> Title: Giorni Dispari (Divenire Tour2007) Author: Ludovico Einaudi The piano is a “frightening” instrument for me. I have a lot of walls. I have thousands of bricks making these walls. I have my castle that helps me to fight against all the bad things. But the piano is like an earthquake that destroy everything around. And it leaves me alone with my self. A terrible comparison between the exterior me and the interior me. Two sides of the same person, that can’t live together in the same place: at least one must die. Or disappear. ...

Taipei 101: The tallest building in the world since 2004 This is my 101 days. Writing a post on the 100 (50 * 2) was just too obvious ;) A lot of things are changed, and a lot are still changing. My life is stable like an Elephant on the point of a needle. The Big City has giving a lot to my “maturation process” as Software Engineer, but it’s not just gold because it sparkle, is it? But it worth it. We come out of University thinking “we deserve the best”, but we don’t. At least, we don’t yet. I’m figuring out, every day much more clearly, that University is just a gym, and whatever we did there, it is just not enough for the business world. ...

A good programming language is far more than a simple collection of features. My ideal is to provide a set of facilities that smoothly work together to support design and programming styles of a generality beyond my imagination. Here, I briefly outline rules of thumb (guidelines, principles) that are being applied in the design of [en:C++0x]. Then, I present the state of the standards process (we are aiming for C++09) and give examples of a few of the proposals such as concepts, generalized initialization, being considered in the ISO [en:C++] standards committee. Since there are far more proposals than could be presented in an hour, I’ll take questions. ...

English: Beautiful!!! Napoletano: Ruoss!!! Nu capaton allucinant!!! American: Cooooool!!! Italiano: La prima puntata della quarta serie dimostra da subito che gli autori hanno ancora diverse frecce al loro arco. E sono pronti a scagliarle al momento più opportuno. In particolare, un paio di elementi sono stati solamente accennati, senza entrare troppo nei dettagli. Questo suggerisce tutta una serie di possibili risvolti, e regala al telespettatore la sensazione di stare assistendo all’inizio di un’altra grande annata per House M.D..

Update 2007-10-02: I just discovered that [en:NBC] has released, during all the Heroes series, graphic novels that “complete” the Heroes story. More details [en:List_of_Heroes_graphic_novels|here]. Good stuff NBC!!! WOW. I’m addicted. Another time. On June 2007 my friend Nemo wrote a post about his new addiction, [en:Heroes_(TV series)|Heroes], a brand new american TV Serial: Heroes is an American science fiction drama television series, created by Tim Kring, which premiered on NBC on September 25, 2006. The show tells the story of several people who “thought they were like everyone else… until they realized they have incredible abilities” such as telepathy, time travel, flight and spontaneous regeneration. These people soon realize they have a role in preventing a catastrophe and saving mankind. The series emulates the writing style of American comic books with short, multi-episode story arcs that build upon a larger, more encompassing arc. Kring said “we have talked about where the show goes up to five seasons.” … ...

There was once a man who had 2 horses, but he couldn’t tell them apart. So he cut the tail off one, but it didn’t work, because it grew again. So he cut the mane off one, but it didn’t work, because it grew again. Then he misured them, and he found that the black hourse was 4cm shorter than the white horse. -_- P.S. This “joke” was used (in an interesting teaching way) during my first lesson for the ESOL L1 course in the [en:Southwark College], just started today. P.P.S. I know: it’s a shame to have a course in Saturday, at 9:30, when you are supposed to sleep. But, what can I do?

From [en:Stephen_Fry|Wikipedia]: Stephen John Fry (born 24 August 1957) is an English comedian, writer, actor, novelist, filmmaker and television personality. The former comedy collaborator of [en:Hugh Laurie], he is also the host of the television panel game [en:QI]. I like this man. I discovered him thanks to Laurie, and reading and watching him I discovered that he is great on his own. Fry and his FryPhone (is not my idea: is him) ...

Uno dei rapporti di forza a cui ogni uomo dovrebbe sempre stare attento è quello tra il potere che ha ed il potere che può gestire. La bilancia dovrebbe pendere SEMPRE dal secondo: questo ci rende ancora “uomini buoni”. Ma la storia è da sempre scritta da chi col potere si è prima “dissetato”, e poi “ubriacato”. Vincenzo Conciatori - Il Potere Caro mio Grillo, ha ragione Daniele Luttazzi a mandarti a Cagare. Questo non cancella il messaggio veicolato dal V-Day e tutto quello che è seguito. Ma aiuta ad aggiungerne uno nuovo, che tante persone hanno DA SUBITO cercato di sottolineare: ...

My friend Manu, after she has Simpsonized her boyfriend and her self, she wasted her time Simpsonizing Me! :) Here is the result: Yeah, I have the face of a Serial Killer, haven’t I? Or… just of a “pesc eh nicolò” (sorry, I can’t translate it)!
