Well, this is intended to be a post where I blame myself about doesn't caring too much of my blog so, if you hate this kind of things, just skip this post.
I started this blog with the promise of keeping it a bit more personal than the others I used to write on and it turns out that I'm not keeping it updated at all. Probably this is because I'm too lazy to maintain it, or (more) probably I still haven't decided in which language should I post.
In the meantime I'm writing these lines to tell you that I'm still alive and that:
So.. what did I do all of this time?
Well.. I've been very busy (ok, not that busy) studying, twittering, working (yes, especially during the summer) and doing what I do best: thinking about the future (which for most people means "wasting time").
I've designed some websites (but never found the time to put them on my "floating" portfolio), and scribbled many and many UI ideas, some of which may be coded in the next months (hmmm, still thinking about them).
A lot of others things happened and I should probably say something about my new "adventure" in the University of Udine but tonight I have to stop here. It's 1:06am right now, I have sleep at least 6 hours ;)
Will I write again here?
Definitely. I will do my best to keep this blog updated! However, you can follow me on internet in many many ways, for example: I Tweet A LOT! (both in italian and english)
If you want, drop me a "hi!!" (@gigasoft) on twitter, it would be very appreciated! :)
Until next time! Giovanni also known as gigasoft
Ps note that since I don't use too much my english-only twitter account (@nowseriously), you can follow me on @gigasoft if you want :)
During the winter, my cousin, sister and I, went out to shoot some photos in Sappada (north-east Italy).
It's been a great day to try out sister's D60, cousin's D90 and "my" totally not as-awesome-as-their-cams Sony-Cybershot-something-else.
It's been a lot of fun and really exciting because, you know, we were shooting at 8 feet (2/3 meters) over the ground! (thanks to the gorgeous amount snow).
I'm planning, or better say hoping, to buy a serious camera this year, so wait for some great videos in the next months/years/centuries :)
UPDATE!!:
here is the link to the photo-set (and it's full of photos that doesn't appear in the video).
I'm writing this post because some people sent me email wondering if I was still alive.
Well, the answer is YES, and let me add something more interesting before I go away again:)
Why did I Photoshopped it in this totally ugly way?
Because... I'm busy DSE :)
In these days I'm really really busy: a lot of things to study and some designs/sites to deliver.
I'm so busy/lazy that I don't event twit the way I used to (at least on my english profile, on the italian one I'm quite active).
BUT. let me update you on some things:
I've got some projects in mind (like usual..), and some of them should be fast to develop and show to the world
I've bought an iPhone (2G with 16GB) and sold my iPod Touch
I'm planning a secret trip outside europe so, don't tell anyone
As many people should know, I spent a lot of hours in the making of nowseriously.com, and that's because I wanted to start with a brand new website, new contents (before this blog I've always blogged in italian), new projects, and something cool to show.
During the first days of september, I came out with me.nowseriously.com: an "experiment" of making a personal website using only Open Source products (such as Inkscape, Gimp and the powerful/awesome/the-best PHP framework, Symfony).
This has been a sort of personal success, with comments from some international bloggers and designers, and some subscriptions to the notification list too.
Nearly a month agoI came out with this blog, and today, after a few posts and tons of twitter updates, I ask you one question:
Tonight I went out with Clood to have another friend switch to mac, and I have to say it: Macbooks and beers are perfect together!
We set up a wifi network (the easiest I've ever seen), got a bit drunk, and laughed a bit about the Safari's "integrated porn-mode".
Unfortunately the "switcher" had ordered a mac just before the release of iWork and iLife '09 so, you know, he'll miss guitar lessons and the awesome iPhoto's face-detector.
