Mums and dads all over the world...
you can now relax. Send your kids playing outside because there is no more reason to keep them in the house under your surveillance. Yes, no more worries... Michael Jackson is finally dead! Thanks God!

Missing link found!

2009-05-20T16:59:00.003+02:00

If you are wondering why the Google logo is so strange today...

I will explain that! A 47-million-year-old fossil has been found in Germany by a group of Norwegian researcher and it's a remarkable discovery as it could be the link that connects human skeletal structure to early mammals (it even has an opposable thumb, isn't it great?).

The fossil, called 'IDA', could be the prove to Darwin theory and all the scientific world is fermenting because of that, and Googlers too :) ( that's the reason of the logo )

Concerned

2009-04-29T22:17:00.004+02:00

Yes, concerned guys! Really concerns about this world... that will never going to change. I expected in the year 2009, the entire world to get rid most of the bullshits which signed one of the darkest ages in our entire history, the medieval, but Religion is still affecting our lives so far.

People still dies for their believes, I mean I also would be happy to die fighting for my God if someone promises me that once I kill some infidels there will be 72 virgins in heaven waiting for me. Don't you? But how can someone be so retarded to actually believe that!?!? But the thing that makes me think lately is that something I have been always given for granted, "the evolution theory" of Darwin, something I learned at primary school for God's sake... and the only reasonable theory which explain life on earth without involving extra terrestrial buddies... or super-fucking-power-omnipresent Gods... is addressed as "bullshits" by lots of people (and let's say too many for my opinion).

Of course people can start saying... Darwin's theory has not been proven; of course scientists are still working on it... the latest research about Darwin's theory involves the construction of the "Tree of Life" which shows (like in the family hierarchy tree) all the relations between species. This study is classifying the DNA of all the known species in order to find similarities, branches etc... 150 years ago when Darwin formulates his theory there where no knowledge of DNA and the evolution theory can be proven only by observing species in a very wide time-frame (hundreds of years)... or by studying the DNA and that's what scientist are doing now.

Of course science is a science :) (and I am me, you are you of course :P), it's not about writing a god novel... where you can invent stuff from scratch! Science requires experiments... guess a theory and prove it. Now some of the latest discoveries are miss proving Darwin, but not in a way that makes the overall evolution theory wrong. From this link :

Dr Bapteste said: "The tree of life was useful. It helped us to understand evolution was real. But now we know more about evolution it's time to move on."

Anyway, I don't want to discuss here if you should believe in the evolution or not... my concern is: "Is there something alternative?" Do you really believe there is a God that is capable of creating and destroying everything... but then practically he worked 7 days and since than... nothing more? Does it make any sense to send your only child to the earth... make people torture him, kill him in the cross... just to forgive our sins? God, if the plan was.. "to forgive our sins..." just do it! Why do you need special effects? You have the power... do it! But I guess is difficult to have people be afraid of you and love you at the same time, right? Btw... Is this the alternative way to the evolution theory?

Of course use God to explain something is very convenient. God is like a jolly. When you cannot explain something... just use it! It works just fine, let me present some examples:

"Ah... I really cannot explain while today is so windy... fuck... But yes of course, yesterday I sinned, so now the God of the wind (Eolo) is angry at me. Fuck... I should better go and make him forgive me!" Simple no? Dispete the fact... today, thanks to science (ehm..), we have mathematical models which are able to predict the weather pretty well... what does it mean? Is God predictable? What kind of superior intelligience is predictable?

"Why this dude died? It cannot be true... yes of course, he is dead probably because there is a God that likes him so much and he wants him to sit next to him! Yes of course, ...if God likes you, he is going to take you in this wonderful place (nobody has ever seen, but should be nice because he is God...) where you can enjoy your afterlife! So, to make sure we are going to that place you have to suffer in this life." Ehm... should I argue this? ..to simple :)

I really can continue writing... but I think I did my point. Of course I know you cannot argue with religious people because they will start saying "You have to have faith!". And science is not abaout fath! I have heard in a couple of documentaries that everytime a science ask to a group of religious people: "According to the bible, the earth is 5000 years old! So what about dinosaur fossils?" and people answer: "God put dinosaur fossils here to test our faith!"...seriously guys, ' THE FUCK!

...but you know what the truth is? actually I don't give a shit... apparently war is in our nature, no matter which kind of excuse we actually use to justify a war, there will always be someone fighting for something. I am not saying they should... I am just realistic, some people get really hard with wars (most of the reasons are connected to the economics... but you should watch zeitgeist to understed in which way)! But most of the time what you see is a bounce of very determined people with very clear ideas guiding thousands of confused people which don't really know what they are fighting for.

I know it's difficult to stand up and start thinking with their own mind instead of let other people think for you (which is really easier), but if we really want a better future we should definitely start thinking by ourself!

Deal of the Year!

2009-03-09T20:58:00.011+01:00

There is no better way to start the year with a nice deal! :)

So.. you know being a nerd also means getting very horny for any new piece of hardware :) ...and of course you always want the latest stuff available because it makes u really cool and awesome! :) As my laptop was getting old... in January I realised that my 4 years old Thinkpad laptop needed a refresh! So I start to make some research, and I found the laptop that fit all my needs: Dell Latitude E6400!

So, I guess at this point your question would be... as my old laptop is a Thinkpad... why should I go for a Dell? So, the choice was between Thinkpad T400 and Dell Latitude E6400. Both are professional laptop with 3 years warranty (on-site)... top-specs... thinkpad use DDR3... the Dell DDR2 (that's a plus for the Thinkpad of course) but the Dell system wins in terms of multimedia connections as far as it has a DisplayPort output, eSATA and Fireware.

Let's say the 2 systems are comparable... but when it comes to the price, of course Dell is more cheap. And I get more lucky because I bought my Dell as a refurbished unit on eBay... that means for half the price you get a very cool system.

So, to make it short, for about 1100 € I got the following:

Intel Core Duo T9600 (2.8 Ghz, 6 MB cache)
4 GB RAM DDR2
250 GB Hart Disk (7200 RPM) Free Fall Sensor
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 160M
DISPLAY 1440x900 LED + webcam
Intel Wifi Link 5300 + Bluetooth
DVD R/W
9 Cells Battery
3 YEARS On-Site warranty

Consider that the same system, new costs around 2100 € today! :)

The only problem of the laptop was the colour... BLUE... I was not crazy about that... but considering the price... and what inside... I purchased it!

When the laptop arrived... it was perfect! Everything worked flawlessly... fast... cool.. like a dream, I was going to write how happy I was on my blog when a problem raised! :(

Actually a very strange and annoying problem that maybe most of the people would not notice; the laptop simply drained the battery when turned off. I called the Dell support and they firstly replace my battery (to see if the problem comes from the battery)... secondly (because the battery replacement didn't solve my problem) sent a technician to me to change my mother board! Unfortunately, also the new motherboard did not solve the problem and the support picked up my laptop to test and solve the issue in the laboratory.

So far so good, when the system came back from the laboratory was completely messed up, this people detect that the problem was caused by the Hard Drive... so they replace the drive and install Windows Vista 32-bit in German (of course the original system had Windows 64-bits in English). This made me pissed off... and the day after I called again the Dell support complaining of the kind of support they were giving to me. Of course the hard drive replacement didn't solve the problem... the laptop was still draining the battery when turned off. Anyway after the discussion they told me that since my laptop seems to be really not working it will be replaced with a new one! Actually they really built a new system from the scratch with all the stuff I wanted! I get rid of the BLUE color of course... and I switch the keyboard layout from UK to US. Unfortunately during this process I lost some stuff like the finger-print reader and the black-lit keyboard :( (which are nice features if you are a pussy... but really not useful for a nerd).
Anyway... after few weeks (and actually after one and half month) from the purchase date... my new Dell Latitude E6400 (paid half of the price) arrives.

The laptop is amazing! The LED display is gorgeous... the eSATA port connected to my external 1.5 TB Seagate Barracuda hard drive gives me a amazing read/write speed.
Yes... it's good to be nerd! :)

Anyway.. now the question is what to do with my old and loyal Thinkpad T43?! It has been a brave laptop, now it is spending his life as file server... I should give it for adoption... anyone wants it? :)

Wien (8 December 08)

2009-02-07T19:40:00.010+01:00

Argh!! usually my posts follow a temporal order... but I did have no time to put this picture about Wien (or Vienne or whatever) I have taken in December.

I went to Wien (which is actually the correct German name of the city) a couple of days just to see how it looks like... and here u are some picture from Wien!

Ok, let's start saying that unfortunately the weather was bad... it was raining all the time and rains -> pour light -> shitty picture with my Canon Powershot A570IS (which actually - after 2 years I've bought - is still one of the best compact camera in the market). Anyway... let's begin!
in the bottom of this palace (which should be the parlament... or rathaus) there is the madness of the "kristkindel markets" (cristmas markets)... and I have already spent several words about them... so let's move on to the next picture! :)
this square was quite impressive (because of the statue, of course) and actually there were 2 statues of men on horses... and that makes it awesome! :)
and here it is Mozart! Actually the man was really short... u want some lingerie? You'll better no... because this stuff look like crap! I mean the idea of devil's horns is nice... but let's talk about the rest... is that sexy? My peanus is saying... "NO WAY!" ...and if he says so... I believe that!
and here it is the Albertina museum where a Van Gogh's painting exposition was held (and I visited it... but there where none of the wellknown masterpieces... :( ) This palace was cool... I really don't know the meaning of that... but I do love the Greek/Roman style of building stuff! :)
and I think the guy that lives in that house should be quite rich! :) ahauha... of course i am joking they were just doing some kind of restoration! This very nice statue depicts (in a very simple way) how Germans deal with foreigners! :) auhauh (of course the German one is the one with the bird... the foreigner is the naked one)that's the concept of Austrian girls! U like that... eh? :P
and that's Opera! I don't if this one was real.. or not, but few meters from this a police van... was waiting for something or someone! Ehm... I should better go!One of the attraction of Wien... a panoramic wheel! Cool... but way way expensive! Ok, Wien is nice... not so impressive but worth visiting it! But please don't go there during the Cristmas time because the city is full of Italians which will piss u off in a few hours! Yeah... you know how italians are... just retards! They get lost like children... every 5 minuts you will hear someone screaming looking for someone else (in italian of course). They don't speak any language beside Italian... and they get angry when people can't understand what they are saying! ...but what can we do? :)

Beside Italians the smell around the city is bad! The city smells like shit! Actually horse shit! That's because there are horses everywhere that take tourists around the city! I am not saying there is shit on the street... apparentely Austrians are smart enough to figure out a mechanism to collect horses' shit and avoid shit in the street, unfortunately the mechanism is not smell-proof!

