Millo made this cool photo of me for the EGO's album cover artworks. We have also one of Francesca and the other band members are on the way. Giacomo is the next... his "composition" will be really interesting :)

In the process of switching the kvirc source control system from cvs to svn. Jan has set up a nice https based svn server and a Trac web interface installation.

Again overloaded with work. Well, nothing new at this point I'm getting used to it... but I've been gasping for air (and sleep) this last week. Too good that some festivities are coming.

Studying Numeric Calculus. Kinda slow, but it's taking off.

It comes out that I'm playing guitar in three bands now :D EGO, Ace Of Space and the still unnamed band with Samuel, Roberto and Francesca. It's a lot of fun but in the future it might become difficult... Let's see.

Cleettina: ho aggiornato :P

So I've been acting somewhat weird recently
I guess it's life that's catching up on me
Tired of pretending
Run out of facade 
Caucasian puppetry

You can only keep things 
Stashed away for so long

I've had all the shit I can take
All the shit I can take
To push me now is a grand mistake
I've had all the shit I can take

Chest pain!
Chest pain waltz!
Chest pain!

Here comes another stunning panic attack
Increase the dose, there is no turning back
My legs feel kind of dead
Massively irrational 
Shock treatment maniac

You can only keep things 
Stashed away for so long

I've had all the shit I can take
All the shit I can take
To push me now is a grand mistake
I've had all the shit I can take

Chest pain!
Chest pain waltz!
Chest pain!

Mattias IA Eklundh is another Hero at the level of Mustaine. Nothing more to say.

It seems that he has no daugher with a cool name (to source inspiration from) at this time. ...and I can't find anything about a wife neither.

Haha!.. take a look at the site LoL :D

Hum.. now that I think about it, all of my heroes are male. Bad sign ? ...or there is a heroine shortage around the world ? :D

It's kinda raining :)

Time to stay at home, work, study, play guitar, improve KVIrc a bit (maybe make a release). As usual in this period I'm overloaded with work so don't be surprised if this blog doesn't get updated often.

I have put online the slides and the test program for the (In)Security Foundations presentation. The slides are mostly in italian (but the interesting part is in english) and you need OpenOffice 2.0 to view them.

I've studied the examples on an amd64: if you can recompute the stack layout and the jump addresses for an ix86 you're a r0x0r! If you can recompute them for an ARM (like the Intel's XScale) then you're a guru :)

Have fun :)




21.11.2006 - Tuesday - 01:30 - Targeting N.Y.

click on the photo and take a look at the large version: it's amazing, even if it is a 1.8 MB download.

We're planning a trip to New York in late April 2007. Probably from 21 to 30. We want to end up in a nice hotel in the center of Manhattan so this is right time to start looking for lodging and plane reservations.

At the moment we're three persons on the outgoing route.

We will enjoy ten days of the "city that never sleeps". An interesting experience for Europeans, I guess. Wanna come with us ? Take a look at the photo above and then give me a phone call or drop me a mail :)



04.11.2006 - Saturday - 04:09 - One of my Heroes
 


{the intro}


This morning I made the call
The one that ends it all
Hanging up, I wanted to cry
But dammit, this well's gone dry
Not for the money, not for the fame
Not for the power, just no more games


But now I'm safe
in the eye of the tornado
I can't replace the lies,
that let a 1000 days go
No more living trapped inside
In her way I'll surely die
In the eye of the tornado,
blow me away


You'll grow to loathe my name
You'll hate me just the same
You won't need your breath
And soon you'll meet your death
Not from the years, not from the use
Not from the tears, just self abuse


Who's to say, what's for me to say
Who's to say, what's for me to be
Who's to say, what's for me to do
Cause a big nothing it'll be for me


{the riff}


The land of opportunity
The golden chance for me
My future looks so bright
Now I think I've seen the light


{the solo}


Can't say what's on my mind
Can't do what I really feel
In this bed I made for me
Is where I sleep, I really feel


I warn you of the fate
Proven true to late
Your tongue twist perverse
Come drink now of this curse
And now I fill your brain
I spin you round again
My poison fills your head
As I tuck you into bed
You feel my fingertips
You won't forget my lips
You'll feel my cold breath
It's the kiss of death


Dave Mustaine is one of my heroes. If I'll ever have a daughter I'll strongly promote her name to be Elektra.

Rust In Peace is one of my best 10 albums ever. Fantastic riffs, incredible solos, interesting lyrics, parts that you just can't play that way... Please note that Dave sings while playing that stuff. Just try to play and sing (possibly at the same time) the first 2 minutes of Holy Wars...
