In the finishing straight

The finish line referred to in the title refers to the site that should have been launched many months ago and which I started working on in March last year: Spirali Edizioni (www.spirali.it), an online sales site for the publishing house’s books and magazines, a new version of the site www.spirali.com (written in PHP 3 in 2001, and essentially unchanged since then)....

I did things

Anche se non sembra, o forse potrebbe sembrare più lento (a dire il vero a me no, ed è anche per questo motivo che ho cambiato), si, insomma, la faccio breve: ho spostato il blog sui server Dreamhost. Ho approfittato di un'offerta di qualche tempo fa e ho fatto un...

Lloogg: would you be willing to pay it?

You do the math with how many days there is a delay.

Like a turkey singing I will survive

Yesterday I made my first video with the E71: the lights they put up on the Sforzesco Castle in Milan.
I like them so much that I stopped at least thrice to look at them, so making a video (which gives the idea but nothing more) was the least I could do.
Doing these things, which I have always seen others do without being able to do them myself,...
