yo! that's been quite a while since i had time (and will) to post!
in the meantime my Mac has finally arrived and I already had time to play with it a little!
Actually I had some problems with it at first because i got a defective iMac, the ones with random screen freezes, and i had some troubles to install the fix (basically i didn't know how)
However after a completely new format and reinstall like the WW (tm) that is the "Windows Way (tm)" everything run swiftly!
So now, after i've played with some of the new functionalities of Leopard i really liked the QuickLook function! It may seem useless at first but after you come to use it you really find it necessary! and one of its main feature is the plugin expandability (plain html)
however i noted that no site was fetching the plugins developed and that files were just scattered on the web! So what shall we do? here:
http://quicklook.altervista.org
yep, that a site, coherently made with iWeb :D
I chose the template since for now they are very few (only 5 were listed) but i plan to use mysql and other stuff to make it more interactive along with the number of plugins available!
This post title is "the first project" because it's an original intent for Project Symphony: a collection of eterogenous works that cohexist like in a symphony!

Integral and differential operations over multiple variables
Wow that's quite a post title, isn't it?
Well the content of what I'm going to show is none the less!
http://www.scribd.com/doc/340006/Calcolo-Differenziale-ed-Integrale-in-piu-variabili
My dear Alberto Tibaldi has provided his wonderful collection of notes of a course of Mathematics!
In particular, this essay regards (as the title says) integral and differential operations over multiple variables with lots of demonstrations and examples.
As usal everything edited with LaTeX. Great job Tibia!

Always sync your RAID, but don't forget BACKUP
Welcome Back!
Yes I finally returned active after a bit of happenings that occurred me!
As I returned from the holidays I wasn't at all greeted by my pc since Windows decided that 65536 colours were too much for me and believed I just needed 4.
Also my Nec 1760VM LCD monitor presented his letter of resignation since it's getting old (5 years) and now it needs some time after receiving a video signal to warm up.
My linux partition was the only one happy to see me! Thanks Beryl!!!
Anyway just some days ago an horrible accident happened, as i removed one hd cable while cleaning the inside of the case, and that drive was part of a RAID 5 device. I put off resyncing with the other discs but after one or two reboots also another drive was out of sync and the controller (an Adaptec 2810) couldn't activate the raid any more!
In a nutshell, a 750GB drive failure!
I recovered a couple of files from part of the drives with R-Studio and File Scavenger but there was nothing to do since they couldn't detect where a stripe ended and another started! In fact i was able to restore just very small files not bigger than the stripe size!
Luckily I have a disc backup of my short movies, I published online my thesis and my best pics are on deviantArt; so there weren't too many "impossible" files, except for 2 unpublished ads I liked and captured (and which I SHOULD have uploaded to youtube, argh) and some captured videos i don't know if I still have on tape...
The lesson is: even if you have a RAID array of infinite disk with multiple redundancy or with an anti-voodoo course, always do BACKUP. In fact I was caught off guard because i tought that my raid would never let me down, and so i skipped doing backups!
Trying to look on the bright side, now that all my documents are gone, I don't have any .doc or .xls files! So i don't need m$ Office anymore (very nice thing since it appears that Excel 2007 is not able of calculating 850*77.1) and so i can freely use OpenOffice and Latex for my documents :)

So long...
Well, it has been a long year and I must say i quite enjoyed myself!
I learnt lots of interesting subjects, deepened my yet small Linux knowledge and also started this blog (which is starting to receive some comments! :o )
Now though i need some vaction at the seaside!!! Since i deliberately won't have internet access (let's say i need some deintoxicating) for a few months it is very unlikely that this blog will be updated!
don't fear! I'm leaving you with something to read in the meantime! the webcomics i read!
Slightly Damned - One of the best! It's the story of a jakkai who is sent to the hell, but she's not evil enough and thus she's only slyghtly damned; so she's put in a sort of limbo where encounter an unlikely daemon, Buwaro! Together they manage to escape from hell and as soon as they put foot on earth they have to save an angel... very funny story and witty humor! I love the artstile very much! -> link
Dragon Tails - group of dragons in our mother time! It has a very funny comic strips! Nowadays it's moved to dealing with rpgs, done in completely new 3D artwork. -> link
VG Cats - does this really need a presentation? very nice parodies from the world of videogames! -> link
Ace of Abra - story of a pokemon trainer which is sent here and there to battle with his friend! Not at all bad, since it adds something to the anime it's lacking of... MATURITY! go and check yourself :o) -> link
F@nboy$ - again from the world of videogames, a fanboy for each platform! not the best for drawings but very nice strips all the same! -> link
Kevin & Kell - one of the oooldest DAYLY webcomic still running! very interesting characters and even difficult topics treated always with humor. -> link
obviously i read some other comics but i believe that for now you have some material to look at :P maybe in the future we'll complete this list, ok?
So happy holidays to everyone :)
