It was me on that road But you couldn't see me Too many lights on, but nowhere near here It was me on that road Still you couldn't see me And then flashlights and explosions Roads and getting nearer We cover distance but not together I am the storm and I am the wonder And the flashlights, nightmares And sudden explosions I don't know what more to ask for I was given just one wish It's about you and the sun A morning run The story of my maker What I have and what I ache for I've got a golden ear I cut and I spear And what else is there Roads and getting nearer We cover distance still not together If I am the storm if I am the wonder Will I have flashlights, nightmares And sudden explosions There's no room that I can go and You've got secrets too I don't know what more to ask for I was given just one wish

Christopher and Napo comed to visit me today (or better, yesterday, at this point). A nice encounter after several months, even years for Napo :)

Did some works on KVIrc. A lot of documentation must be fixed asap. Will continue in my spare time.

Finally found time to update my linux box. The Atlantis 56K modem did a heroic job by downloading more than 800 MB of (source) packages in few days. The emerge tool also did a great work by compiling more than 250 packages and failing effectively only a couple of times. That's a 99% success rate. The whole process required a single reboot (to bootstrap the new kernie). The ati-drivers made me go mad for a while but finally got them to compile and run properly. The 3d acceleration has still some problems: the driver claims that everything is ok but glxgears runs at 180 fps only. It might be related to the OpenGL libs; will take a deeper look at it later. Etherea is now running a new shiny 2.6.17 kernie, KDE 3.5.2, X.org 7.0 and the unmasked Ati FireGL driver 8.27.10. The system clock is still broken.

Again the palio. Not as welcome as the july's one. Also the Mojitos aren't that good anymore :/

Playing my guitar a lot in these days. Got a PODxt Live from Line6: it sounds nice and offers a really impressive amount of combination possibilities: it will take a while to discover all of them. Fixed and cleaned up both the RG and the JEM Ibanez axes. After a short (and cheap) visit to the luthier at Emporio Musicale Senese the RG started to sound really nice too.

The image below is based on "The photographer" by Aslik. Unfortunately couldn't find his portfolio or homepage to link it here. The image was posted on deviantart tough: dig around.

[Me] Friday night, I had a few There she was, out of the blue Thunderstruck, nailed to the floor I couldn't move, couldn't talk...anymore [Love] Of all these guys it's you she desires Secretly her heart is on fire Waiting for you to ask her to dance Go ahead, make your move...now's your chance [Passion] Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night Do it now, do it now, I think you know how [Pride] Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about Let her in, let her in, let the party begin! [Me] There I was, nervous and shy Struck with awe as I caught her eye I mustered up courage and walked her way Figuring out what to do...what to say [Love] Her heart sings as she sees you come near The music fades, the crowd disappears She weeps in silence as you pass her by And she's wondering why...oh why [Passion] Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night Do it now, do it now, I think you know how [Pride] Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about Let her in, let her in, let the party begin! [Agony] Remember your father, well you're just like him Nothing but violence and fury within Remember your mother, so lonely and sad This will be her fate if you treat her as bad [Fear] You're afraid she might turn you down All your hopes dashed to the ground Nobody loved you, nobody will Why should you even try...but still... [Me] Friday night, I had a few [Wife] There was no need to talk [Me] There she was, out of the blue [Wife] We just started to walk [Me] Hand in hand, we took the floor [Wife] And we danced, and we danced [Me] I could move, I could talk [Wife] ... and we danced [Me] ... even more [Passion] Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night Do it now, do it now, I think you know how [Pride] Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about Let her in, let her in, let the party begin! [Agony] Remember your father, well you're just like him Nothing but violence and fury within Remember your mother, so lonely and sad This will be her fate if you treat her as bad [Passion] Do it right, do it right, we ain't got all night Do it now, do it now, I think you know how [Pride] Let it out, let it out, now don't mess about Let her in, let her in, let the party begin!

The lyrics are from the song "Day Eleven: Love" by Ayreon. The image on the right contains parts of "Eve" by Vic Mon.

It turns out that I've lost some points of Karma yesterday. Dommage. What is even worse is that I have noticed just after loosing them and not before or in the meantime. Basically couldn't do anything to prevent it. Interesting, instead, the question if it was the right thing to do or not. From a neutral point of view it probably looked halfway between a justified criminal negligence and recklessness... ...Hey.. I haven't killed anyone eh ?! :D The question will probably remain unanswered tough. The one that has to find an answer sooner or later is "What Now ?". Friendship is a valuable resource. As a side note I point out that the brain of at least one of us plays tricks on his owner :D

Found this wisdom pill somewhere on the net. Iakko has a copy of this attacched to the laboratory wall :D
