November

Fog, rain, cold. This is November. In two words: Bad Weather.
I don’t really like this period of the year: I always feel tired, annoyed by everyone who is not me, hopeless about the future.
The Beatles said:“You’ve got to carry that weight”. But they also said:“Don’t carry the word upon your shoulders” and “We can work [...]

FreeSBIE 2.0-RC1

All,
if you followed the development of FreeSBIE 2.0 a bit, you should remember that, back in Semptember, I said that FreeSBIE 2.0 would have been the last of a series of four ISO images. Three images were already published: FreeSBIE GMV back in August, FreeSBIE LVC in October, FreeSBIE 2.0-BETA in November. Well, circustamces [...]

Warholize me!

If you know me well enough, you should know how much I like Andy Warhol. I couldn’t hold myself when I found this warholizer, and I used it to warholize me.
Twice.

Moving on..

FreeSBIE 2.0 is quite ready: RC1 will be out after I’ve extended the mountdisks plugin and, if no major bugs will come out, I’ll release FreeSBIE 2.0 once the Release Notes have been written.
Then I will take a rest: university will gain more priority. Anyway, I have some goals for the future and they involve [...]

Screenshots of FreeSBIE, screenshots of life

Another week started and, since I passed my mid-term exams so well, I don’t want to throw those results out of the window and must therefore study a lot. This was the screenshot of life.
For “Screenshots of FreeSBIE”: I’ll release a FreeSBIE-2.0-RC1 ISO image before FreeSBIE-2.0. Many bugs were fixed after 2.0-BETA, but we’re approaching [...]

An Italian section of the blog

So, I’m happy because my mind is working again. I have time again to read newspapers, book and so on. And to think about what I read, and to express my thoughts to others. But. But I think I don’t handle English well enough to share my thoughts in this language.
This consideration is leading me [...]

Mid-term exams’ results

I’m happy. I passed the 2 exams I studied and passed one of them (Automatic Controls Fundamentals) better than I expected (26.5/30, 20/30 expected) . OTOH, I got 23/30 in Digital Electronics but I expected something around 26/30. Electromagnetic Fields A was the third exam, the one I gave on Friday, just before leaving for [...]

FreeSBIE 2.0-BETA (EW) is available)

All,
after FreeSBIE GMV and FreeSBIE LVC (2.0-PREBETA), a new ISO is

The image being release today is EW, which is FreeSBIE 2.0-BETA.
The codename for this image is EW, which stands for “Eli Wallach”, [...]

So..EuroBSDCon..

Last day of EuroBSDCon 2006. I think the conference had a slow start but then it speeded up and is going well. I hope my fellow FreeBSD committers are enjoying it.
I appreciated PHK’s report in the developers@ mailing list.
If you attended it and would like to comment, feel free to send me an email.
