Don't you know it's Xmas time ?

As long as Xmas comes closer, I think a very few people still
remembers what, also for a non religious person, Xmas should
represent: a period for us to think over ourself, our overall
behaviour during last year, our choices, our achievements and our
worst mistakes.

I want neither to give you advices nor to teach you any stupid moral lesson.
Rather, I would like to apologize with you for everything bad I've
done this year.
Sometimes I misbehaved and sometimes I liked to misbehave.
On the other hand, you know, it's not easy to be ourself, isn't it ?

I can't promise you anything but this: I will keep on trying to be
better, whatever 'better' could mean.

Now, my last words for you today, my dear friends, are to wish you
have a merry xmas or, at any rate, a very good holydays.

Thank you everybody and see you next year.

Are we going really to get a cold winter ?

I don't know but I like to talk about weather !
What's wrong in talking about weather ?
After reading newspaper, collecting always sad news and thinking again
on your TODO list, why not to look up to the sky (in the few days when
there are no clouds in Milan) and say "What a good day " ! (at least
for what concerns weather, of course).

Happy XMas.

Today I've been learning and working on Ant, JBoss, EJB 3.0, and JMS.
They all taste great.
I can't wait to start on coding an Hibernate's persistence example.

I'm in a learning hurry ! :)

I'm in some troubles these days.

They are quite sweet troubles but I'm worried about they could become
very hard issues.
Of course, I hope they will not.

However, current one is the last week before Xmas vacancies and I've
yet started to miss
my guitar...

By the way, an office party has been scheduled for next Thursday !

No snow as by now.

Bye !

This last was a wonderful week-end, filled up with emotions and feelings.
I do not care anymore about the gloomy sky. There are some places here
in Milan that are surprisingly really cute.
An evening walk in Sempione park, right after you passed through the
Sforzesco is absolutely enjoyable.

I saw people skating on an ice rink right in front of the castle !

Saturday night was simply delightful.

Unfortunately, it seems the sysadmin guys have blocked the MSN port,
so I'm not more able to talk with my friends while I'm at work.
That's too bad !

Besides, Skype is still usable but I don't like it, because it is not
standard and it uses QT too ! So I'm not going to install it on my
Gentoo, definitely.

See you some other ways... e.g. I've an VoIP h323 client (Ekiga).

Bye !

Weather's starting to get colder these days as Christmas get closer.

To say the truth, Milan is not so bad after all, once you get
accustomed to smoky air, crowded metro and traffic jams.

I hope I will have some spare time to visit some major city's places.

I definitely must go to a gym, a quite cheap one though...

There is a shimmering Christmas tree in Duomo's square and another
Swarowsky-sponsored sparkling one beneath Vittorio Emanuele's gallery.

The night was quite cold. Not the same were my thoughts.

By the way, it's Christmas time and I don't have any idea about what
to buy and give as gifts.

That's a problem, as always ! :)

I've misbehaved during the last week-end. To some extent, I could
blame the flue, but it wouldn't be very honest of me. The truth is
that I really didn't be at my best recently. I don't like this
situation and I'm trying to get out of this hassle. As the re-born
"Take That" says, have a little patience...
