Sometimes, they come back..

..people from your past, places from your past. Pains you thought to have buried in the deep of your hearth. And they wound you again.

People you loved so much who suddendly appear again, people whom you are not able to say:”No” to. Those people who have a past in common with you, and you [...]

Call For Testers: FreeSBIE 2.0.1-RC

All,
as you may have noticed, there was a serious bug in FreeSBIE 2.0-RELEASE: devd didn’t get started at boot due to a bug in the backup plugin and USB mice didn’t get any moused on their port.
I solved this and other bugs (see recent commits) and would like you to test a new image which [...]

“It is your birthday, collect £10 from each player.” (Monopoly)

It looks like it’s *that* day again. My birthday. I am 21 years old today and I think I already lived about a quarter of my life (Yes, I hope to have a high life expectancy
..).
Anyway, I will not speak about what I did in this 21 years and what I’ll do in the near [...]

Interview for Distrowatch

I was interviewed by Distrowatch and they published my answers today on their Distrowatch Weekly, Issue 28.

Houston, we have a bug!

Yes. It looks like FreeSBIE 2.0 has a serious bug: devd(8) doesn’t get started at boot-time, therefore no moused(8) is run for USB mice.
Yes. I consider it like a showstopper for FreeSBIE 2.0’s adoption and will probably release a new ISO image (2.0.1) ASAP.
Yes. I feel frustrated.

Three photos only..

Bringing my camera (Canon S3 IS) always with me seems to be a good idea. Three more photos of my city today.
 

FreeSBIE-2.0-RELEASE Available!

All,
today is a good day, as we, the FreeSBIE team, reached our goal: it’s the day we release FreeSBIE 2.0.
Development cycle started on August 2006 and, after many months and a series of four ISO images, an official stable FreeSBIE image is available. It went under many changes, many experiments, many bugfixes, many features’ additions, [...]

Photos of Padova, yes, again..

Well, I’m on holyday, as you may know, but only until tomorrow, when lessons will start again. Anyway I didn’t lose my time and this afternoon my camera was so much used to feel exploited ;).
Again, my city was the main subject of this round of photos: it has so many curious places and it [...]

Oops. Small size doesn’t fit all. :|

I spent this afternoon walking around my town Padova, with my camera and took about 60 photos.
But.
But since I’m tired after having studied sooo much (;)) I didn’t realize that the configured size for the photos was 640×480. This means my photos are pretty useless. Nevertheless I post some of them here…

Ooooohh!!! Exam passed!

It happened!
I don’t know how, but I passed the exam I did yesterday. That’s a great news for me, because it means there are only 3 exams left now.
I really feel lighter, although I think I’m getting even fatter..=)