So, now if you ask me... do you prefer to live in a city where there is trash everywhere and another one that smells like shit... make a choice will be rather difficult! :) But.. let's see the nice aspect... if you wanna poo in the street nobody will complain! :P

Just relaxing!

2009-02-01T16:21:00.003+01:00

Maybe you were wondering... wtf is doing motonacciu? It has been a long time since the last post... you are right! I was busy preparing exams for my PhD.

But now... as you can see I am just relaxing... enjoying my brand new Dell (with one small existential problem :( ) blue laptop!

I will tell the whole story about the laptop in a few days... it would take too much time now... and today is relax day! :)

Anyway happy 2009... and if you are Chinese... happy Ox years which has been started few days ago!

...and it's again X-mass!

2008-12-16T23:32:00.007+01:00

Again Christmas, fuck!
If there is something I hate the most... well it is X-mas. The snow, the communist red color everywhere, shops full of retards buying stuff that don't even need, and retards trying to sell you things you don't need.... and every time the question that comes to my mind is... why the fuck are we doing that? The answer should be... "because someone got pregnant without having sex!" Ok, I see... but where is the connection?

Actually I don't see any connection! Millions of WATT consumed to put decoration lights in the streets 24x7 on -- global warming is not anymore an issue during x-mas. But people don't care... are so used to the x-mas that they do not even know why are doing that... we live in an era where people are just to lazy to actually think about their actions! Just do that... because other people are doing that... and so forth!!

However, here in Austria the retardness seems to affect just a few. Of course here they have this Christkindl markets (Christmas markets), which is the worse of the worse ever in terms of Christmas atmosphere...(from my point of view) but if you look deep inside you can see that Austrians go there just to eat and during some gluehwein...(which make sense) the real retards that go there to buy these crappy-wood-made stuff are actually Italians. And the nice things is that Austrians make fun of Italians... I mean, of course they do! And they really loves us... for example look at this picture made in a shop here:

SHUHE == SCARPE == SHOES and it seems they have a different cost for Italian speaking people. And the same for FLASCHE == BOTTIGLIA == BOTTLE.

So, italian people come to Innsbruck to buy X-mas stuff... because they all do love you, and they are looking forward to seeing you! They do love italians... really! :) Dress and act as the mid-average-italian-christkindl-market-customer-with-retard-family and you will be welcome! :)

Motonacciu's Cake!

2008-11-23T19:42:00.006+01:00

Lately, a bunch of coworkers is arguing that the cake I usually bring to the office from home is not made by me, but I just buy it! :(

The only way I have to change their mind is by using the blog... and putting some pictures! You know a blog can be used in several ways... as a weapon or as true-proof, today I am going to use it to prove my cooking abilities!

Here there are the ingredients... I really don't how the quantity u need to do that... the only thing I am sure is that you need 3 eggs! :)

Mixing the eggs... putting some sugar, if you have no sugar you can even skip this step... :)
Then you put some milk, and... important... OIL! I know I am Italian I have to use oil everywhere! I do not use butter as Austrians do (butter is too fat and no tasty), so my cake has a different taste.
And flour...
mix mix mix... and you obtain something like that.
This is not part of the recipe, but with the sugar I wrote my name on it, just in the case someone of you argue that I steal those picture somewhere! "MOTO" stands for "MOTONACCIU" of course! (I did not have enough sugar for the entire name, sorry)
And now, you put in the oven for 45 minutes... and here it is the result!
(Unfortunately the sugar has been melt... so my name is not there anymore... but IT IS the same cake... for god's sake believe me! :) )
The chocolate always goes on the bottom... :( I am trying to improve the recipe to avoid that... but it's kind of difficult! :( I really want the chocolate on the top! :)
And here you are the motonacciu's cake... and I am going to enjoy it right now! see u guys!

I am fucking indestructible!

2008-11-23T00:05:00.003+01:00

After years in my HardDisk I finally managed to put these 2 videos on YouTube

Those videos depict the origin of the MOTONACCIU word (which in an onomatopoeic way should mean something hard, raw, indestructible like me :) )! If I managed to survive after the last dive, it means I can do whether I want! The videos refer to more than 3 years ago... but this is the prove I am invincible!

Superman, compared to me is a pussy!!! auhauauh

Apple sucks more... day after day!

2008-11-22T10:53:00.004+01:00

Today, finally I had the confirmation that Apple sucks! Please read this news from engadget

The new fucking pricey macbooks and macbooks pro have a very nice issue:

According to Zach Honig [...] running your MacBook or MacBookPro without its battery [...] will cause a significant performance decrease: we're talking upwards of 40 percent. When he checked Apple's knowledgebase, it turns out that this is by design -- processor speed is reduced when the machine detects that its relying solely on A/C to prevent it from demanding more power than the adapter alone can provide (and any nasty shutdowns that would result)

And now I say loud and proud, WHAT THE FUCK! How an engineer can design something like that? Smart people use to remove the battery to increase battery life.. and now it turns out that without the battery the laptop becomes kind of slooooowww! So you have to keep the battery attached, in that way your battery will be out-of-life soon and you are obligated to buy a new APPLE batter! Smart Apple, eh?

But why things like that happen? Apple is a nice example of marketing-driven industry. I guess that the 99% of the decisions are taken by these marketing guys who do not understand anything about computers.

So guys, if it was not clear that when you buy Apple's stuff you pay X to have the same components (CPU / RAM / HD and Graphic Card) of an other product that cost Y (where X >> Y ), and 40% less of the performance of Y... that means that your 2000 (X) euro macbook laptop has the same capabilities of an entry level 600 (Y) euro laptop. But yes, you are right... at least your laptop looks gorgeous... but unfortunately I do not enjoy sex with a laptop; so I do not see the point about having a sexy computer!

So, guys... keep buying Apple's products! I really thing Apple is the same as with the religion... when you have an apple you become blind! I had an apple some years ago... I have to admit I was blinded as well! At the beginning you notice that it's kind of slow... but the graphical effects are so cool! After a while you get used to that sluggish machine... you are 10% less productive because of these effects... but you don't know that!

Fortunately I opened my eyes... just in time! But I also know that nobody of you will say that his Apple laptop sucks... because you spent 2000 euro on it... and you cannot admit you did a very bad choice! :) I know... Apple fools you... welcome in the club!

"What What (In the Butt)"

2008-10-31T01:32:00.006+01:00

Few months ago I saw this video in a SouthPark episodie (Canada on Strike):

...That was really funny! But today I discovered that the song is REAL... it has been released in 2007 by this REALLY GAY guy, Samwell:

I'm laughing since the afternoon and I am really not able to fall asleep now!

About the Austrian flag origins

2008-10-27T19:39:00.006+01:00

Today, my Austrian colleagues, told me the story behind the Austrian flag... and I have to admit which is a very nice story.

According to legend, the flag was invented by Duke Leopold V of Austria (1157–1194) as a consequence of his fighting during the Crusades. After a fierce battle, his white battle dress was completely drenched in blood. When he removed his belt, the cloth underneath was untouched by it, revealing the combination of red-white-red. So taken was he by this singular sight that he adopted the colors and scheme as his banner.

I don't know if it is real... or just a legend, anyway this is very nice. An empire build up starting from a battle dress drenched in blood... that's really "pulp"! :) Really "Conan the Barbarian" (you know the movie of Arnold Schwarzenegger? ...but wait a minute, actually Arnold Schwarzenegger is Austrian)... oh my god, I really love this country!

And furthermore, I want also to mention the fact that actually there are no communists here! :P Am I mentioned that I love this country? :)

Salzburg & the "modern art"

2008-10-22T20:11:00.014+02:00

Last weekend I've visited Salzburg, a lovely city not so far from Innsbruck (just 3 hours of train :( ).

In the Innsbruck train station it's nice to see one of the reason because I've left Italy... there is only one train to Italy (actually Verona) and it's the only one which is in late. :(

After a small pit-stop in Innsbruck we are ready to leave this HUGE metropolis to reach Salzburg!
In the train station there is Morpheus (from Matrix) waiting for Neo... he is drinking coffee even if he knows that it is just an illusion... like everything inside the Matrix. (really compliments for the choise of the shoes and the shirt)
During the trip I was able to see again the horizon... I've really miss it, the horizon is like a girl, you don't miss it if you cannot see it... but when you have it in front of you... you want more!

Arrived in Salzburg, this is the first thing you can see from the train station. Maybe you can think it is nice... I think it is not! Even because the buildings around are totally built in a different style!
After few minutes in Salzburg... you start remembering who really rules in the world, Italians of course. :)
So, apparently in Salzburg it's already Christmas. Shops are completely full of usefulness/stupid stuff. This city is a kind of 'paradise for gay people' (when I say gay... I also mean girls of course)... the main things you can find here are fashion clothes, music, and Mozart balls!
This bar has nothing to do with the word "FUCK"... what a pity! :)

And finally here we come with the Mozart's house. Actually this is not the REAL Mozart's house but just an house filled with instruments (not original of course), partitures (actually copies of the original one) and other stuff. I say... What the Fuck! You made me pay 8,50 euro to see the copy of the copy of what?

The nice thing, about how this people use the Mozart name to make money, is that Mozart hated this city and in general the people from Salzburg because of the narrowed mind.

Germans... and Austrians love to have in their alphabet words of more than 20 letters.... and actually very simple to pronounce. :) Probably they don't want foreigners to learn their language! ...don't worry, I don't mind! :)

So apparently the word, 'KAISER' means 'KING' in German... but considering the movie: 'the usual suspects' the mysterious character 'Kaiser Sose' is supposed to be Turkish?!?!?... I guess there is something unclear here. What does KAISER mean in Turkish? Are Germans... Turkish? or what?
That's Salzburg... there is nothing more, just 4 buildings and a castle! :)
Here it is the result of living in Salzburg for more than one here.

I really don't know what does this picture mean... probably the gold globe is the world... and the men in the top is a citizen of Salzburg. Probably the hidden meaning is that Salzburg people rule... but probably I am wrong, the entire picture should be analyzed not from the top to the bottom but from the bottom to the top! :) auhauh
Just for italians...

This small house is actually in a central position in Salzburg but there are no houses in the neighbor. This is because the house is owned by the hangman, also called the executioner... and it's quite trivial to understand why nobody wants to live in the nearest :)
That's me of course... in all my beauty while I am eating!
This travel company should be very interesting :) ...as in Italian language 'troia' means whore... the name sounds very appealing! :)
But now, I really have to thank Konst who introduced me to the Modern Art. We went to visit this modern art museum... the kind of stuff you really think is for GAY people... Anyway, I went to visit this museum because there were no other things to do and now I DO LOVE modern art.

Just take a look to these pictures...

