Fortune Cookie

My fortune cookie on FaceBook: “Is this really a productive use of your time?”
Well, probably not, and both in a “local” and in a general sense.
P.S. Engineers should note the use of “local”.

Shy and Photographer

You cannot be both shy and a photographer.
Dare to shot. Dare to ask. Dare to accept a refusal. Dare to wait until your composition is perfect and don’t be in a hurry just because people look at you in a strange way because you’re shooting at an old and apparently anonymous house.

Quick note

26/30 in Data and Algorithms 2. Uff. I’m not happy, although it’s a good note and the exam is considered to be difficult (but it wasn’t.)

Oh my!

The first exam on Monday went very well: I got 30 cum laude. Ok, it was “Real-time Operating Systems”, so I was very interested and studied it with pleasure. Today I gave “Data Structures and Algorithms 2″ and it went well, apart from a little distraction which is typical of mine, sigh.

Twenty minutes chat

Twenty minutes of talking with you were enough to change my day, and probably my week.
Please, think about it.

Book with a description

The description of the narrant self on pages 46-47 of “Il giorno in più” by Fabio Volo, was…..well, the description of myself, which is something I would never have read on a book, but I read it.
I now feel like I shouldn’t have.
