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)!
Update 2007-09-14: I re-listed it on eBay because they contacted me and said that I’ll receive my money for the 2 auction back. As usual, eBay has a great Customer Care (or, at least, this is my present and past experience about that). Update 2007-09-12: I sold it twice. Twice was a spoof/fake. :( A fake account on eBay bought it with the option “Buy Now”. Then he asked to me to send the product in Africa (Nigeria) and asked to me to pay with PayPal. In the beginning I thought it was strange… but with the money, I would sell also in Nicaragua. ...
I posted a lot of time ago a promotional-candid-camera from Shell+Ferrari. The main character was the Great [en:Michael Schumacher].

Here we are. 0.2. 0.2 of nothing but a “divertissment” which help me to learn better and better the Cocoa Framework, and discover all the magic stuff it does. The release notes is: 0.2 (2007-09-09) * Support for Italian, Spanish, French and German (Thanks to [Manu](http://secretum.neminis.org/)). > * New "Preferences" panel to set the "Default Currency" to convert from/to and the "Default Currency Ammount" to set at the application startup (Thanks to the [Alhandra's](http://alhandra.wordpress.com/) suggestion). > * Remove a Bug in the "German Mark" definition (I wrote "Deutsche Mark" in the English version :P ) > One important aspect I learnt is how to bind Preferences to the User Defaults (the Cocoa default preferences system). Pratically, the one that generates, for every app, a file .plist in your ~/Library/Preferences directory. Unix-Style joined with Apple-Style. ...
Update 10th of Sep 2007: The name of the Restaurant is “Sig. Grilli - Ristorante Pizzeria” in 40 Goodge Street, London W1. I wrote a review about it in Italian ;) It was parked in Tottenham Court Road. We were just out of an Italian Restaurant (£25.00 each… for a beef steak and House’s Red Wine!!!)… when I saw it: It’s beautiful, isn’t it?

First release, first problem. After a lot of research about the standard [en:ISO 4217] (the one that define the “3 letter name” for every currency in the world) and all the symbols of European currencies, I miss one: the [en:Slovenian Tolar]. If someone is able to find it out and, ideally, to give me the relative [en:Unicode_Symbols|Unicode] it will be very appreciated. Also, I’m looking for someone able to translate the name of the different currencies (13) in, at least, French, German and Spanish. Other languages are welcome too. Manu, this call is to you ;) .
I started. What? My “project” of learn how to write (serious) apps for Mac OS X. Using Cocoa. Details on the “official” page: Experiments with Cocoa. Cocoa Butter… What’s the first “experiment”? HiEuro!
I tried it from the first release, but I was disappointed because of the “heavyness” of the indexing process: all my apps seems to be like “yawning” at every interaction I did. But because I like Google (yes, I said! I like it!) I thought “why don’t give to it another chance?”. I read a post on the Official Google Mac Blog about the latest release (1.1.0.520 (8/31/2007)) and I simply installed it (not a classical Mac OS X installer, but we can forgive this…). ...
I went inside the store (www.halfords.com) to choose a Town&Trial Bike (also known as Touring Byke): just because I have to go around “a city”. But when I saw her I forgot about any “stupid-little-tiny-weels-bike” and just loved her at first sight!

Tra le tante opportunità che offre la città di Londra, resto sempre più affascinata dalla cultura e dall’importanza che questo popolo riserva ai suoi “personaggi”, a coloro che legano il nome dell’Inghilterra alla propria fama, portandolo in tutto il mondo… uno di questi è [en:William Shakespeare]. Ebbene sulle rive del Tamigi, nel Bankside, si trova il teatro aperto nel 1997, dedicato al lavoro del novellista, nel quale vengono rappresentate le sue opere da diverse compagnie! Ma per ulteriori informazioni vi consiglio di dare un’occhiata al sito ufficiale dello Shakespeare’s Globe, che di sicuro riconoscerete in questo filmato. ...