And of course these are just a couple of the pictures inside the museum... and actually the less provocative. This Japanese people are really steps forward from everything. I really do love modern art... since yesterday I used a different word to describe it... something like PORN... I can't remember well right now, but now I know that it is art! I love art! :)

Zeitgeist: from God to the "One World Goverment" through the 11/09 and the Amero

2008-10-03T22:09:00.005+02:00

Sometimes you know that the stuff people have repeated to you since the childhood are not true... but just lies to control you, but are not to explain them.

For example "Santa Claus" is 'used' to turn your children into slaves during the Christmas holiday in a way you can relax with your wife (and have sex with her of course) and make them cut the grass... clean the house... etc...

God is also a huge (world-wide) fake, artificially created in order to prevent people to kill each other.. continuously fuck during the day.. and give a reason of life for those of you that are too lazy to figure out it by them selfs... But why Christ is born the 25th of December... why is died and resurrected after 3 days... why is born from a virgin (which is something without sense for me...)???..

and again, the 11th of September... I guess it doesn't need to be a genius to understand that the 2 towers (and the building 7) have been pulled down using dynamite... and also to understand that the Pentagon has been bitten by a missile (not an airplane)... and of course there is the government behind all. But why?? I mean... ok the answer is simple, to start the war in Iraq... yes, but why? and you say... ok for the money! yes I know... but it's not enaugh to justify the death of 3000 people.

This "Zeitgeist" documentary will give you ALL the fucking answers. Peter Joseph gives an explaination of EVERYTHING using real facts. It start from God... and describes the next future, where are we going! I promise you this documentary worthes every single minute spent to watch it.... and you will figure out that the future is not so bright if you don't start to use your brain!

Team America World Police... is a worth view!!

2008-09-09T22:18:00.007+02:00

From the creator of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, Team America World Police movie is simply amazing!

And the movie shows you how (and why) the people can be clustered into 3 categories: Dicks, Pussies and Assholes :)

I am not going to ruin the view of the movie... so watch it! It definitely worths the time!

Cern LHC, first beam on the 10th of September??

2008-09-08T19:04:00.002+02:00

While people all over the world are trying to figure out if the 10th of September the earth will be eaten by the black hole which is going to be created after the turn on of the Cern Large Hadron Collider's (a.k.a LHC)...

While people are still confused, at Cern they have already turned on the LHC... and they are currently doing some preliminary tests. So, don't worry for wednesday... everything is going to be fine!

Songbird 0.7.0, finally a functional player for linux!

2008-09-07T19:43:00.005+02:00

I have to admit I really like this Songbird player for Linux (probably a version for Windows and Mac Os also exists).

The nice think about this program is not how it looks like (a little too Mac OS oriented - in this 0.7.0 version - for my taste) but in the way it has been developed.

Songbird is built from the ground up on the Mozilla project. The media player's UI is programmed in the same XML User Interface Language (XUL) that Firefox uses for its UI. Much like Firefox, Songbird has support for user-created extensions, and you can improve the player functionalities simply by installing extensions as you usually do with the Firefox browser.

Really nice project, I'am using it since the 0.4.0 version, which was a little bit UNSTABLE, but with this new realease, the 0.7, they have resolved a lot of problems! Try it and keep me posted!

The truth hurts!

2008-09-06T14:54:00.004+02:00

I thought it wasn't impossible... but the record of 107 visits in one day has been beat yesterday!!!

The new record is unbelievable, 132 visits and 246 pageviews! Woww!! And, as you can see in the picture, I've got another shinystat star :) now my ranking is 10!

Many thanks guys! I am so happy... because the more the people visit my blog, the more money I can earn thanks to the Google Adsense's banners (of course when someone clicks those banners)!

Anyway, what to say about your comments? Firt of all, (I really hate to say things 2 times) try to write them in english please... because this blog is not restricted to Italy (maybe your mind is Italian-centric) but there are people around the world might be interested. Just a screenshot to give you an idea about who is reading the blog:

Furthermore, when I say to write in English, I am not saying I am the God of the English... my English is crap I know... but I try to keep the blog in English in order to improve it! So, avoid comments like "you should take an English course" and etc... because I already know and this is the kind of comments adolescents use to say! Try to say something meaningfull (if your mind is able to produce something different than shit, of course!).
If you feel that your feelings are hurt by my crappy english nobody is obligating you to keep reading this blog... then click here and bye, bye!!!

The second thing is about the content of your comments... you really lack ideas people! You are monotonous... you really think I haven't got a girlfriend? Come on... make the brain works before writing please.

The last thing, but the more important, is about the quality of your comments, STOP publishing ANONYMOUS comments, at least have the courage to put your name on what you are saying! I am seeing too bad words in the comments... so show your identities, motherfuckers! You know who I am... so, if you have enough BALLS let me know who you are!! But as far as you are communists (then weak and ball-less), unfortunately, this is not going to happen!

I'd love to play a little with you guys... :) but if I don't know who you are... how can I enjoy that?

We have a new record!

2008-09-04T18:55:00.010+02:00

Thanks to last post this blog has reached a new record in terms of visitors per day: actually 107 in one day... that's amazing! Isn't it? And my Shinystat's rank has increased by 2 stars in just 2 days! Record... we have to celebrate!

Maybe you wondering how is it possible? ...the answer is pretty clear, there are some people inside the INFN-CNAF (last time I've omitted the CNAF and people started to affront me) that we can define "sfigati". Sorry for the italian word but I am going to give a detailed description in a while. Let's define "sfigato" (which is the singular of sfigati):

he is communist
he uses a mac... or windows (because linux is too complex)
he thinks that changing the extension of a C source file (usually .c) into .cpp translates the program to C++ language (it could sound crazy but I swear, I've heard this kind of stuff when I worked in the INFN-CNAF R&D center)
Am I mentioned that he is communist? ah yes... of course I am!
he always arrives at 11 a.m. in the office and goes home at around 17 p.m. (of course he takes one hour for lunch also...)
he cannot extract the hidden message encoded in this array:
int v[] = {2,2,-2,0,-2,13,6,-11,-73,83,-13,3,-2,-6,19,-5};
(ok, an help... try sum these numbers in some way... starting from 97, why 97?...you should know that!)

So, thanks to one of this sfigati (actually in the INFN-CNAF we have a couple of them) which during the day (apparentely) have time to spend reading blogs (I know... they work 17 minus 11 minus 1 hours per day... and they have still time to read blogs! amazing eh?) he starts to tell to friends, "hey, look at this!".

At this point, I think that a graph can say more than 1000 words. So, this is the traffic from the INFN network, you see... there's no activity at all before the 25th of August (because these people were in vacation I guess), and on 25th (the first day of work... where you are supposed to have a lot of work to do...) they started checking my blog! Incredible, don't you think? Are these people payed to read blogs?

You know... weak people (communist actually) always need to build up a community because they are so insignificant alone that they always need to be supported by someone else, and they start to create a group. You see, this is stated in the graph, if you look at the first and second of September (the day after the post about the INFN-CNAF), we can label that graph as... "the small community grows".

Furthermore, if we zoom inside this 3 days you can also see that they spent around 6 minutes (on average) reading my blog. Which means that someone read it for more than 10 minutes during the working hours of course.

Once the group reached the size of 17 people (which seems to be the critical mass)... some person... let's call him "the jackass" (I am not going to write the name because I am polite) decide to send an email to ALL the INFN people (even outside the INFN-CNAF) with a link to my blog. As far as I know this mailing-list should not be used for this kind of stuff... but if you have the power inside the INFN-CNAF (for example you are the system administrator), you can do whatever you want and nobody can touch you!

Apparently this "jackass" is not so smart (and actually very very ugly, too) because he didn't realize that I was reading that mailing-list. When he realized that... first of all he unsuscribed me from the mailing lists (because he has the power to do that) and after a couple of hours my email account magically disappeared... like forever! And everyone (something like 50 people) started to write emails... comments to me! WHAT A FUCK!

You know what's the nice thing? Eveything happend just because I've expressed my opinion about the INFN-CNAF! Probably for this "open-minded", "democratic", communist people there is only ONE opinion, THEIR opinion and if you think different they start to insult you (and that's funny because they also buy a mac so "think different" should be their life motive, isn't it?). Maybe for these people is better to do not have an opinion... keep smiling to everyone... lick assholes from the morning to the evening. Fortunally I don't care what they did... it's so funny to see how stupid they are! The way they start this 50 vs 1 war... very very funny! I've really enjoyed these 3 days!

Ah.. how do I know they are communists? Of course I have the evidences (because everything I'm saying is supported by facts, as u can see).

So, this is the traffic again from the INFN to my blog. See that peak on the 16th of April... what happened that day? Mmhh... 15 visits from INFN... let's see in the history.
Probably they have lost the elections?? auhauha!

But, you know, I am very happy... because the more they read my blog and the more my ranking grows... so guys keep reading my blog! And figure out a way to hurt me, but remember I am always a step ahead! Bye!

The Distributed and Parallel Systems (DPS) VS The National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN-CNAF)

2008-08-25T18:41:00.005+02:00

After the first 2 weeks used to get confidence with the place I can show you the place where I will spend the most of my life the next 3 (or 4) years.

And... this fantastic... 24 inch Dell display, plus the sunray station... YES, it's mine... here you are my desk, where my thinkpad (my "think-nerd" sorry, that's the real name of the machine) is waiting for me! :)

When I start thinking that in my previous job I had to wait 4 months to have something to work with. I've received a crappy (Celeron 1,6 Ghz, 1GB RAM and 15" display) laptop after 4 months and a phone after one and half year. Is that possible?

I've never talked about the National Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN for short), and actually the section where I previously worked, the CNAF, so INFN-CNAF. Now, I am out of that shame I can make an objective analisys. So, the exact picture of the INFN-CNAF is practically a public machine that eats public money (coming from national & European research projects) and spread that money among unskilled people which usually (in some complex way) are friend of the heads. Once the financiament is obtained, nobody cares in which way the money are spent. The heads of the INFN-CNAF don't care if you are working hard in your project... or you are not working at all. All the people in the top of the organization (the one which are payed more) are not able to do their job, are totally incompetent (because they get that position not because of their management skills... but because of their political skills)! "Project management" is something really lacking there!

Fortunately I am out, I really hope the Minister Brunetta will change the way things are at the INFN-CNAF by kicking some of the untouchable INFN-CNAF's asses.

Innsbruck == ("iss so viel du kannst" + "sechser garantie") :)

2008-08-23T10:33:00.011+02:00

So, this week in Innsbruck has been really really interesting. Some of mine Austrian friend (Kassian and Simon) have introduced me into their culture... which can be basically described as: "eat & drink as much as you can!" :)

During the summer there are 2 interesting places where you can go and feed up your engine :)
In the evening, you can go to the "hofgarten" and ask for a "sechser garantie" (which means six guarantee), which means that for 10 euro you can have 6 beers :)

But the most interesting place, in my opinion, is the "a rzler alm".

