What the Hell is This?

December 3rd, 2006 by Albegor

If you got here on my blog for the first time thanks to the flier I gave out during these days that means it worked! :idea:
It made so curious whoever noticed it to get him on the Internet to have a look at what it was really about.
The graphics of the flier is the result of the suggestions of some friends and it ties up the three elements composing my logo with the arguments the blog is about: the stylized hand inspired by the painting of the Creation by Michelangelo visible on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel represents my passion for creativity in all its forms, the arrow has the shape of the Lake of Como since I like writing about arguments relating to my town and the CD has a series of abbreviations the informatics technology is full of and which often make the users’ life a mess instead of simplifying it. For this reason the names of the Donald Duck’s nephews, Qui, Quo and Qua, help me out to put some irony about the technology paradox. ;)
Finally I can leave the obsolete structure of the old blog and start using the new one thanks to the WordPress platform made in PHP, powerful and flexible at the same time.
Thanks to the Gengo plug-in for example I can write my posts both in Italian and in English and the the user automatically view them according his browser’s language setting. You can read the posts in the other language by clicking on the link on the right panel listing the recent posts.
Not to mention the organization of the numerous post in categories, six for now: Como, Euro coins, Mobile, Net-Taylor, Personal, Software and Vespatour 2006, or even the possibility to browse the whole archive containing 240 posts, month by month, up to the first one I wrote on July 16, 2003, or searching for a specific word inside the whole blog content.
Last but not least is the chance to leave your comment. Finally you can keep in check my bad tongue whenever I really go over the line! :oops:
Or simply you can have your say about an argument interesting for you. Discussion is the salt of communication for we human beings, even if we’re all a bit stunned by too much TV, mobile phones or even the Internet itself. ;)
There’s still some work to be done to complete the graphics of the theme and new pages to add, but it’s a bit like moving into a new home after all: a thing at a time it’s even funnier.
Thanks for your visit! I hope you’ll get back here because you like the blog’s content and not only the container, WordPress, which is really useful and makes the blog user friendly.
To do that you could keep in mind the address - but it’s proven, it doesn’t work well with human beings -, or you can subscribe to the updates notification service. You can also use the RSS feed and I’ll wrote more about this soon.
I’ve already got about ten sparkling post drafts to publish in the next days… Brrr…let’s shudder together!*

    You’re totally right, no news about ECPC for some time.
    But don’t worry I’m working on it behind the scenes.
    Did you notice the beta of the desktop version? ;)

    *A nice logo
    *A new website
    *The multiplatform version

    I invested in this more than I earned by selling the software so far. There’s a lot of work behind the scenes even if it isn’t the most prioritary project at the moment. ;)
