Blogs’ proliferation

I’m astonished by the number of my non-tech-addicted friends (both female and male) that opened a blog in the last few months. Many (too many?) of them used Windows Live Spaces. I don’t really know why they chose that platform, probably because they weren’t aware of other choices / they didn’t want to choose, but [...]

Flickr Gallery

Thanks to Massimiliano, I installed the Flickr Photo Album plugin for wordpress. I chose to use this plugin instead of installing Gallery2. Why? Well, I don’t really now. Probably beacuse Flickr is considered cool ATM . Ok ok. Here is the link: my photo Gallery.

Economy and Accounting Principles

As my friend Elena said in a comment to an older post, the correct name for the exam I didn’t pass is Economy and Accounting Principles. The name doesn’t matter and doesn’t change the fact that I don’t like this subject: it just doesn’t attract my interest. Anyway, since I want to pass it next [...]

Forefather?

One of my favourite photos: Me trying to look as fat as the man portraited in the painting behind me. If you know me, you know that that man could be my grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-…-grandfather. The photo was taken during the school trip to Berlin in March 2004.

Geekish privileges (or, well, oddities)

The following excerpts are taken from OSNews, which I found via B@gs. I will not comment the whole article or its topic, but I must admit I don’t agree with the author. “First and foremost, technological enthusiasts possess a skill that is essential to the practice of their craft but is far beyond the reach [...]

NDISulated

I’m back from my amd64 box, which is online again after more than a month because I hadn’t any wifi card (old post about it). Well, I bought a Linksys WMP54GS for my sister’ PC and took the WMP54G installed there. To have it working I had to use NDISulator and it impressed me: I’m [...]

ZZZzzzZZZ’ing away..

The exam? *Do* *Not* *Talk* *About* *It*, *Please*. I’m tired. Tired. More than tired. Exausted. Don’t ask me why. I don’t know. I hope in a relaxing afternoon.

Pre-exam Brainstorming

ATM, I’m having a discussion with my friend and university mate Francesco about the questions we can find tomorrow in the exam. I have to study ROI, ROE and other indexes better, then, repeat everything again and I’ll be ready. If nothing plays against, tomorrow I’ll be on holyday again (FreeSBIE LVC waits for me) [...]

Tedious Day

Today I studied Economics, the exam takes place on Wednesday. Studying Economics is boring. More than boring. Yes, even more than what you can consider the most boring thing. I’m using a retorical hyperbole obviously, but I really cannot find anything interesting in that subject. Luckly, the program is small.