View Larger Map

There are no ways to go to this place with a car, you need half an hour of hiking to get there. The place is somewhere in this montain :)

The path is very... natural! Just few signs... it's very easy to get lost it it is your first time.

When you arrive... you sweat... a lot, but after few seconds you really understand why you have done this! For the girls... and the meat of course. Yes, the meat, because in this place you pay just 10 euro and you can eat all you CAN! It's called: "iss so viel du kannst", which meas, all you can eat. And, it is absolutely true! :)

I'm sorry but I forgot to take the pictures of what we eat for 10 euro, but I assure that it worth the money. :) Next time I'll documentate everything as usuall, this time I've just enjoyed the place! :)

The waiters are really really nice... I've used one of my friend (Vlad) :) to take this picture (sorry Vlad... it was the only way to get this picture). One of the most beauriful girls I've seen in Innsbruck! (she looks really Italian, isn't it?)

So, if you are planning to visit Innsbruck in the summer... the keywords are: "sechser garantie" and "iss so viel du kannst"! :) Enjoy Innsbruck!

Moving to Innsbruck!

2008-08-16T17:46:00.009+02:00

Hello everyone... after one and an half years spent in Bologna it is time to change and get some fresh air, so I decided to move to Innsbruck for a PhD of 3 years (it's going to be a long time) in the topic of "multi-core architectures" (actually compiler optimization for multi-core platforms).

Today I had the change to see the city center for the first time, here you are some pictures:

The weather is not so nice today, after 2 days of rain the clouds are still here... threatening for rain!

and... here you are the more world advanced public transportation :) Yes, Innsbruck has it!

And unfortunately the first day I didn't find any statues of men on horses. I know that's not nice... but I will keep an eye on this and I will look for them (I have plenty of time to find one).
The city is kind of beauty, maybe small... but that's fine. Fortunately/Unfortunately it is full of Italians :)... but I know how to deal with them! The majority of the restaurants here are managed by Italians or Turkish people, so I guess I am not going to miss the italian kitchen.

So, in conclusion I can say that this is a strange place indeed... it is not Italy (but there are a lot of Italians)... it is not Austria... it is just Tyrol. More pictures are coming in the next days, bye for now!

Vacation == Puzzling equation still works!

2008-08-13T21:17:00.004+02:00

Every time is the same story, a couple of days of vacation and voila' a new puzzle added to the collection! :) This 1000 pieces baby is a present coming from a very very special friend of mine, Cinzia... I miss you baby!! :(

The Dark Knight... simply marvellous!

2008-07-29T20:39:00.003+02:00

Last weekend I went to the cinema to watch the second episode of the Christopher Nolan's Batman. The first one (Batman Begins) was great but not a masterpiece... but this one is one of the nicest movie I ever seen since years.

Not because of the special effects or the crashed Lamborghini Murcielago ( sigh :( ) but because of the direction, it's impressive. 152 minutes of real passion, starting from funny to the total discouragement... at the end of the first act you think that things cannot go worse than that... and in the second act you really reach the bottom! Unfortunately I saw many children (with parents) watching this movie at the cinema and I didn't like that because this movie is violent and the madness of the Joker could be misunderstood by some of them.

Anyway... the Joker's interpretation is great (thanks Heath Ledger for giving as that before taking your life away)... never to say... just go to the cinema before it will be too late (but before be sure you remember the first episode).

However, the real wonder comes to me when I discovered that Christopher Nolan was the director and the writer of Memento... the best movie I ever seen in my entire life. So, at this point I really think I am in a kind of love with this man! :) Don't worry Christopher I am not gay... but I love you! Can I? :)

Another day... another puzzle! :)

2008-07-15T14:32:00.003+02:00

So, here you are the Atlas project puzzle... which can be bought at the Cern (see http://atlas.ch/puzzle.html). Unfortunately it is just a 500 pieces puzzle (there are no other options)... and quite simple to solve (I did it in a couple day of puzzling).

Anyway it is something different from the usual nature/cities/arts puzzles and for few euro you can buy it and also contribute to the Atlas project. The puzzle is made by Ravensburger which makes its quality simply awesome.

Ravensburger rules... definitely a step forward Clementoni or others puzzle producers.

Bye guys... and thanks for reading my blog!

Barcelona: A mediocre city for mediocre people!

2008-06-12T20:52:00.014+02:00

Lately, I have been to Barcelona for the 3rd CoreGRID Workshop on Grid Middlewares. The university where the conference has been held, was furnished with old computers, I have seen an Olivetti and also this VAX.
After the conference I had the opportunity to visit this strange city. The city is quite huge.. so you need to take the metro, but you also need to be prepared to walk. :)
So, The "Sagrada Famiglia" (from Gaudi') was the first thing I wanted to see.
This church is strange (I have to admit I've never seen something like that)... but for God's sake... Spanish make u pay (8 euro) to visit the inside of the church... which is under construction. You pay for what? To see people working (after 200 years... using the new technologies... they are still working on it??)?
Furthermore, if you want to go on the top of the church, you need to take a lift which costs further 2 euro (is not possible to use stairs... what the hell!)
And, what can u see from the top??? Nothing... there is nothig... just stairs, stairs... and the view of Barcelona (a city like 1000 else because there are no monuments to see, just regular houses :( ).

After the church I walked for around half an hour... to reach this "dildo-building". I was not able to understand the meaning of that (I hope to receive some comments about it). It seems the name is Glòries... but no idea about the function! :(

Then, I've taken the metro with destination... "Las Rambla", practically the main street of this city. So... what's spacial about this street?? Nothing, the street is like evry other street in the world, full of shops... bars...
and street artists like these

nothing else... so the main attraction of the city is that? A couple of mediocre people who try to make money begging charity?? And tourists walking up and down making fun of them?? Yes, here u are Bercelona! (there is *really* nothing else to see)
So I walked for hours around this part of the city (which is the oldest part) and something came into my mind? Where (the fuck) are the statues of the people who died for the Spain? You know... when a warrior, the head of an army conquers something... it has been usually celebrated with statues around the city. The most common is to put the general on an horse where the position of the horse depicts how he is died. (if the horse stands on 4 legs it means he is died for natural reasons... if stands on the inferior legs.. he is died during a battle... etc...).

The funny thing is that there are no such kind of statues in Barcelona. I've only found this one after hours
I think... he is the only man who died for this city, while the others were having fun on the beach. Probably you can thing this is a stupid thing... but if you know the Spanish people, the way they are (lazy...) everything starts to have sense.

And every time, they find the way to steal your money (just like in Naples). Inside the church... if you want to take a picture of the crypt... you need to pay to turn on the lights. I have no words for that...
One of the things I'll never forget from the Spain... is the food! Here food is quite cheap (u need to find the right places of course) and very very good.
I'll never forget this steak... for only 12 euro. And... here u are the beach! Of course full of people! Nice :) in Italy a building like that will be called an "ECO-MONSTER", because the ambiental impact is too high! But here... it seems everything is ok! W the communists! (of course I am sarcastic!)
So, what to say about this city? If you want to have fun... probably is the best place, but if you want to see interesting things, if you want to smell the real history, please don't waste your time visiting a nation which has preferred to conquer the South America (mile and miles away) fighting against people who used the arc and arrow because they were no able to defeat French people! come to Italy.

29th, 30th of May: Walking around in Kunming

2008-06-05T16:59:00.006+02:00

During my last 2 days in China I walked around this city, Kunming. This is city is huge, I don't know how many people live here... I think they are kind of millions!

This is the center of the city, where there is a lake, called Green Lake (I think because the water is green here :) )

Beside old places the city is full of very tall buildings.
And of course there are also McDonalds (actually a place where to eat safe food! :) you really don't know what you eat around the city... but you DO know that in a McDonald you are going to eat junk food... and sometimes that's nice! :) )
oh my god... 2 Chinese angels! :)

She is praying for more fun! :)

Inside a Buddish temple! :) Ohhmmmm....

Oh my god... Buddha is Nazist!

28th of May 2008: The Stone Forest

2008-06-05T16:50:00.003+02:00

The Stone Forest is one of the scenic places in the Yunnan province. The Stone Forest is one of the UNESCO patrimonies.

Our guide is dressed with typical clothes, actually this hat is very interesting... it has got two ears and that's means this girl is single. When the hat has only one ear... it means the girl has a boyfriend. Finally, when the hat has no ears... it means the girl is married! :) That's a nice idea! :P

In this baboo made house we had a lot of Chinese tea... of different kinds black, white, green...etc... I don't like tea! :( I want the italian coffee!!!! :)

28th of May 2008: Visiting a chinese wine producer

2008-06-05T16:35:00.005+02:00

Here we are at the Chinese wine producer... Chinese + wine??... I guess there is something wrong here! :)
Wow... this fountain is full of wine... so what? We use to have a bath into the wine... :)

My Australian friend, Andrew
So... this company is a red wine producer... and they are giving us white wine?

And then let's have launch in this typical place...

so... what to say? another day in China eating spicy food! :)

26th, 27th of May 2008: Something smell bad

2008-06-03T22:25:00.009+02:00

The conference moved in this place called Mile (150 Km from Kunming). The trip towards this city was very bad. The county streets in China are full of holes and very bad. After 3 hours of journey we arrived to this 5 stars hotel...
Furbished with everything you *really* need :)Anyway... after few minutes in this high level hotel I started to realize something!

When you go around... and everything starts to smell very bad... probably that's means it's not the place but it's YOU! :)

So, after 4 days wearing the same pants and socks you really need to make something. I tried to wear my pants in the revers side... but the sensation was not so comfortable, and the smell also the same :) so I had to took a very drastic decision... wash my clothes!

If your pants are wet, and you have to go to have dinner... you have only two options: use the drier... or wear your jeans without pants. So, considering that I am aware of the Global Warming problem... I decided to go in the GREEN way, so the second option! :)

I forget to take a picture, but among these foods there was a plate full of fried bees... The conference continues for another day. However, most of the invited papers didn't show up; anyway it was not so bad for me because, fortunately, the papers I was interested on made their talks.

And the last day... even in China... I've got a picture with this cute girl called Bingjing. The Italian Latin Lover strikes again! :)
Unfortunately, I've practically fallen in love with this girl... but as usual she didn't consider me at all! ...The malediction of a nerd strikes again :'(

25th of May 2008: Discovering chinese culture: Food & Girls! :)

2008-06-03T22:02:00.007+02:00

The first day, the conference committee bring us to a special dinner. We went in this typical Chinese restaurant where we watch a nice folkloristic show during the dinner.

Chinese girls are very shy when you try to take a picture...

