If you logged in during these days, you probably noticed that the site went crazy (like confused pages and so on…). Anyway, now most of the updates are finally done.
With Mozilla Firefox the visualization is perfect, I’m trying to optimize everything also for Internet Explorer, but there is still some difect that I will solve as soon as possible.
As you surely noticed, I modified the template ( even if Rollino strongly disagreed). The main page is in black and white so that the pictures and videos (especially the ones of the paintings) are less affected by the influence of the background. If you look well at the bottom of the page, it comes out directly from my OLIVETTI M40 ( who complained offline about the little visibility of the site). To visualize better the font of the typewriter you have to install Lettera32 (download it here and save directly in the folder C:\WINDOWS\Fonts). Concerning the sidebar on your right i tried to make it look more technological and full functional.

OLIVETTI M40: Not to say that Rollino was right, but it seems to me that the technological sidebar and the main page as a piece of paper make a bit of contrast!
Ok, it’s true, but that’s what I really meant to do. The contrast makes the charachteristic of things stand out even more, making them immediate, usable and understandable, raising as a fact our perceptions. I have to say that I always liked contrasts!Fuse the “unfusable”, find a point which makes in contact opposite concepts! You, as a 40′s typewriter provided of a monitor LCD, Internet connection and several technological modifications, are an example!
OLIVETTI M40: Therefore you like me!I noticed that you were touching my keys in a weird way…help!!!!
If I have to, I would say instead, that it’s you that, thinking “maliciously”, overheat each time that I write a post…
OLIVETTI M40: Helppppp!!!!!!Do you think this is the way to talk to an old typewriter? You deserved to be beaten up, pervert!
First of all I was not beaten up and secondly let’s stop saying bullshits. Therefore, I was saying that there are always contrasts, it’s us that don’t realize it because our senses have a limit which permits us to perceive simply a “standard”!Let’s put the case of mixing black and white glass beads. If these beads are smaller than our limit of eyesight, we will see grey, therefore between the two colours!
OLIVETTI M40:Ah, I understand, it’s the priciple used by “punctualists”!

Always remember, though, that this is an approximation. The “standard”, if used in an inappropiate way, is dangerous! For example the citizens of a rich nation (so with a high GDP) have an income per capita (PPP). Now I don’t understand how this value which does not take count on how this wealth was distributed, is generally taken as index of wealth of a nation!
OLIVETTI M40: dfnisdguosdgbu drghbtdhxxswxnw x wq wxqww xwec
Mhh, the typewriter is going mad…we will talk another time about the concept of “contrast” and of “media”.
Anyway going back to our sidebar, I added:
a chat in which you can write messages or things not about the posts,
The feed and l’RSS that you can follow,
the connection to Technorati,
the “cloud” of the categories,
posts and recent comments…
The bloroll (which is the list of all the interesting links) was moved to the page”a bit of links…“.

The other modifications cannot be seen, but they are needed for the functioning of a good site or for a better index or visibility (ex. twitter). I went a bit crazy to make all of this…
OLIVETTI M40: crazy like him?..

OLIVETTI M40: Or like him that, since the printer was not working correctly, decides to print directly the screen of the monitor!!

Yes, more or less, but without the white shirt and tie. I found excellent advices in the blog of Andrea Beggi though. After, you might think it’s strange, but some tips on how to do the things arrived directly from Jesus.
Now it’s time to leave you before that everything blends. See you soon. Gabriele

Quick communication: sometimes I update posts, I modify them, it depends on what comes into my mind. Therefore, if you have time, go around through the old posts as well. For example, today I added some pictures and TWO videos at post of “across…”of some days ago.

Bye everyone. Gabriele

Well, finally I have my personal blog. It has been a long time that I wanted to realize it, but the work in the laboratory and the insufficient technical competences on the planning of sites did not allow me to make it.
In order to begin I greet all the other blogs of friends. You can found them in the sidebar under “…some link”. A little higher, I have inserted great part of my works with a short presentation. Positive, negative, critical, sarcastic, insulting, magnifier comments…. councils, reflections, proposals… in Italian, in English, in strict “leccese” , in Greek, also ancient… are welcome! In short you can put all that comes in your mind in whichever way you want! You can also sign yourselves, and if you have particular competences (for example in artistic or philosophical field…), you can introduce them as much as you like. This is not to label anyone that leaves a comment, but just to give more “shape” to a simple nick, name or last name.

Thanks in particular to my old modified OLIVETTI M40 which without it now I could not interface with Internet. However, it has some defects. Although all the expansive technological modifications that I have made in order to keep the step with time, it overheates itself too much and when it exceeds eighty degrees, not only the keys start burning and emanating the characteristical rancid smell of warm metal, but the circuit protection activates itself and the machine turns off in order to avoid damages. Now that it’s summer, I even had to shoot over it a fan at full speed in order to write these pages. Besides, the machine acquired the ability to think and to write independently. I don’t know if it is a secondary effect of the warmth that causes strange contacts on the inner circuits. But the shocking thing is that the thoughts that it expresses have absolutely full sense.
Oh, the machine has overheated too much, i cannot risk to fuse it. You can find the information for direct contacts in the page “contacts”. Ok, maybe this was obvious. For the moment this is all. See you soon.
