There we are. Another year's gone. : /
And I'm at 34.
Happy birthday to meeeee, happy birthday to meeeee, etc..etc..
I'm getting old.. Should I begin to worry about it? : P
I still have so many things to fixxx.. : 7
Well, at least.. party tonight. : )
(And in this case the cake isN'T a lie! ¦d' )
Cheers! : D
y.
A friend of mine asked me what present I'd like for my birthday, so I wrote a list..
Take it a look. Perhaps you may find some nice idea for your friends or for yourself. :)
(!!To avoid misunderstandings: I've not been payd for posting these links here. :P
Said this, if the site owners would like to show me their appreciation in someway for the free AD.. this will not offend me! ;) )
-----------------------------
---BOOKS
Well, I like to read, so it shouldn't be hard here..
However, I'd like to read Terry Pratchett's books (except for "Guards!Guards!" which someone actually gave me, in original language :P) as well as the 5 books trilogy (!) by Douglas Adams (someone made me read the 1st one "The Hitch-hicker's guide to the galaxy" and I liked it a lot!).
Someone told me about an interesting book named "Hismael" or something.. I don't remember sadly, but it shouldn't be hard to find it.
The plot has something to do with a phylosophical discussion between the main character and a chimp, or something...
I already have tons of novel books, even if I didn't read them all... :P
I like book about curious science facts, but they have to be neither too easy nor to require special knowledges to get the book content.. :/
I can read english text but slowly (since I often need to check the dictionary.. :/)
-----------------------------
---C64
Since I come from the 8 bit age and I also got a C64, a wonderful T-shirt with the "READY." text would be nice. :)
http://lemon.spreadshirt.net/it/IT/Shop/Index
Sadly it's always a risk with wearing stuff, it'd be good to try them before, to avoid buying stuff which doesn't fit... x/
I have some small size shirts, but also some medium size ones. It's not easy to find the correct size without trying the thing. I usually prefer skin-tight ones, but to avoid mistakes I should get a bigger size.. :7
-----------------------------
---TEA
I'm a tea/blends lover. I'd like some good tea! :)
http://jingtea.com/tea/finest-and-rarest
A chinese friend of mine made me try the pu-ert: never tried something like that before! It's very special and good! ¦d'
(Even if that one was probably aged and expensive.. :P)
http://jingtea.com/tea/finest-and-rarest/1990s-royal-cooked-puerh-loose-1990s-jun-shu-puerh
I know that it's possible to find also mushrooms and seaweeds tea around (even if I'd call them blends rather than tea.. :P), and I'd be curious to try them! I wander what they taste like..? :d
-----------------------------
---VARIOUS GADGETS
"USB Heated Gloves"
http://www.funusb.com/index.php/component/option,com_ixxocart/Itemid,/id,19/lang,en/p,product/parent,6/
useful during winter. :)
"USB Beverage Cup Cooler and Warmer"
http://www.vat19.com/dvds/usb-warmer-cooler.cfm
Something like this would be useful since I'm a tea lover. It's easy to find in many variations and shapes: the only things to check is that it was to be both a warmer and a cooler with a useful temperature variation (if it's only +/- 5-10°c, it's easier to keep warm the cup with bare hands. :P), and perhaps that it's possible to use it also without the PC once provided a AC/USB adapter. :)
http://gadizmo.com/the-only-metal-pen-youll-ever-need.php
Interesting. A metal pen! :|
I'd like to have also a USB digital TV receiver to watch TV on the PC. :)
But it's probably too expensive. :P
-----------------------------
---TIES
WEE!! Awesomeness! (o_O)
Even if I have no idea of when I'd have the chance to wear it.. to a wedding perhaps?? They're very chic! hmmboh..:?
Very cool, anyway! :o

http://www.cyberoptix.com/wood.php
http://www.cyberoptix.com/shark.php
A combination of two of these colors (even if made of microfiber, not necessarily silk) would be perfect: Black, Char, Silver, White, Sage, Khaki, Ivory, Olive. Perhaps dark on pale, or vice versa, so that the draw would be enhanced by the contrast.. :)

The ThinkGeek website has tons of silly wonderful things!! :D
http://www.thinkgeek.com/
for example...
---STUFF TO WEAR!
http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/feature/desc/0/all
About anything to wear I'm sensitive in taste. A present like this would be risky.. :P
These are almost all T-shirts and I already have many of them, I'd risk to open a shop myself.. still these are all wonderful! :)
(even if some of them are way too expensive being just a black shirt with a line of text, or worse a single word, printed on it.. >:7 )
Themain problem is still to find the correct size: the american ones are way bigger than the italian ones, and I'm small.. I'd need an extra small or I'd end up using it as a bathrobe.. x|
Anyway (disregarding female and kyds stuff, for obvious reasons.. ^^; ) many of them are nice!
- "i read your e-mail."
- "man woman" (wondeful.. anyone who use linux would laugh at it.. xD)
- "Cheshire totoro face" (of course! people don't call me yayo for nothing! <3 Miyazaki! ;) )