In the picture below one of the thing we have eaten. I don't know which is the name and which are the ingredients... but actually I remember it was very very spicy! :) In Kunming everything is spicy! (and you cannot drink fresh water... just hot tea :( )

23th, 24th May 2008: The first impact with China

2008-05-27T11:44:00.012+02:00

Hello guys,
currently I am in China (actually Kunming) for a conference in Grid and Pervasive Computing called GPC-08. Actually, my paper: "Design of a Petri Net-based Workflow Engine" has been submitted for the Workshop on Workflow Management and Applications in Grid environment (WaGe08) which is held in parallel (of course in parallel, we are talking about Grid computing doesn't it? :) ) with the GPC-08 conference.

I was very excited to visit China... this big country very different from Europe, with very amazing girls and culture, but things are not going as expected. The flight to China was not so bad... but also not so good; the plane we have used to make the 11 hours trip was an old Boeing 777, actually very big from the outside... but the seats were very strict and uncomfortable. :(

The flight landed in this city called Guangzhou (very close to Hong Kong) and when I exited from the plane I immediately started to sweat and literally to evaporate. I had also problem breathing, the air was so hot and humid... it seemed to be in a sauna.
Here u are some pictures of the Guangzhou's airport

After a couple of hours (the time to control my passport :) ) I took the flight to Kunming.

Once arrived in Kunming I started looking for my luggage... but something went wrong, my luggage was missing! :( I asked for information at the baggage claim desk... but nobody were able to speak English :( after few minutes a girl arrived, she tried to explain me that there were no information about my luggage... it could be in Paris... or in Guangzhou or still in Bologna. :( So she asked for my phone number, and she tried to assure me that my luggage should arrive the day after (but I was not so sure about that) :(

So, I tried to get information about how to reach the hotel... but no success! :( I started to look for a taxi... I saw the taxi queue and I start walking towards it but before getting there, strange people with strange uniforms started asking me: "We are u going?" So I've showed a piece of paper with the name of my hotel (written in Chinese) and this guy took his cell phone end wrote "50". So, I answered "50 what?". And he disappear... :) after 2 meters another girl started saying me: "45... 45"! Finally, I reached the taxi queue... and I took the regular taxi that asked me 23 RMB (about 2 euro) to get to the hotel.

Streets here are like a jungle... I know I said the same thing when I was in Crete... but here is very very worse. There are practically no signals... crossing the street is a kind of "mission impossible". It's crazy... there are very few traffic lights. And traffic lights have a timer! :) Never seen something like that... but you know... that's not a bad idea, it make sense. :)

So, the rest of the day I tried to stay awake, I adjusted my presentation for the workshop and I went out to buy some clothes for the day after. Clothes are very cheap here but talking about electronics, the prices are the same (if not more expensive). For example the ASUS eee pc 701 costs 2990 RMB which is about 280 euro (In Italy the eee pc costs 299 euro).

Anyway... the city is huge and full of Chinese people :) and Cell phone shops. There is a Nokia point every 10 meters... and workers outside that shops with a microphone trying to sell phones.

However, everything is not so exciting; in some points of the city, actually near the restaurants, the smell is very very bad. I was so impressed the first day I couldn't eat in the evening.

But the most important thing is that I am not able to see my blog from here :( I guess this is a kind of censure applied by the chinese governemnt!!! Fuck the chinese government!! I cannot understand why the have censured my blog... I have no idea! :( ( anyway, I am able to create new posts! :) )

Guys I have to go now, I'll provide more photos in a few days. See u soon!

Addicted to South Park!

2008-05-09T18:38:00.003+02:00

Lately, I have started to watch South Park. I know that South Park is out since several years... but maybe I was to young to understand it... or just too stupid :) but now I am totally addicted to it.

The good new about South Park is that all the episodes (since the first season) are available on-line, and for free thought this web address.

So... this is how I am supposed to look if I was a South Park's citizen. :)

My favorite character is... of course... definitely... Erick Cartman! :) I have no doubt about that!

Ingrid Michaelson: A new singer in my heart!

2008-05-01T15:38:00.006+02:00

After my intense love for Katie Melua (as an artist... of course!)... now is the time for a new entry in my heart, it's the time for Ingrid Michaelson.

Recently I have heard a couple of songs, and "The Way I Am" is definitely one of the best I ever heard since months. Furthermore, the song video is also very cute.

I love you too, Ingrid! :)

Annalisa gets her Master degree in Finance, Banking and Insurance!

2008-04-28T23:30:00.004+02:00

Last week, actually the 18th of March 2008, my best nerdy friend Annalisa have became Doctor in Economy, her specialization is Finance, Banking and insurance.Congratulations!!!

"The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins

2008-04-23T22:38:00.003+02:00

Last weekend I have visit the library in order to find some interesting book and I found this one:Sorry for the Italian... the original book's title is "The selfish gene" and it has been written by Richard Dawkins. Before starting reading the book I have never heard about Dawkins but now I have read this book I'm definitely along with his thoughts.

Dawkins makes a very crude analysis of the nature of the genes and describes them as a 'replicators' which build biological organisms (e.g. humans) and use them as vehicle for survival. The book wants to show how all the theoryies about group selection can be explaned stating the egoistic nature of genes.

Of course, Dawkins is a man of science, and he uses founded mathematical theories in order to explain his concepts, one of the more interesting (in my opinion) is the definition of the John Maynard Smith's evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS). A ESS can be established in groups of the same or different species and it is possible (mathematically) to demonstrate (and explain) how an equilibrium among species can be achieved just stating that each animal ALWAYS makes the best choice for himself (and not for the group).

So in conclusion, a very interesting book which wants to explain our origins! ...and if you don't believe in me... here you are the words of a BIG of computer science: Bjarne Stroustrup :)

[...] I was about to refresh my Knuth, but someone has absconded with my volume III, so that'll have to wait. For pleasure, I'm rereading a bit of O'Brian's Aubrey and Maturin series. I'm trying to refresh my understanding of science, so currently just coming off a Richard Dawkins binge. [...] full interview here

Fishing... what a passion!

2008-04-17T21:23:00.003+02:00

After several years no fishing, last weekend I decided to take my fishing rod and go to a small river next to my country house.

Since years my principal fishing technique is the spinning, I love spinning for several reasons, first of all is is very difficult and challenging and furthermore, in order to succeed, you need a background about spinners and lures.
The choice of a spinner or a lures depends on several factors:

the kind of fish you want to capture;
the color depends on the period of the day (morning or evening),
the size should depend on the period of the year,
ecc...

So, I went to fish... my first hour of fishing was kind of a disaster, I had to recall all my fishing background from my memory... but when it come back to me, during the second hour, I change my spinners and in few time I have caught 6 fishes and among them a splendid trout that, right now, is part of me because I have eaten it! :)
Here it is the trout and the spinner I have used to catch it.

Today is a memorable day!

2008-04-14T21:29:00.004+02:00

Today, 14 April 2008, for the first time in my life there are no more communists in the Italian government. No more yellow Hammer and Sickle on red background...

WE HAVE WON!!! Nietzsche would be very proud of us and our country because we have liberated our nation from one of the worse kind of cancer: the Communism!! The kind of people who think that the men should be all equals and the government should help every kind of weakness... Today we, Italians, say that we are men, but first of all we know we are animals driven by the instinct to achieve at more power.

Strong spirits won... Weak spirits die! That's the Darwin's natural selection, that's our nature, written in our genes... that's the reason why communism doesn't practically work and will never work!

Last pictures from Crete!

2008-04-11T17:12:00.005+02:00

Here u are some pictures taken from Riccardo Zappi (alias RitZ), a colleague of mine, during the vacation... ops.. the conference in Crete! :)

Visit this link to see RitZ's complete album from Crete. A set of very impressive pictures taken with a REAL photo-camera!!!

What an amazing plane!

2008-04-10T17:30:00.004+02:00

My flight from Crete to Milan was amazing!
The Aegean plane was almost new and it had this nice LCD displays where the exact position of the plane was depicted.

The display also showed other interesting informations... like the current speed (the plane reached the 890 KM/H... wow).
I have to admit that it was really really impressive!! And the Aegean hostesses are just terrific... never seen beautiful hostesses like Aegean ones.

Last day in Crete

2008-04-07T21:04:00.004+02:00

And here you are the last... funny... never ending day I spent in Crete!!
The day started with a bath... but the 2 stars hotel bathroom was so small that I ended up with an artificial lake :)
Then, after the shower... a coffee, the real Greek coffee. It is different but nice. I liked it... but of course the Italian espresso is another universe. :)

And then... to the way to Phaestos. I'd like to see the where the famous disk has been found.

...of course this place has been discovered by italians (just to remember the fact we rules). :)

And the night arrives... me and Riccardo (a friend and a coworker) had a lot of fun. We took a lot of pictures of the girls around the city. We really had a good time.
These girls are English girls (from New Castle) very very funny... but not so pretty and more important they all had a boyfriend. So, you can say... where is the problem? The boyfriend is far away... and they are alone, looking for fun etc... But I am ITALIAN... so I am romantic, and I DO NOT steal other girlfriends.

Unfortunately, I cannot publish a couple of pictures with Greek girls. They become very very upset when you ask for the permission to public the picture in a blog. So, these girls of extremely rare beauty will remain in my hard disk, just for personal use! :) auhauhauh

bye, see u soon!

The CoreGRID Integration Workshop

2008-04-06T16:16:00.007+02:00

Kalimera (good morning in Greek),
from 2th to 4th April I attended the CoreGRID Workshop in Hersonissons a small -- touristic city close to Heraklion. The conference was held in the Creta Maris Hotel, which is a 5 stars hotel with everything you need.

Here u are some pictures of the venue.

a lot of FREE bags...
The main room...

The key of the hotel rooms! :) As our Working Package coordinator opening the conference said, "this is a concrete example of applied cryptography theory, the more the key is big and the more is secure".

My poster presented at the conference is about a joint work between the INFN (which is represented by me, of course) and the FIRST Fraunhofer (which is represented by Andreas Hoheisel).

And after the work... let's have some relax :)

Unlike the last CoreGRID event (in Dresden), this one was really really interesting, and useful. A lot of concrete works were been depicted and I have collected a couple of ideas which could improve my research project also!

The next CoreGRID Workshop would be held in Barcellona, in june. Probably I would be there... see you! Byeeeee!!

An Italian in Crete!!!

2008-04-03T17:27:00.009+02:00

Hello,
Currently I am in Crete for the CoreGRID Integration Workshop held near the Heraklion city. So, what about Heraklion and Creta in general? mmh.... let me see, you know Naples? Ok... it is quite the same thing! :)

People here speak a strange language... (in Naples nobody is speaking italian, too) something between Spanish, Italian and Turkish... I guess, but practically not comprehensible! :) They also use a different kind of alfabeth that makes the names of things not pronouncable by a human being! :) The city is not very cleany, there is garbage near monuments and the traffic is incredibly chaotic!! We are in a small island and it seems everybody have a car... the quality of the air is not so good, too!

