A little snapshot of me, cutted out to show only the mouth and the high part of the chest. I'm wearing a white plush with hood, and I'm leaned forward.
This is me: so cool! :P

quotation (skip)
«The most puzzling feature of the doujinshi market, for those trained in the law, at least, is that it is allowed to exist at all. Under Japanese copyright law [...] the doujinshi market is an illegal one. Doujinshi are plainly "derivative works." There is no general practice by doujinshi artists of securing the permission of the manga creators. [...]
Yet this illegal market exists and indeed flourishes in Japan, and in the view of many, it is precisely because it exists that Japanese manga flourish.»

My genetic art creations

(randomly taken picture)

Obtained by reiterated mixing of mathematical algorithms, these fashinating vectorial pictures can be generated and printed at the desired size without detail loss. : )

files (skip)

These are the my old softwares, previously hosted on sourceforge. These project are to be considered closed. I leave them here just in case someone really need them for whatever reason.

Remember: due to an idiot policy of this hosting service links to these files will not work unless they're placed in a page of the same hosting service, like this one. This means that you'll be able to download them only from here. (Not my fault.)

pyg styles: why I did never notice it before?

After the nth failure in the CSS management, I watched the specs of the CSS v2.1 and I found something I never noticed before: some of the features I'm currently using (I'm referring to selectors > and +, and to "positioning"/"top"/"left" instructions) are not CSSv1 but 2.
How comes that I never noticed something so important before? :'(
I've always referred to the specs, but..
Anyway this is a proof that CSSv1 are almost useless, except for simple pages with a linear style, and this is not my case.
So I've downloaded the CSSv2.1 specs.
Now I'll need to learn the specs and then go over all the CSS files written so far. And this will require a lot of time! >:'(

some news from the net:

# Someone calls his printer manufacturer to complain about the map of yellow dots his printer adds to each print, and get a visit from Secret Service which are interested in knowing what he has to complain about, having him nothing to hide.
[1] [2] [3] [4]

# micro$oft invents a new thing. They have a request for patent pending, related to a system to merge advertisement into the OS of the computer. They are also ravin-.. talking about users benefits. (?!)
[5] [6]

# The Oxford University search on the net for proofs of compromising behaviours of their students. Isn't what sudents do outside supposed to be their own affairs?
[7] [8] [9]

# FBI installs via email a spyware (CIPAV, Computer and Internet Protocol Address Verifier) on a PC to know who there is behind a myspace account linked to a bomb threat.
How did they activate it? Do they have the key of the backdoor?

For the series "we're done! thanks!"

Yay! The Italian Parliament is now equipped with the latest technologies! Fast like the wind! ("a month in advance compared with the plans"). [1]
"1st parliament of the world covered with wifi".
Coming soon also cryptocellphones at the cost of 999euroz (!?), and also a software change, from Win to Lin! [2]
A wonderful job! Now we are waiting for a wifi net also on the rest of the Italian territory (or at least where DSL is still missing).
Along with the liberalization of 1/3 of the frequencies. :D
... :D
You're going to do it, right? :|
...
Heeey?! :O
Anyone? :/
...
sigh. :'(

ok. Let's console ourselves with the new anti-DRM T-shirts.
Sadly I have enough T-shirts, because these are wonderful! [3]

this copyright sucks #1

An article by Frank Langfitt from the NPR (National Public Radio) site: [1].

It seems that we are going to be hounded also for singing under the shower. >:V

In the meanwhile the Italian wikipedia surrenders to the pressure and decides to remove all the snapshots of architecture works of our country. Obviously because the copyright holders are not happy of this! [2] [3]
Many compliments to the "Soprintendenza per il Polo Museale fiorentino" (I dunno how to translate it: it's something like "supervisors for the museum pole of Florence").