- "#000000" and "no comment" (good for the ones who understand HTML! ^^)
- "I see dumb people." and "I see dead pixels."
- "I failed the turing test."
- the ones with the "pi", "e" and "phi" shapes created using the number themselves
- "External Exercise" this one make me laugh! xD
- "I never finish anyth" this one would be appropriate for me. :|
- "shakespeare" to be or not to be written using the regular expressions! very nice! ^^
- "LMAO" xD
- "98% chimp" ^^;
- "viva la relativity!"
- "loading... please wait" xD
- "binary people"
- "meh." and "no." :)
- "evolution" cute.. even if I'm not a lego fan.. :)
other things...
- "HEAD tag hat" nice.
- the Indiana Jones' Fedora is wonderful but too expensive.. :(
- this is: the "1up" and "geek" beanies would fit on me! :)
- the "TIES SUCK tie" (una cravatta con scritto "le cravatte fanno schifo" in binario! :) )
- "dot matrix wallet" nice wallet. original idea.
- "original ring thing" always useful! sadly it's someway too expensive to be a bare metal ring.. :P
- "8bit tie" haha! cool! xD (but I'm not sure I'd really wear it.. it's someway weird.. 8| )
---TOYS! :D
http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/feature/desc/0/all
- "japanese pocket puzzle" cute.. :)
- "desktop dinosaur plant" nice! it stays alive even if you forgot to give it water! :P

- "42 utility towel" this one would make a pair with the "The hitch-hicker's guide to the galaxy" by Douglas Adams! ^^

- "plasma bulb night light" nice! I wonder how much light does it really produce..? :|
- "auto led" useful. :) but perhaps not so cheap.. :/
- "outdoor window LCD termometer" useful. :P
- "led binary watch" cool!! :o but expensive.. :/
- "nippon fusion watches" nice. :| but I don't use often the watch.. I'd use it just to be cool in especial occasions.. :P

---HOME/OFFICE STUFF! :D

anything else is too expensive or it'd be useless for me .. :P
---FOOD
About food and drinks... I'm curious about the ibiscus flowers :|

http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/84b2/
The mini pet cactus is cute! :)
The "GP2x wiz MAME/Amiga/Console Emulator" is wonderful! :o ..but expensive! sigh. well, nevermind.. x/
---BOOKS! :|
http://www.thinkgeek.com/books/all/
Well, that's a nice list to browse..
And it's all crazy stuff, however. 8)
"Forbidden knowledge", "The zombie survival guide" (popular book), "Mind hacks", "Visual guide to lockpicking", "Urawaza, secret japanese tips" (this one should be interesting.. :P), "Why there's antifreeze in your toothpaste"..
-----------------------------
And that's all the stuff that I managed to think of during the lates days. :P
:)
y.
I got many troubles recently in displaying this page: the browser suddenly stopped loading the stylesheet.
Some days ago I finally decided to fix it.
I tried verifying the code searching for errors, in both CSS and HTML.
Nothing to do.
Once verified that some friends were able to see the page correctly, I understood that the problem wasn't in the page itself but in my browser and I started checking all the firefox extensions, untill... bam! It comes out that it was AD-Block, the one I use to drop spam and annoying advertisements.
One of the blacklists I'm subscribed to, has this domain listed as malware source, and doesn't block javascript, flash and stuff only, but CSS files too!
In other words if you're viewing this page as a hypertext, without a colored background, sbnapshots and such... it's not my fault: check your browser. There's nothing I can do. :P
I asked for info on the AD-Block forum, and they replied that the mantainers of such blacklist (Malwaredomains), don't add subdomains when there are too many, because the list in itself is long enough already: they simply add the base domain, cutting off the good things with the bad ones. Not so strange, actually...
So there's nothing to do. :|
I also subscribed to Facebook recently. Even if I still think it's someway a dangerous toy, which also doesn't seems to care at all about people privacy, I decided to keep the account, since it allows me to keep in touch with some persons.
And being me now on, I decided to take the chance to open a free group against the "protected" troll communities. Who read also my previous articles knows that I consider it a bad idea, and he also knows why.
Sadly in the end I managed to collect only 2 members (3 with me)! :|
While another group, which has been created to ask for a person to enter the network (not a VIP, a very normal person), a group categorized as "totally useless", already has 130 members! :/
I don't know if it's worse facebook, full of useless stuff and which totally disregard for people privacy, or if it's worse the people who use it only to make silly tests and subscribing to useless groups all the time...
Well, if someone want to come in, you can find it as "people who disapprove protected troll communities".
In other news, since a couple of months I (finally!) moved from the old P4 1.5Ghz to a shiny new laptop with 17" screen and a dual core P9600 processor 2.66Ghz. :)
It's wonderful!
Now I need to fix the lack of a job.. x/