But aside of that, the thing that makes Heraklion, and Crete in general (and also Greek I guess) special is... the women! Before coming here I had a sort of preconditions about Greek girls, but after a couple of days I had to reconsider everything! Very deep black eyes... with few oriental characters... just a look and really can lost your soul! Perfect shape... not too fat... not too skinny... just perfect Consider that for a long period the main God of the island was a female God with exposed breast handling snakes in her hands... for the ones which know the Freud's dreams interpretation... the 'snake' simbol means a lot! :)

Girls here seems also very friendly... and as all the inhabitans of islands they are attracted by foreign visitors! Actually they need foreing genetic patrimony in order to keep the race evolving. If you live in a island soon or later you are goin to have sex with a relative, and according to the Darwin theory this is not good!

I guess girls here use a lot of make-up to obtain this kind of men-capturing effect... and in my opinion that also means that that girl which is looking hard to you is not going to lay in your bed tonight... unfortunately! :( Like in Italy, when a girl uses make-up to attract men always means that she is waiting the man for the first move, and that is not going to work with me! I am the kind of 'man who never ask' (you know the TV advertisement of Denim's after shave? ... exactly! That's me! :) )

Ok, let's close this chapter about girls... my CoreGRID friend Javier Bustos is always making jokes about how I flirt with girls and I don't want to give him the satisfation to think he is right! :) So, let's talk about the Heraklion city... here you are some pictures I took around the city:

Fish here is very cheap and also good but you should know what are you going to order before ordering it! :) Yesterday night I had dinner in a resturant placed along the port and I ordered 'Feta cheese' and this 'Urchin Salad' because the name seems attractive and the price around 10 euro was also good. When the plate comes it comes also the surprice! :) I discovered that the Urchin is a very very precious and for 10 euros I just had only one spoon of red -- no-tasting -- fish! :( I spent money and eated nothing... but I've learned the next time I should better to ask before order! :)
...a bomb near a church! I don't know why it is here... maybe it had been stopped in that position by an mystic event! maybe... boh! :)

2 fast and 2 furious is happening here also! :)

And now here it is the Knossos Palace... a marvellous place to visit!

And the Historical Museum in Heraklion...

Ok ok... I have to admit that this God is going to be one of my favorite, ever :) Maybe I should switch my religious views in favour of this snake-handling -- breast-exposed God! :)
And... here it comes the Roman period of the island! You can notice little differences between the previous manufacts and these one? :) Italians, we defenetly rule! :)

...and is not finished... more picture are coming in the next few days, keep updating!

Changing glasses!

2008-03-22T19:20:00.004+01:00

Hi guys,
today I spent the whole day around Bologna looking for new glasses.

After 5 years of D&G transparent glasses I am going to change look and here you are some of the choice.
In the first afternoon of looking around I had no luck, it seems that shops here don't care about the quality of the lens, many of them told me: 'Lens are all the same'. Of course I am an engineer and I don't believe in that affermation.
So I studied everything you should know about the lens: materials, caractheristics (number of ABBE, spheric/aspheric, refractive indices...), and I found that there are many optical lens' producers and the one of them is more specific to a particular type of lens. You need progressive lens... you should use Rodenstock; you need monofocal lens? Zeiss, Hoya, SOLA, Essilon.

After several forum reading I can say that Zeiss and Hoya have the same quality but Hoya (which is a Japanesee company) is cheaper (and have some treatments which make lens very resistent to scratches). So I am going to have Hoya lens for my next glasses (now I have Zeiss lens).

One of these glasses are from 'Alain Mikli'!! I know the color is strange but some black-style glasses are coming in few days and I am going to see and prove them, of course! :) I love the sensation they give you when you wear them!
I have to say that I use to hate French guys... but this Alain has all my admiration because he makes fantastic, High-Quality glasses. W Alain Mikli (but please keep low the price of your glasses... )

In a few days the final choice... but if u want to contribute giving me some advices, you are totally welcome!

byee

Happy Easter!

2008-03-19T15:13:00.005+01:00

I have translated the italian one into the english one... but I think the italian one is more funny (I guess because english is not a funny language... just consider the english humor... sigh! ) :)

The Malediction of a Nerd

2008-01-20T10:25:00.000+01:00

I know that I usually use my blog for funny posts, but today is the time for serious thoughts. My roommates are not at home, I need to talk and think over my being a nerd; so if you don't mind, I'm going to use my blog! ( ...and if you mind, I don't really care! :) ).

As a person with scientific background I don't believe in things like astrology and actually horoscopes; but when I heard that the 2008 will be the year of the Capricorns (my sign), I started to believe the 2008 could be a great year. But after 20 days I can say that it was just an 'illusion'... nothing more!

I was a nerd the previous year, I continue to be a nerd today and I will be a nerd forever. Being a nerd is not something you can choose; you born as a nerd and even if you try to change... some day you'll find out you are still a nerd; and the malediction is still over you!

Maybe are you asking... "what malediction are you talking about?"; the malediction is, of course, about 'dating girls'. Take a look to the mirror, we are not handsome! The only weapons we can use to conquer the heart of a girl are our pleasantness and... our irony and... for those who have a lot of money a nice car can also help (but that' not my case!) :) "Irony" is about finding the right word to say in the right moment, and, trust me, it could be very difficult. Especially when you are in front of the "nicest girl you ever met in your life" and you realize that a second date only depends about what you are going to say. You look deep into her green&brown eyes and suddenly you get lost! You DO want to keep lost because it is a nice feeling, but you have to say something, your brain is completely empty, you are trying to figure out what's your name... and... what's the result? You surely say something obvious and of course stupid! :( And this is the reason why there will be no second date! :( I know this kind of situation is common in several movies about nerds... but unfortunately life is not a movie, at the end there will be no a second change... and 'bad' guys always win. However, things goes better when you meet a girl you don't like. You don't care about what you say, and the result is a second, third... forth date and maybe a relationship. So, that's the malediction explained... "a nerd cannot stay with the girl he really likes".

Maybe I'm too much sentimental today, but yesterday I have met someone very special and after a while I have realized that, as the Vasco Rossi's song "Senza Parole" says:

[...]
E ho guardato dentro casa tua
e ho capito che era una follia
avere pensato che fossi soltanto mia
e ho cercato di dimenticare
di non guardare.
[...]

And I'm not going to translate in English for you, Vasco cannot be translated in English... it would be like a blasphemy. As I'm leaning English in order to share my opinions with you guys... it's the time you start to learn Italian in order to understand what I'm saying! :) And remember if today English is the main world language is just because Cristoforo Colombo (which is Italian) was wrong. :)

Happy new Year! :)

Dublin!!!

2007-11-23T18:31:00.000+01:00

As usual, here you are a small photo book of my last journey. Today we are in Dublin the capital of Ireland!

Thank you... television! :)

My hotel room has a couple of facilities I'd really like to bring in my room in Bologna... the iron station is one of them... I want to steal it, but I have no space! :)

Two beds just for one person? That's really too much!
And here you are... Dublin! Actually I have to thanks the God for the gorgeous weather he is giving to me.

...weird? What's that? What does it means? ... mystery!

So, it seems that this is a kind of monument the distinguish Dublin. Paris has a tower, NY has a statue... Dublin has this, a giant niddle!!!!
Actually is very very tall, I think about 100 meters (exactly 120) and, my opinion, very very ugly to see! :(
More details available here.

Gothic style church!

A park... with no dog shit!

The famous (for what?) Dublin castle!

Inside the Dublin castle

An resolved instance of the "map coloring" problem! :)

Another instance... :)

And for dinner... Fake SUSHI + Real GUINNES!!!!

That is the London Gatwik airport.

So, what about Dublin? Considering that they use to drive on the wrong side of the street :) it is a very interesting city. Actually the Irish girls seems very cute, and they know what they want.

This time no pictures of girls boobs... or bottoms, I'm just trying to be a better person (, my name is Earl)! :)

Eng. Guido Angelo Ingenito

2007-10-29T09:16:00.000+01:00

The IT world has a new "100% NERD Certified" :) engineer!

An AMADORI 10+ engineer! :)

Congratulations Guido, you are always the best!

The Motonacciu's Crème brûlée

2007-09-27T19:14:00.000+02:00

It looks like the original one... but it is quite different in taste! I think I need more practice... and the correct recipe.

Why a NERD cannot be GAY!?

2007-08-31T21:31:00.000+02:00

Usually nerds haven't no girlfriends... and some superficial people could think that nerds are gay, but it is false. They haven't got a girlfriend just because a nerd think that the internal architecture of a AMD Athlon64 FX processor is more interesting than a girl, or that the successful compilation of the latest linux kernel is more exciting than an orgasm!

For years these are my opinions... but now I have a theory that can prove that a nerd cannot be GAY.

In my life I met a lot of nerd guys, but NEVER a nerd girl. I really think that in women's brain there is something (a bug maybe) that make the comprehension of programming languages impossible. If you take a look to the names of the people who study new programming languages, or are working on the existing ones... you surely found only male names.

So, considering that a gay brain is more similar to a women one, as a consequence we have that a gay cannot be a good programmer and so a Nerd
(mmmhh... according to this theory lesbian girls could be good developers... I never seen a lesbian girl, I can't prove that! ...but I will investigate on this topic :) )

Changing barber! :(

2007-08-31T21:21:00.000+02:00

Today I had to cut my hair... because they were too long... really too long! But I had to change my usual barber because my barber is in Macerata and now I live in Bologna. Here it is the result!

A DISASTER!

I also spent 20 euros to cut my hair when I usually spent 9 in my hometown. :(

Oui, Je suis... la France, Rennes... BLEAH!

2007-08-30T21:45:00.000+02:00

I can resume my opinions about France using an equivalence!

FRANCE : MOTON@CCIU = WOMEN : C++

First of all, people from France really do not speak English or something else they ONLY speak FRENCH... Even when they try to speak english... they speak so fast that nobody can understand!

They are also proud of their automotive industry and the majority of cars you can are Citroen and Renault of course. But when the number of wheels becomes 2 they use to buy the VESPA or PIAGGIO (Are they ITALIAN's brand? :) ...I think so)! I really think that they don't buy italian cars just because they are not able to deal with the sport heart of an Alfa Romeo for example!

Ok, let's start this trip on Rennes... I think that Rennes is the city more close to a cemetary I ever seen. Flowers and desert streets.

These are the first sign of life I met in Rennes on 28th morining.

A tree that is trying to say something... Looking to that roots, I can imagine that it is trying to say: "TAKE ME AWAY FROM THIS CITY!" auhauhauhauh

And now starting with FLOWERSSSS....

