Appunti Universitari was just updated.
I also updated the Links page, adding links to some RSS feeds. If you have a website, you should really consider publishing a feed, in my opinion ;)

Last exam this morning! After a loooong july I’m finally free. More on this topic soon.
Now I’m going to collapse somewhere… g’night…

What I said yesterday wasn’t exactly true. Yes, I’m not too worried by these last exams (just want it to end ;)), but it still seems I can’t take a low grade…
Mind you, when I say low I mean low taking into account what I expected, hoped and the time I spent studying.
The fact that these grades seemed to entail a high degree of randomness isn’t helping, either.
I will get through it eventually but, for now and as usual, I’m just a little pissed off :|

Yeah, I know, i forgot to update the counter… it jumped from -7 to -2 :P
Tomorrow’s exam is quite atypical for an engineer; it involves a lot of memorizing and you know I’m not too good ad it ;)
However, I’m starting to feel the urge to end my exams and relax for a little… not too strange, considering I’m still here studying after 25TH OF JULY!
This sort of summer laziness is helping me worry less than usual, however. As long as it doesn’t affect my performances (not so likely ;)) it’s almost welcome. You’ll notice this by the lack of negative smilies in this post :P Unbelievable! :o

OMG! It won’t go away!

And goes on and on and on and on…

”Car maker Honda introduced their new car “Fitta” in the Nordic countries during 2001, only to find out that “fitta” is an old word, currently used in vulgar language to refer to a woman’s genitals in Swedish, Norwegian and Danish. It was renamed to “Honda Jazz” for the Nordic market.
According to newspaper articles, Japanese ads said that “[Fitta] is small on the outside, but large on the inside”. It’s now called the Honda Fit in Japanese markets.”

La Repubblica.it was featuring an article on the upcoming Windows Longhorn some days ago. My guess is the article was written by a 5 year old child… anyway, here’s an interesting analysis of the article (in Italian).
It’s long but it’s worth reading ;)

SELECT DISTINCT *

WHERE magro AND NOT barba
AND nome IS IN (
SELECT DISTINCT nome

WHERE templare OR novizio)

:D

This world is screwed up. Real badly.

Anyway, I think we need to know more before saying something about it.
