So we are at the end of the year and as usual it’s time to sum up what’s happened in the past 12 months and to make new wishes for the incoming future.
Lots of things happened since the last update to my blog. I’ve been busy working on new software projects for the so called vertical markets, which relegated the work on the new version of Ecpc to a little niche of my spare time, but I couldn’t be more glad closing this year by mentioning that Ecpc was a finalist in the Best Software Awards 2005, the annual competition of the american Smartphone and Pocket PC Magazine.
After another award prizing the quality of my software, I’d like to end this year with a thought as much simple as true at the same time, inspired by a conversation I had with a wise old woman who’s directly involved in the work on one of my software projects: we’re going too fast!
Hers was a consideration about the frenzyness of modern life compared to how things went at her times in Como, our town.
I often think about it when I’m not be able to keep up with my emails or reading all my favourite newsletters. Sometimes I think to be suffering from the so called information overload.
With this little pearl of ancient wisdom I wish you a happy celebration of the New Year!
May you enjoy it from the beginning to the end, but without hurry!