Something about Rennes architecture!

Rennes Art! (?????)

A nice BAR, where u can drink and take books from the bookcase. Nice idea I have to say... but I'd like to post a question to those guys... how much take a book to be read? and how much take a coffee to be eaten?? I really think the idea is not going to work! :D

CARILLONS to Test and then buy! The TEST & BUY PATTERN applied.

Punks in Rennes! ???? And they are not just punks but punks with a dog, in italy we call them: PUNKABBESTIA that means: a PUNK (usually the DOG) + a BEAST (the human being)... mmh or maybe is the vice-versa.... auhauhauh!!

AND now a something about French girls! :)

Uhm... nothing to say... just keep breathing! :)

and the main and very-nice square of the city!

and other curious staff... curious for me, of course!

After 10 Km walking it's time to have launch! I have to eat Rennes specialite'... LE GALETTE and CIDER... and here you the typical French launch! (nothing bad I have to admit, but TORTELLINI or PIZZA still rules!)

A Library...

PUNK!!!!

The magic GREEN BOX!!!

And... What's THAT???

And I'm really atonished about the next picture, zapping on the french TV I found this program, CAMERA CAFFE!!

they use our TV format, realizing the same gags using french actors! auhauah!!! The French Luca Nervi is FAT and use the same kind of skirt as the italian one. Paolo Bitta looks pretty like the italian one. But I really thing he is not a Pooh fan! What Paolo Bitta is without "OOhhh!! Ohh! Piccola Ketty!!"??? (Italian people can understand me :) )

French and Information Technologies??? Do you think that could be normal to spent 3 days in order to put into work a Wireless lan??? In Franch it happens!

And thanks to God... I'm coming back to Italy!

Good bye FRANCE!!!!

OREVOIR

Rennes, France!

2007-08-27T09:39:00.000+02:00

Guys, I'm very happy to inform you that today 27th of August... I'm going to Rennes (France) for an internal meeting of the CoreGRID project.

So... be ready for new pictures from France... Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité!!!

Puzzle again...

2007-08-25T10:02:00.000+02:00

I know... I'm a NERD :) But puzzles are the only way I have in order to reduce the universe's entropy! :)

Vacation == Puzzling! :)

2007-08-13T20:29:00.000+02:00

Vacation time!!! A lot of things to do... to read and to develop! But now the main goal in my mind is to finish a very very complex puzzle I started on Christmas.

It is very beautiful, it is a Vincent van Gogh paint, it's name is: The Starry Night.

It took 3 days of hard work... (and also 3 nights within puzzling nightmares :) ) but at the end the result is simply AMAZING!!!

The Motonacciu-Darwin Theory

2007-07-29T22:33:00.001+02:00

The huge difference among the evolution of the human
race and the animal one has some dark points.
Darwin thought that the prehensile thumb is the factor
that brings humans to take advantage of the other species,
but in his book, "The Origin of Species", he didn't
specify how it influenced our history. After several years,
researchers says that the prehensile thumb gave to the
humans the ability to handle and to seize objects.
The Motonacciu-Darwin theory wants to explain, practically,
the motivations behind the human race evolution.

As we know, the human being belongs to animal race,
thus the primary instinct of a men is to procreate with
animals of the same race with opposite sex (sometimes some
exception are noticed). Before the appearance of the first
prehensile thumb the only way the animals had in order to
satisfy this primary need was the sexual act with other
animals.

When we talk about the procreation between a male and a
female animal, the achievement of the sexual act, from the
male side, involves an expensive amount of time, power and
money. All this time that the human race stole, and still
steals today, for the procreation is time and resources stolen
to the race evolution. In fact, for thousand of years, the
animal race lived in those conditions, the main needs that
an animal succeeded to satisfy were those related to the race
continuation, to feed on and have sex.

Historians use to start talking about the real evolution
of the human race, just after the appearance of the first
opposit thumb. Actually, the ability to seize and above all
to handle objects makes the human race to save a huge amount
of time to dedicate to evolution thanks to one of the most
important human discovery ever: the masturbation.

We know that the hominid who discovered the masturbation
followed a scientific approach; after the first jack off,
he immediately understood the powerful of his invention.
He calculated that it takes only few minutes, there wasn't
an upper bound about the daily number, zero costs and a
very high satisfaction index. When he reach this mental
knowledge the hominid became Homo Sapiens and he took a
decision, to have a second jack off. When he finished,
he had the confirm about him theories and unconsciously
he became Homo Sapiens Sapiens. When he turned into this
new mental condition he decided that the jack off must not
be counted (and this is the real reason why today, we don't
know further hominids after the Homo Sapiens Sapiens).

Jacking off increased the life-time of the hominids and gave
them a powerful instrument to provide at one of the primordial
instincts: the procreation. So men have been started thinking
about something different than an hairy thing with a triangular
shape (pussy). And finally men started thinking and so invent.

The first men inventions, documented by scientist, were just
rudimentary instruments used to facilitate the masturbation
act; the invention of the wheel, for example, can be reviewed
with this meaning. Its discovery was casual, the thing that
the hominid wanted to build was an hole with a diameter that
fit him penis but just in case, around that hole, he gained
the wheel.

Step by step, invention after invention, jack off after jack
off, men became as we know today.

Howto furnish a room in Bologna! :)

2007-06-30T17:30:00.000+02:00

If you are a student... and you need some stuffs for your room, where must you go?? Shops?? NO! Just have a look to the wheelie-bins next to your apartment. :) Yes... the response is WHEELIE-BINS! Today I found a couple of mirrors very very nice... and of course now they are in my room. Look to my desk... the mirror.. the bookshelf... yes they come from the street! :)

0 Costs... maximum functionality! :)

Return to Bologna!

2007-06-29T20:40:00.000+02:00

Ok, the conference was nice... the city also but now I have to return to Bologna! :) This time table is not so clear... but I think that 'Flughafen' means airport! :)

I am at the Dresden airport.. but the weather is so bad... and all the flights have been delayed! :(
After 2 hours waiting for an available flight the only thing I can enjoy... is a very nice girl! She is not German... maybe Chinese! mmmhhh... Chinese girls! :)
Finally the flight is going to start, we have 2 hours of delay... and I have a plane to take in Frankfurt to Bologna. I really think I will lost that flight! :(
In the plane, the Lufthansa company give us chocolate in order to make us more happy! :)

Frankfurt... I'm arriving!

As I guess... when I arrive to the Frankfurt airport the flight to Bologna was already started. So I have to stay in Frankfurt for the night! :( (the next flight is tomorrow morning). Fortunally the Lufthansa company is very serious... very German and they take care for the accomodation (a 4 star hotel)... taxy... dinner... breakfast... and also a survivor bag with everything you need for a night in Frankfurt (except for the condoms.. auhauhauhauh :P)

The ISC'07 Conference!

2007-06-28T19:42:00.000+02:00

I like penguins...

Dresden... A very nice city! ...With very nice Girls! :)

2007-06-27T19:01:00.001+02:00

The Dresden adventure starts with a map! :)

...something really really German!

Mhhh... something like a 'MOSCHEA' I think... or not?

This is the Dresden International Converence Center. It is a very nice place... maybe the architect was a little bit drunk during its design, in fact the floor was not at level.

And this is the gorgeous center of the city

Police womans... mmmhhh... I hope they notice me and put me in jail (togheter with the blond girl) :) UhauhUhau! (You know... I'm italian... so be patient!)

REAL

A FAKE :)

So... I'd like to say to the italian finance... that I found the Bank where the famous italian artist, Luciano Ligabue, put his 'illegal' money! :) Uhauahauh
( sorry Luciano :P )

Robinson JR.??????? But he is the famous italian comic artist... FANTOZZI!!!???

...a 'comunist' in Germany??? and how is possible that he is still alive???

...street artists!

So, what we can say about Dresden... it is a very nice city! Girls are very beautiful also... having all those girls looking at you... all the day was very very nice! I really feel something like: 'the men of their dream'! :)
I know... as italian I have a target to mantein, but 4 days are not enough in order to get so closer to a girl! :) And if you know me... you also know that 3 months in the Netherlands had the same result! :( (...REBEKKA Where are you???) So I think I'm going to plan another trip to Dresden... to dedicate to 'girls hunting'! :P
German girls seems to have a strong personality... and I really appreciate that! And I discover that I also like German... no so much noise like in Italy... things works like a swiss clock! Very very interesting... The only problem is that germans don't really like italians! :) Am I wrong??

So... if you are a german GIRL... and you'd like to give me hospitality for a few days.. and introduce me into the german culture... I will really appreciate that! We have a mission... increase the Italians<->Germans integration!
So... not just because I'm handsome... funny... :) but think about the future, we have to built a better future for our children! A future where italians and germans could live together! :)

I'm waiting for proposals! :P

Me @ ISC'07: The International Supercomputing Conference

2007-06-21T12:00:00.000+02:00

Hi,
after 3 months working I have the opportunity to partecipate at this conference about Grid and supercomputers in Dresden (Germany).

You can find details abount the event overthere: ISC'07

...more information are also available at: CoreGRID Workshop

You will find the schedule of the event and actually the scheduled presentation of my paper (written all by myself) called: 'A Practical Approach to Workflow Management Systems'

I am very excited for that conference... it's my first experience... my first paper.. and my first english presentation... I hope all will be fine.

This experience has been started in a wrong way... the day before my departure I check my ID and I found that it was going to expire in about few days... and having the new ID was no simple... :) ...but now I'm ready to start. :)

Tomorrow morning a flight to Dresden is waiting for me! :)

P.S. Photos will come in a few days! :)

No Comment....

Today... is a SAD day! :(

2007-05-25T16:35:00.000+02:00

It's funny how the life can turn your dreams... yourself OFF in just one second.

Alanis Morisette in her nicest (that's just my opinion) song, Ironic, said

...
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
...

I think (and also hope) she is right... and I hope tomorrow will be a better day!

Hole -> Celebrity Skin -> Dying

2007-05-08T20:52:00.000+02:00

After my love to the great Katie Melua I found another fantastic song from a band called Hole. Actually the singer is Curtney Love! :)

The liryc I'm talking to is called Dying and it is in the Celebrity Skin album.

Here you are the lyric's text:

You see the cripple dance
Pay your money, baby
Now's your chance
Eyes like cyanide

I am so dumb
Just beam me up
I've had it all forever
I've had enough

Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin

Our love is quicksand
So easy to drown
They steal the gravity, yeah
From moving ground

Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin

And now I understand
You leave with everything
You leave with everything I am
Withering

And now I know that love is dead
You've come to bury me
There's nothing left here to pretend
Anything

Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin

I'm dying, I'm dying, please (3 x's)
Under your skin

Under your skin

Absolutely fantastic! :) Doesn't it?

