  HOWTO: Italian gestures 

  Gestures have been always very important in communication. They preceded the spoken language and human beings used gestures to communicate with their fellows.

  I think that gestures are the oldest way of communication. OK, what about gestures today? Are they still used? Short answer: yes. Long answer: yes, but depends on the country and culture.

  As Italian, I like to show you how we Italians use gestures to communicate with other people. Following there are three images with the most popular Italian gestures.

  

  

  

  What do you prefer?

  Which one is ambiguous (that has another meaning in you culture)?

  What’s the funniest?

  What’s an offence (for you)?

  So, now you are aware about Italian gestures and before to plan your trip to Italy, be sure to study Italian gestures!

  HOWTO: count lines of code 

  From today you will not go mental anymore to write a script that count lines of code of your last project. No, because there is “CLOC” that counts for you. It’s a huge (7640 lines) perl script that give you nice statistics about your project. You can find it on SourceForge.

  Once downloaded, unzip it and with a terminal cd (to cd=to change directory) to executable; then type the command below:

  #> perl cloc-1.53.pl /path/to/project/

  and you’ll have an output like this (it depends by the project’s complexity). The cool things is that recognizes languages and divides statistics depending on which have you used!

       671 text files.
       633 unique files.
        70 files ignored.

  That’s it! Oh yes, obviously you can take a look to its help launching it without any argument.

  And you, how many line of code have you written?
