If there was any reader left of this blog, he would surely have noticed that the frequency of the posts has been dramatically low for one year or more. As I have really not enough time to devote to writing useful information tidbits, I decided to display here the tweet messages I write. They’re displayed on the right column. Hope someone finds them inspiring…

Whatever happens, never, ever, think that having just copied all of your data on an external hard disk, it is a good time to wipe your main disk clean to selectively import back only recent and important stuff. Or just to achieve drefragmentation, old-skool.

Because the backup disk, even if used for only about an hour, MIGHT FAIL.

And take with it all your digital life: music, pictures, code, documents and the rest.

R.I.P. Maxtor 3200 500GB external drive, 2007 – 2009. Always cursed for speed and noise, only after thou left was your worth acknowledged.

I’m excited, happy and proud to start my new job, based in Paris, as an employee of eZ Systems France.
Besides making a great product, the company truly believes in the open source model, and it is even making some money (enough at least to pay my rent!). What else could a php coder ask for?

I am eager to meet my colleagues über hacker Derick Rethans and Tobias Schlitt, whom I first met at the Italian php day last year, and of course the complete staff of the Lyon office, a bunch of young and talented geeks that will surely put my skills to shame.

Btw, for those lazy people that don’t speak italian, the title loosely means “put your money where your mouth is”

So long, and thanks for all the fish, err… the great support and fantastic times together!

Più incredibile che vero, il mio luddita, tecnofobico e fissato-con-il-passato genitore (nonchè artista mica da poco) mi ha scavalcato a piè pari nell’utilizzo del media web, ed è atterrato direttamente in google video.

Qui è visualizzabile un breve – ma bellissimo – cortometraggio realizzato in occasione di una sua esposizione a Bruxelles, in cui racconta (in francese) la poetica e la visione alla base dei suoi lavori recenti.

Di solito non seguo molto le vicende calcistiche, ma con la gente impazzita per strada che andrà avanti e indietro tutta la notte urlando e strombazzando non mi rimane che sedermi davanti al computer e mettere online un paio di foto dei festeggiamenti…

I finally made it: the GGGeek website has been (almost) completely reimplemented.

It is now powered by the popular WordPress blogging package.
Most of the old content has been migrated (well, you know,it was not that much anyway…).
As you can notice, I am quite conservative when it comes to web page design.

In the next few days I hope to finish the graphics and the remaining sections…
…as well as dig a bit in the WP code: I think I already found an annoying bug
