I am in a room containing 2 running desktop computers complete of 2 mouses and 2 keyboards, of which 1 is attached to a monitor and the other one is missing a side of the case to let the IDE cables connect to a HD that is sitting on the top of it en-plain-air, 1 disassembled computer, 1 ADSL WiFi router, 2 cell phones, several meters of ethernet cables and a laptop (where I am typing this).
All this happens while I wait Ubuntu 7.04 finishes installation on one of the aforementioned machines. Its big resources (1GHz and 256M RAM) are making the process last forever. Luckily there’s someone online to chat with (thanks Erasing).

Today I mixed this ingredients in the same dish: mozzarella di bufala, pomodori, zucchine, cipolla, pasta, olio, sale. Lovely.

Ever thought of moving from 3 to 25 gestures?

This is the perfect execution of an idea I had for 6 or 7 months now. I thought even about the “share with friends, family or the world part”. Tumblr got close to my sketches, but this is almost 100% identical to what could be my braindump on the topic. Great, makes me feel “on the web2.0 track” on one hand and pretty sorry for not being fast enough on the other (hand). Gah. An brilliant idea is nothing without a great execution: so true.
In the meantime I got my laptop back and “looks like it works like a charm”. Let’s see how long it lasts this time.

The first time they changed the HD. Now they changed the mother board. Nevertheless the laptop freezes after 3 mins during first use. Now it’s back to assistence again.

It’s not embedded, it’s not a stand-alone app, it’s GTalk-alone.

My laptop took less than 3 mins to show the same problems it used to show. Now it’s back to assistence. Yay!

Meanwhile in no particular order: I started my career as Drupal teacher, I have been contacted by 3 different people in a range of 2 weeks for Drupal/PHP consulence, 2nd semester lessons began, I finally decided to bring my laptop to assistence (still a decision, but a firm one this time: infact I am using my old resurrected laptop with some directories binded from my external drive, too much fun), everyone around is writing Twitter is great (I haven’t tried it out, but I don’t feel like it’s my kind of site), I am trying to move away from my “alway keep Gmail/Gtalk on first tab in Firefox” habit toward a more concentrating environment featuring Evolution (an email client) and possibly Google Homepage with embedded Gtalk when needed.

PS: for auto-celebration’ sake (I know it’s nothing, but I love it):

#1: The nicest part of learning the art of massaging must be realizing you are learning something you won’t be able to use on yourself.
#2: I want my next webapp to pull markup into the content instead of making me push it.

The last mark I was awaiting for (Programming Patterns) turned out to be a lovely 30/30 cum laude. Whoah.
I think I’ll celebrate with the purchase of an external HD. I have been thinking a lot about this purchase and now I feel the moment has come to go for it. I need it to backup my /home and bring my laptop to the technical assistence, it has weird boot lock-up problems.

EDIT: changed URL to external HD
