#54 - Farewell, two thousand and thirteen

31 December 2013

Finally, this year too is coming to an end.I can’t remember for how many years now, the end of the year has tended to be a blessing, a way of saying point, scratch that, let’s hope it gets better.All in all, it went a little better than in 2012, I...


#53 - The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug

30 December 2013

Great film, mind you. Great special effects, some truly marvellous scenes (e.g. when Bilbo climbs the tree in Bosco Atro), the dragon is lordly (it’s a pity, however, that in the original version, he is dubbed by Benedict Cumberbatch, another class compared to Luca Ward’s ordinary dubbing, but that’s another...

#49 - Urban Decay Naked3

26 December 2013

In addition to a cough, Christmas brought me a much-desired present: the Naked3.It looks much better in person than all the photos one can find online (including those on the official website, which don’t give the idea at all).Yesterday I tried two colours, the first from the left (Strange) as...


GitList, the git repository viewer for the lazy

24 December 2013

I got to use git for work and have loved it ever since. I was pleased to discover that DreamHost, the provider I use for personal projects, including this site, provides a git installation.Therefore, I decided to import all my projects under git, and I wanted something to view online...
