=======================================================

Actually, this is my first (serious) attempt at making something people would call a homepage (eech). My de-facto homepage to date was the homepage of the pentium compiler group, which simply means I didn't have one, and that I had to develop my html skills elsewhere. In the long run, that proved not to be very personal, and even worse, I couldn't publish any software that I wrote (and will write).

BTW, 99.9% of all homepages are a burden to the network, nothing else... just uninteresting graveyards of links.. in short: crap (compare this to usenet, where the situation is even worse). By far most of the crap comes from Wintel users, for which Netiquette clearly is something they never heard of...

I'm trying (yes, not very hard) to offer something original and interesting here, although "documentation" was never my profession (but I hope to change this drastically, soon!), and time is nothing I have to give away for free... So better go directly to the Projects section, and maybe even contribute!

You can also choose to get an insight on how I made this homepage (including the design rationale, why I haven't used layers nor frames nor other crap etc...). While the gfx and other stuff isn't really bells and whistles, the remarkable point about these pages is that almost everything here is automatically generated. Just go to the Background section, to learn how.

Something About Me

NEW! All the cites can now be downloaded as a fortune file: I'm collecting parts of mail and news messages. Some of them are very funny, some of them are less so, but usually all of them give (or gave) me a smile. This might tell you something about me. Then, maybe not..

I lost track of the authors (actually I was too lazy to dig them out), if you are one of them drop me a note and I'll add you.

For easier skipping, citations containing german are marked in green

Alternatively you could set your nose hair on fire, which will also be
painful but will take less typing.

Well, I think comparing Common Lisp to Scheme is prima facie evidence
of ill will, even if Common Lisp wins. It is somewhat like a supposed
compliment like "man, you are even smarter than George W. Bush".

The legal restriction that people must not enter your house uninvited
by smashing the door adds to your freedom, don't you think so?

The idea that governments have rights is absurd. People have rights. The
people have delegated certain tasks to government for their own
convenience, and have accepted limits on some minimal subset of their
rights so that society can best protect the rest. Note that "society" is
not the same as "the government"; the government is just a mechanism used
by society to accomplish certain specific things.

Names are important. In fact, naming is often _more_ important than the
implementation is. And that means that the implementation should follow
the naming, or the implementation is wrong.

[on italy]

    @youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
    majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
    wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
    only politicized, but also spectacularized.

    Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
    corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
    by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
    funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
    suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
    on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)

    http://www.report.rai.it/R2_popup_articolofoglia/0,7246,243%255E90082,00.html

    Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
    during WWII by fascism and signed by the king.  We're a Republic since
    1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
    from fascism period.

    We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
    cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
    them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
    author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
    song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
    created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
    royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
    they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
    SIAE.

    We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
    code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
    you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
    elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
    explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
    explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing
    your petition (and you need at least 500, and with a REAL signs, not
    electronic ones

#25. fallingstones - 08-10 03:52

    Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
    don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
    (on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
    CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
    based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
    western country.

    I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
    very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
    but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
    elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
    deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
    Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved
    laws against freedom on internet, and generally against technology
    innovations. For these reason, all the last governments are fascists,
    also the governments of "center-left".

    Again, sorry you and all for my bad English. I hope you can understand.

    If I can, I suggest Brokep creating a guide for using TOR, a little
    great program (and it's free) for surfing the net anonymously and
    without any restriction.

    Brokep and all TPB staff, go forward forever. You're my personal myth,
    and the hope that good people using brain like you exists into the
    world.

    Long life to the Bay, forever.
    Sorry for the long message and sorry if I'm using TOR, I hope you understand.
    Thank you for reading.
