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

«Else called Simpsons creator Matt Groening’s office to get permission. Groening approved the shot. [...] Groening was happy to have it in the film, but he told Else to contact Gracie Films, the company that produces the program.
Gracie Films was okay with it, too, but they, like Groening, wanted to be careful. So they told Else to contact Fox, Gracie’s parent company. Else called Fox [...]
Then, as Else told me, "two things happened. First we discovered... that Matt Groening doesn’t own his own creation—or at least that someone [at Fox] believes he doesn’t own his own creation." And second, Fox "wanted ten thousand dollars as a licensing fee for us to use this four-point-five seconds of ... entirely unsolicited Simpsons which was in the corner of the shot".

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.)

opentape, mute girls and healt issues

Aug 28th (Thu), 2008 - 17:59 / on: about me

I'm glad to know that some meritorious person(s) has started a project to "open" the muxtape concept [1], changing it into a software which allows to run a virtual mixtape on a personal site/blog.
After all the badluck I went through with muxtape, this should finally allows me to have my little compilation up and working. Let's cross the fingers..
It's not such important, but since it was all ready (sid files are monophonic and I stereophonized them all) it's a shame to waste the effort, isn't it?
However bet wishes to the project, which I hope will do where muxtape failed..
I'll try it as soon as possible.

I recently subscribed to an online meeting/dating service, trying to know some more girls, being my normal social relations very weak, and I discovered something which is right between disappointing and disquieting: the girls I tried to contact don't even try to reply!
(Yep: the site tells you if the person has read your massage. At the present time I'm at level 3, but I'm sure I'll do much better than this! sigh..)
Maybe today this doesn't seem to be such a weird behaviour, yet once in the past I heard about something called courtesy...
And anyway, it's at least curious for those persons subscribing to a service right to meet someone else and once contacted faking being dead!
boh..
(maybe they want me to wrote them 10 times or something.. haha..)
well, at least this way the selection is implied.

Last note: unlike I said previously, my sickness isn't completely gone.
If someone of my dear friends I usually meet only via internet do reads this blog, please spread my word: I apologize for my continued absence, but lately I'm making a very (too) little use of the pc (re-sigh!)..

... and back (with the plugin code!).

Aug 10th (Sun), 2008 - 14:50 / on: my projects

I feel better now. It's still unclear what was the cause of my illness of the past days, but let's hope it's gone once and for all.

Anyway, I played a bit more with the code of that random quotations plugin I wrote for this blog some weeks ago.
I improved it quite a lot and I think its time to upload it here for everyone. : )

Warning: Because of many reasons I'm not planning to implement a way to automatically manage quotations by adding or deleting them directly via blog interface.
This means that to use this plugins it's required that you have at least a bit of PHP and HTML knowledge to understand how to manually add the quotations and perhaps also formatting them.
: /

I'm not sure I understood how script management works in simplephp blog. It's not clear to me if there's a way to automatically install/uninstall the plugins, so I installed mine manually.
I wrote to the author to ask him info about this point, but I'm still waiting a reply. So I decided to provide you, along with the plugin file, also the installing instructions, written according with the same steps I took to install mine.
You can find the same instructions online in this page (English): [1]

And the plugin itself is here: [2]

have fun, and let me know if you used it and found it useful. : )

Said this, I take the chance since we're in the middle of this chinese moment to repeat a foundamental concept:

FREE TIBET!
