- I'm starting to dig deeper in the Allan's Jazz. Or better, I'm entering
the whole-world jazz from the Allan's gateway. "None To Soon" is such a gateway.
- I desperately need a broadband connection :)
A firm, here, seems to offer radio connectivity (this is, at least, what
their web site states), but they seem to ignore e-mail based requests.
Today I have sent the second inquiry: let's see.
- It's HOT.. but I mean damn HOT. In the middle of
the day it jumps esaily up to 38°C, and it's still July: the worse has still to come :D
When I enter in my car I begin to liquify instantly...
- Siena still Sux.
I have noticed that a lot of people get angry on Saturday night here,
without any apparent reason: they're just angry. Probably because they
are expecting to have fun but they actually don't. Additionally, any attempt
to propose some alternative thing to do, like "let's go there" or "let's do that"
is silently ignored, because it usually involves taking the car and moving
some kilometers outside this city. But nobody admits
it; and if someone does, he is immediately labelled as "antisocial"
and disadapted... an interesting behaviour :D
- Crashed, but already raised up, re-crashed, re-raised-up and so on...
- Still a lot of work to do: I need to carefully slice up my time to
get all the tasks done. It's taking time, but I seem to work it out nicely
in the end.

- Today I have started another approach: "Where do you want to crash today ?" :D
- The Palio of Siena was nice this year. On Saturday I have meet Valentina and Roberto
and we had a nice night based on Vodka-Lemon in Piazza Del Campo. That was fun :)
- Overloaded with work :)
SSMicroGIS and Winter, ecoland, EasyMill, NukeLink, PocketOrdini, KVIrc, ... and the
list isn't finished here. I need to find some time to study.

- It looks that by contract I have to write this blog
from Paolo's home :D
- The image aside is the Sidhe's private "vision of me" :D
-
After a pizza, we have improvised a small hacknight over the net.
Noldor, Giada and Sidhe are watching at us through a web-cam: strange
sensation :D
- Paolo would like to write a proggie for video multi conference...
yep, that would be a killer app.. but it would require a lot of
time and efforts (we'd need a sponsor :D ).
- Noldor and Grifisx are doing a great job on KVIrc. That's
just great: the project benefits a lot and it is also fun to watch
them learning and improving so fast.
- Iakko seems to be disappeared recently...
- Before coming to Paolo's come I have been at the Virus Studio.
Alessandro was really angry with the ArteNativa sticker producers.
They have printed nearly one thousand completly misaligned
Marla Singer stickers. Yet worse: besides the fact that the laser printer
cardrige was probably running out of ink (so half of the stickers
are gray instead of black), they also haven't cut the stickers
at all and have sent the whole giant sheet wrapped in a container
1.5 meters long :D
- This is a deja-vu. I have already lived such a period
two or three years ago. At that time Marco called it "vaquity".

The police of San Casciano in val di Pesa has sent me an advice
about a fine they did me some moths ago (I was going a bit too fast with
my car when travelling from Siena to Florence...).
They want me to pay again because the first time I have paid
one day after the timeline (which was on a Sunday and thus I have
paid on Monday). They're fucking bastards: trying to gather
money to re-build their offices. I hope in a natural catastrophe.
-
For a single Siena is one of the worst cities ever. Really... it's just
horrible: all you can do on Saturday Night is to go to a pub and get fucking drunk:
that's the most exciting thing you can do.
In the 2 bars with music there is an average woman/man ratio of 1/8, and if I dare to
do a selection of girls that can be even a bit acttractive to me, the ratio drops
to something like 1/80... and I don't pretend heavens.. believe me. There can be
no competition, for me, atm. I'd better get fucking drunk and go to sleep.
-
Christopher has been operated... I'm sad about that.
-
I haven't been so nervous since years now...
and tomorrow it's going to be worse: it's sunday and I have a hell
of work to do.
-
What a horrible day...

- The situation seems to stabilize a bit, finally... or at least
I don't feel it so heavy. Let's hope that it is a start of a trend :)
- Yesterday I had a really hard working day. Moved to TDGroup in Pisa
to work on the first release of the Sirio Valanghe controlling software.
Worked until late evening with Patrizio and the other guy (that I can't remember
the name for.. what a shame...) and then again back to Siena.
Slept a couple of hours and woken up to make the last commit (the ultimate deadline
for siriov release was today). Finally went to sleep at nearly 5 am, having
to wake up in 3 hours...
- Today woken up at 8.30 and ran to DIESSE (looking really like a zombie).
Silvana Verdiani had some problems and failed to reach DIESSE in time.
Scheduled a new meeting on Thursday morning.

Actually I'm writing from Paolo's home. We're working on the new
SLUG's server machine.
The server is in fact an User Mode Linux provided by bytemark
and it seems to behave really well. There is already a cvs server running,
a named, postfix and a nice apache installation.
want more ?
... really ? :D