After several years looking for the perfect meal I found that the Kinder Delice is something near the perfection. It gives u a very strong CHARGE in few pounds!
So, if u are working and you feel very very tired... a kinder delice can save yourself, your life and of course the position in that company! :) A Kinder Delice increases your productivity!

Finally we can say that a Kinder Delice is like sex, it takes 5 minutes... and gives you the same results! except for a baby! :)

So... "PEACE and KINDER DELICE"!

A Flash of Inspiration

2007-04-29T22:54:00.000+02:00

Last week end I found a 'special' link between several things I really really like, but let's start from the beginning.
I decided to spend the weekend in Marche (as u see from the previous post), I spend few minutes in a bookshop at the Bologna rail station and I got into a book... this one:

English title: 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra'

So start reading that book and I literally eat it... I am totally into Nietzsche mind and into the his 'superman'. I was so happy about that... but the day after something more amazing happened; I was listening some good musing with my iPod and the 'shuffle' function start playing a strange song. It was a classical music song... a song I really really like; I usually use it to give me a SHOCK. It is a Straus song and it's name is:

I immediately understand that 'Also Sprach' means 'Thus Spoke' and I start doing research... and I solve the mistery... I read that Strauss wrote this song taking inspiration from Nietzsche's book. So... one of my favourite songs has a really strong link with that book... and this song close in about one minute (the first one... the most known) the origin on the Nietzsche's 'superman'.

After that another flash cross my mind... this song is also the main soundtrack of Stanley Kubrick's film: '2001 a Space Odyssey' that is one of my favorite films. :) As you know Kubrick is a genious and if HE uses this song... HE wants to say something to us. Maybe you are thinking this is a joke... I really promise you this is a sort of coincidence... or a God design.

It's not finished yet. In my library I also have a book... I buy and read several years ago the Arthur C. Clarke romance:

whose Kubrick's film takes inspiration. I spend several time thinking and 'Googling' about that and I finally understand ALL! I understand that '2001: A Space Odyssey' simply talks about the Nietzsche's 'superman' teory (deep explaination, in italian sorry).

And now I really need to jack off :P

Italy -> Marche -> Ancona -> Let's go to the SEA!

2007-04-29T21:48:00.000+02:00

So... this is the 'Conero'... no other words need!

...and very close to the 'Conero' there is this very very very beautiful italian girl (you can't see her face cause of the privacy... but I think that you didn't notice the black box! is it right? :) ) who like to show...

...and... I think no more words need!

And this is 'Porto Novo'...

We found a monument... it is very similar to stonehenge... I found it, so its name will be 'motonhenge' :)
...so what else? Forget the 'Caraibi'... the 'Hawaii'... and come in Ancona this summer... expecially if you are a nice girl between 20-25 and you are single (asians and japaneses are welcome too)! :)

Welcome to Canon PowerShot A570 IS

2007-04-23T20:58:00.000+02:00

After few months without a camera... (the old ricoh camera died after a fall :)) I finally got a new digital camera a Canon!! This cheap (about 250 euro on eBay) camera has all you need: 7.1 MPixel, 4x Optical Zoom (4x Digital too), Image Stabilizer, Face detection and the awesome Canon lens!

So forget the Ricoh digital camera... focus on Canon... and SHOT! :)

Canon makes me more and more handsome! :)
I love CANON!!!!

Working @ INFN!

2007-02-19T21:08:00.000+01:00

Finally I found a very exiting R&D job in Bologna. The INFN is the National Institute of Nuclear physics and is involved in Grid computing research.

INFN have also GRID of about 1000 PCs. 1000 IBM X-Series workstation give us a huge amount of CPU cycles and a very very very huge amount of bits... something like 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 and more bits!!!! :) Such amount of bits and CPUs makes me horny! GRRR! :) I'm loving it!

S. Valentine... Saying "I LOVE U!" to your PC!

...going to Rende (Catanzaro)!!!

2007-01-30T21:47:00.000+01:00

Hi to all... I know u miss me... I know you want to see new picture of me... the nicest man in the world! :) ...and here I am!!! All your dreams will be satisfied! :) (maybe just a little if u are a man!)

Previous week-end I get a cool working experience... and I had the opportunity to visit South Italy... LA CALABRIAA!!

I took a preistorik plane in Ancona...
...to Rome... and frome Rome to Lamerzia Terme.

I slept in a fation hotel...

and for the pleasure of my fans (only girls... I'm not GAY!)... here u are the nicest man in the world... :)

MAME and a lot of memories!!!

2006-11-18T17:36:00.000+01:00

After MAME on Palm... I start playing (a little) with XMAME (the linux version of Mame) and I start playing with Mortal Kombat 3... okok... I hope you know what Mortal Kombat is!! I really really hope! :)

So... when I was a child (15-17) years old I had no money for a Personal Computer but I had a nice MSX (Z80 CPU with no disk drive...) where I use to write very stupid Basic programs!

The MSX is also a playing machine... and I had some games... you know games on records... you had to load those games into memory and sometimes this process took some hours! :)

The next step was... The SEGA MEGA DRIVE!!!! A nice playing station where I use to play... Mortal Kombat!!!!
Every day... after school I play Mortal Kombat, but it was not just a play... but a study. Every day I play with a different fighter... and learn everything about him... moves... fatality...ecc.. ecc... After few month all Mortal Kombat 2 was in my mind... all the moves of all the fighters Raiden (my favourite), Liu Kang, Sub Zero, Scorpion, Reptile... etc etc...

After MK2 I start learning MK3... MK3 I think is the best MK. My favourite fighter in MK3 was Kabal!! It is fast... very fast!

And now... after 10 years without Mortal Kombat I try to play with it using MAME.... after few minutes my old memories come in my mind... and I realize I still remember all the moves and some fatalities (for example the Liu Kang dragon one - DOWN-FORWARD-BACK-BACK-HIGH_KICK!)

Here you are MK3:

I think this is the nicest game in the world... there is no like Mortal Kombat. I played also with Mortal Kombat 4. It is in 3D... but something is missing... MK3 is the best!!!! :)

MAME on Palm???? Oh my God! :P

2006-11-18T16:43:00.000+01:00

So... I know you are waiting for some Java application running in my Palm... but when I saw the PalmMame project I couldn't wait put it on my device... after some... MemoryOverflow Error... or Segmentation Fault... here it is Mame running on Palm!!!!!Of course I tried to run my favourite game (Mortal Kombat 1-2-3) but no success (rom files are too bug). So I start with smaller game... and finally I...

I love this device... gaming is very fast! ...but I have no time for gaming! :( ehehe! WORKing WORKing WORKing WORKing WORKing WORKing WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2006-11-18T16:19:00.000+01:00

Guys... I'm going to mobile web! Here it is my new 'tiny game'... a nice Palm Tungsten E2. This device is quite impressive.... and really really nice.

I'm playing with this device since one week and I have a JVM running on it... so I'm going to build some now amazing Java-Palm orientend applications! :)

Nerd or not Nerd???

2006-10-11T20:25:00.000+02:00

After many many years of studies... today I have a vision about the life... and about the question: Who is a nerd... and who is not a nerd???

...that is the answer... (in UML notation... because I am a nerd! :) )Do not copy this diagram because it is under the moton@cciu copyright. And moton@cciu copyright expires the day after your dead! UaHAuhaahAUAAHUUAhaAhuaha :)

Katie Melua - The Closest Thing to Crazy

2006-10-11T20:04:00.000+02:00

How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?

CHORUS:
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own…
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.

How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart;
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn for you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?

CHORUS

...and being close to you
...and being close to you.

engineers.add(new Engineer("Davide","blasfemo"))

2006-10-10T23:10:00.000+02:00

Today one of my bestfriend, Davide, become an engineer! I'm very proud of him... and this is my chance to provide a nice joke for him. :)

So.. Davide is a very very Apple fanatic, "Apple" pronunciation in italian language can be written as: " Eppol". Eppol has no meaning but it sounds the same than "Apple".

So I prepare a very very nice T-Shirt for him. Uahuahuahuah... Following the example of "I LOVE NY" T-Shirts I made a "I LOVE EPPOL" T-Shirt:

FRONT

BACK

And now... some pictures about him:
I think in this photo he looks like... Silvio... ehm ehm... Sivio Berlusconi! Doesn't it? :)

XGL... I LOVE U!

2006-09-21T21:24:00.000+02:00

Mac OSX SUCKS! If u want a real 3D desktop manager... use XGL. It is free... open source... it is simple to install... and it really WORKS! and works FAST! (OSX SUCKS!)

Expose' like... but FASTER!!!!

And switching to another desktop never been so COOL! I love the Cube desktop switching... So...
If u are using linux ubuntu Dapper (like me) search for XGL + Ubuntu Dapper on Google and have fun!!!!

Windows... SUCKS!

2006-07-09T12:34:00.000+02:00

If u want to develop a business application on Windows... you might start crying! :)
You need at least 2 operative system... Windows 2003 server to have an Active Directory and the OS in your laptop (a Windows XP Pro).

Then u need an IDE to develop... a complex application could involve different languages... so we need 2 IDEs, eclipse for Java and SharpDevelop for C#.

In this way you can see you poor laptop start cry... but not think-pads! :) My think-pad is happy to handle such kind of job... and I am happy too! :p

Maybe I will buy additional RAM to my think-child for its birthday... it is a good laptop... I'm proud of it!

Proud to be a NERD!!

2006-07-08T15:35:00.000+02:00

If u are a real nerd you might be proud to say: "I'm a NERD!". So... if u feel like me, and if u want to express your self everywhere... you need this NERD-shirt with your name! If u are interested contact me.

THINKPAD??? ...BEST Laptop in the world!!!

2006-07-07T17:15:00.000+02:00

This is my laptop... its name si THINK-NERD because it makes me a real nerd! In the past I had a apple iBook notebook... the computer for WOMEN! hauahauh... but now my thinkpad with ubuntu linux makes me very very happy day after day!

I'm looking forward to buy a Thinkpad X60... a 12" dual core notebook! I think the more powerful 12" notebook in the world!

Maybe thinkpads are too expensive... but they are really really stable... relaiable... faster than others... strong... thin... not heavy... so thinkpads are a dream only for very NERD people!

If u are a nerd... u need a thinkpad... otherwise u are a very stupid nerd... and u are not able to understand this simple piece of code:

typedef char* (*func)(void);
char *i_am(){ return "I am "; }
char *a_nerd(){ return "a NERD!"; }

int main(char **args){
int i = 2;
func pointer[] = {a_nerd,i_am};

while(i--)
printf("%s", pointer[i]());
printf("\n");
}

UAHUHAUHUAHUA!!!!
