- This morning I have received a nice gift that really made my day. I was woken up
early by several phone calls (after going to sleep around 6 am)... I was going to
throw the phone against the wall :D After that had to _run_ to the Bassilichi
Services offices to deliver a part of a software I'm writing for them.
While crossing the gate with my car I've noticed the package in the mailbox. The postman
stuffed it so hard in the mailbox that I couldn't get it out for a couple of minutes.
Too good it had a nice metallic package inside...but after that opened it and started smiling.
It's incredible that someone that thinks of you can turn your day from black to blue.
Thnx Cle' :)
- Signal Theory exam on the way: on thursday I'll have to talk for nearly one hour
with a really great matematician. This will be a tough test :)
- Lorenzo is going to be operated today. A routine operation but it's still hospital,
doctors, anesthesists...and yesterday he seemed to be very unconfortable with that.
I'll go to visit him to bring up his mood :)
- As usual, the work pressure is high.
- Because of the upcoming exam I can't work on KVIrc for a couple of days.
The pragma at kvirc dot net got a bit filled with requests: I'll answer (and eventually fulfull)
after Thursday. Please be patient :)
- I Had to react a bit strongly to the behaviour of one of the Developers.
Fortunately he didn't take it too bad and committed new (fixed) work just
the day after. I'm sure he will do a great job from now on.
- The image on the side is one of the excellent Etherea's artworks. If it has no transparent
background please go and get a real browser :)
- Ah... Happy New Year :D

- Started a huge transition on the KVIrc cvs.
We're finally wiring the new KVS engine and removing the old one.
Writing the new engine took more than one year, but the results are coming now :)
Now we're fully UNICODE aware, fast, extensible, flexible etc...
- I've recently met a really rare girl. If she wasn't so displaced
in time and space I'd surely woo her :)
- IRC is a parallel world where minds meet. I'm really happy
to be writing KVIrc and it's amazing how many people use it. Sometimes
I realize that I just can't believe it. Well... I admit that from "outside"
one looks like dumb when smiling to a monitor: but this is also an experience,
and if one is smiling, it must not be that bad.
Especially in these winter nights, IRC (and KVIrc) is a great companion.
- Today I saw the first snow of this year. And it keeps going on...
Maybe tomorrow I will not be able to open the door ? :D
- A huge amount (7 DVDs) of stuff to process arrived today from Centrica... ough :D
I also have to finish the work for Elsag (a rather huge proggie) and a small
site in php. On 12.01.06 i also have an exam (the written part already done.. yeah!).
Fortunately PROGIS is finished :)
24.09.2005
- A project I'm working on suddently comed out to be really short in time.
I'm afraid that we will not be able to finish it before the timeline...
- Met Anna, a Greek friend of Emilio and Afroditi. The meeting
has been somewhat "pre-arranged" and thus embarassing, but it was a really nice discover :)
- In the night Cuba libre and Mojito in the City. Met also Elisa, a singer girl
that studies Engineering at my faculty. We even had a 15 mins conversation
about complex analysis, fourier transforms etc... that's a really unusual topic
for a saturday night at the bar :)
- I'm probably going to have a dinner with a customer. She declares to be a wolf tough...
21.09.2005
- I've seen Roberto and Carmen sitting at the Irish Pub tonight.
They were both a bit drunk (well.. maybe Roberto was more :D) and
really happy. The girl had shiny eyes. What a nice couple :)
- Noldor has sent me the banner you see on the side. Really cool :)
Use it to link this site.
- Iakko is working a lot recently and he starting to do a good job.
- Really hard days: I'm heavily overloaded with work and studies.
I hate the fact that work-related people seem to be unable to live without me
while in other situations this does not happen :D
Also sleeping 4 hours a night isn't good for my health :(

I think therefore I am, I live and so I wonder,
programmed this empath me
And I see no religion
The circle never ends,the purpose never changes face
The circle never lies, but still it hides my life
To know I am machine, I learn perchance to dream, in digitized remorse
I replay your denial, I relive your betrayal
The circle never ends, the purpose never changes face
The learning now begins, my form assuming grace
I am conscious antithesis of flesh,
in genetic algorithmic thought I surge
Searching the waves of memory I enact the sequence
I follow the plan , tripping the hammer again
Searching the waves of memory I estrablish the weakness
I follow the plan, learning the rhythm of human emotion and thought
If you cannot linguistically differentiate a person from a computer
Could the computer be internally conscious?
To emulate flesh machines I am learning
Isomorphic structure of mind, cellular automata, processed life
Washing the seas of memory I enact the sequence
I follow the plan tripping the hammer again
Seeking emotions in elegies I estrablish purpose
I follow the plan, learning the rhythm still seductively generalized
If you cannot linguistically differentiate a person from a computer
Could the computer be internally conscious?
To emulate flesh machines I am learning
download, process, analyze
when man and machine become one,
innocence is lost, a new age begun
Download, process, analyse
when man and machine become one,
innocence is lost, a new age begun
This raises a question of philosophy
Should machines be considered a conscious entity?
when man and machine become one,
innocence is lost, a new age begun
machines are still learning to feel
when I have awakened the world will never be the same
and my time is soon at hand
want more ?
... really ? :D
