a year ago now.
I knew that there was an ipro1000 driver and that VMWare can emulate that NIC, but unfortunately it is not the default and most people have no idea. The vlance driver is FAR more important for the simple fact that it's the default NIC under VMware.
It's nice to see Haiku adding new driver support for virtualization. The majority of people who want to try Haiku will probably do it in a virtual machine first.
It's nice to see Haiku doing so well, and i think it's come to a stage where we will see more and more applications for it.
…for those brave souls who would like to test the drivers.
How brave do you need to be to test a driver inside a virtual OS?
And there goes the little advantage syllable had over haiku,dont wanna seemsarcastic but. BAM!
Last time I tried Syllable is was so buggy. Haiku feels years ahead of Syllable.
Great to hear that the transmission author is back and working on BeOS/Haiku things.
Thanks for you efforts Eric.
Syllable has bugs. So does Haiku. Haiku has more developers, so I'd expect to see them fix more bugs quicker than Syllable. Let's also not forget that Haiku can draw on existing, debugged, working code that Be released. On Syllable we're having to write our own desktop and file manager.
What's Open Source for if you can't borrow from friends?
Did you ever consider using Open Tracker for Syllable?
Yes, briefly. Syllable isn't trying to re-create BeOS and OpenTracker obviously depends on a lot of BeOS functionality, so we would have either had to ensure Syllable provided that functionality in the same way BeOS did or re-write large parts of OpenTracker to fit Syllable. Neither of which were really worth it.
I think the biggest advantage Haiku has over syllable is that their developers know the code that makes the OS because they had to make it themselves. Syllable got the OS from Kurt, who now longer seems to work on it.
The same is true for Zeta. They inherited code from BeOS and are just tinkering. If palmsource opened the source, that would have made things easier for haiku at first but then you wouldn't have a team that knows how to put a whole OS together. So I'm glad palmsource didn't open the source and I'm glad they didn't wait for a finished kernel either even though it meant more work. On the other hand, they still have a foundation.
It's sort of how linux started. linus used the closed source minix as a foundation and made linux his own way so he is an expert. Then he was able to get the existing minix community on board. Community is also important for an OS.
You'd be surprised at how much of the codebase has been either written new, rewritten or changed from the original AtheOS code, so it's not really a case of familiarity. I'm pretty sure that after five years, anyone can be pretty familiar with any codebase. Our biggest problem is manpower; Arno & myself have to know almost the entire codebase, from top to bottom. That's a pretty tall order, I think you'll agree.
It's sort of how linux started. linus used the closed source minix as a foundation and made linux his own way so he is an expert.
You have the details wrong. Minix wasn't and is not closed source. Linus only used Minix as an early development platform.
Community is also important for an OS.
This however, is true, and probably explains why Haiku has more developers and more people interested in it. Haiku started with a ready-made community of BeOS users to build from. Syllable started with the much smaller AtheOS community.
my point is that there is a difference between tinkering and rearchitecting and if you did much of the latter then you must be in good shape. You can then change the direction of the OS. You know the answer to the why as well as the what.
Minix had source available for buying the book but if I'm not mistaken, you couldn't really change it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux). Linus came up with a monolithic kernel and that was a very different design than minix.
I think in the case of syllable it would help to have some sense of vision for the direction of the project. What problems are you trying to solve that nobody else is doing. What does "easy to use" mean to you.
Why do we want to change the direction of Syllable? We were quite happy with the direction that AtheOS was taking, which is why Syllable is a continuation of that. There is no need to re-architecture stuff that works, but we have certainly changed the parts that didn't.
As far as I am aware we answered the question "Why?" nearly five years ago. We've has a long term roadmap we've been following almost since the creation of Syllable. Perhaps we need to make people more aware of our roadmap, but it's not that we do not have one.

James Gillray || Tim Clayton
Posted by Henry in Author: Tim Clayton, Publisher: Yale University Press, Subject: Art History, Subject: James Gillray on Nov 25, 2022
Although the claim of this book's blurb that he invented political satire is perhaps an exaggeration, James Gillray was certainly the most prominent caricaturist in an age where the genre grew up and flourished.
There are many reasons why such a lack of respect for authority should emerge in the late Eighteenth Century. The republican experiment under Oliver Cromwell some hundred years previously had shown that monarchs were not indispensable, and absolute power, even after the Restoration, was waning. The Hanoverian Georges seemed, and frequently were, alien. Finally, the Regency became a period of loose rules and morals that emboldened what we may call the chattering classes. Yes, that is a very simplified account, but this is a book review, not a history and Tim Clayton's thorough and admirable account of the life and work of a major figure in the creative life of the age will fill in all the gaps for you.
Gillray was prolific, acerbic and precise in his targeted attacks, both on individuals, events and public mores. This is a lavish account of his life and work that is set firmly in its historical context. Caricature in the Eighteenth Century was an elaborate affair. The simple line of modern cartooning had not developed, neither had the simple one-line caption. Every illustration rewards detailed examination and more than a superficial understanding of its context. In modern times, the work of Martin Rowson and Chris Riddell offer something of a parallel, with minor figures, repeating motifs and sometimes, too, in-jokes.
Many of Gillray's works remain famous today, such as The Plumb-pudding in danger, which has the Emperor Napoleon and Pitt the Younger carving up the globe and is an excellent example of Gillray's incisive ability to reduce complex politics to simple motifs. There are many more works, however, which have faded into obscurity as the individuals and events have fallen away from general memory. Tim Clayton includes many of these as part of the broad canon of Gillray's work. This is a complete and, indeed, beautifully produced account of the work of man who, although by no means forgotten, deserves his time in the spotlight once more.

As we approach Christmas and continue to work our way through the Yamas, we hit upon Asteya – 'Non-stealing', which seems very timely for the last blog of the year.
Of course we are all helped to understand – as we grow up – the difference between right and wrong, good and bad.If we look beyond the obvious of stealing items that do not belong to us, perhaps we can begin to understand the deeper meaning of Asteya.
The internet was first created in the Eighties for scientists and researchers to be able to share their findings. It was in 1990 that computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee first created the Worldwide Web.
Such a shame really that something originally created for sharing is now full of plagiarism. People stealing others' ideas, innovations and images –and thinking nothing about claiming it as their own.
Perhaps we could also look at Asteya in terms of only taking what is freely given. Living simply and taking only what we need. Something to think about at this time of year, when excess and over- indulgence is celebrated.
We can also take that onto the mat and "give up wanting what other people have" (Rumi).
Our words and thoughts create the lives we live. These words and thoughts create the chemistry within….that is the chemistry that we give out….which is exactly what is attracted back to us.
When we are on the mat, it is easy to be distracted by others around us (perhaps stealing their energy too) rather than being happy in the knowledge that we are exactly where we should be..perfect as we are..with all that we need.
In the whirlwind of our complex lives, we can forget our deepest values and intentions. But when we come to the end of our lives and look back, what will we ask?
Did I win all my fights?
Did I make lots of money?
Did I make people see things my way?
Did I live a full life?
Did I live with integrity?
Expressed as a positive, Asteya means generosity: to give, to share and to rejoice. The perfect time of year to put that into practice!
