I decided to add a rather demanding additional requirement to my blogging activities: I added multiple language support. From now on, posts will also be available in Italian, by selecting the proper option on the top-right corner of the page.
I will not post only when both translations are available. Instead, I will continue blogging in [...]
Dear all,
in August 2007 I started this blog with the classic Hello World post. Today, in April 2010, what started as a simple just-for-fun experiment has become an active part of my life and curriculum. This post marks my 100th post, with an average of slightly more than 3 posts per month.
During this time, the [...]

I had to ban Microsoft’s subnet due to Bing bots constant hammering with generic terms as a referral. This skews my statistics, and shifts relevant referral queries out of the list provided by CyStats, something very annoying for me, as I use referrals queries to get ideas for posts. See other cases of people complaining [...]

I decided to restyle the blog a bit. Images and design are from the following websites and people, which I gratefully thank

Book image in the Bookshelf: openclipart public domain image from msgloan.
Theme Mix by Jauhari Nurudin from Sandbox competition
The restyling is not done yet. [...]

Upgraded succesfully to latest Wordpress 2.7.1.
Nice new interface indeed. I will add OpenID logins as soon as I am able to, as usual.

I want to integrate OpenID with the blog, but apparently my current Wordpress version is not supported by the plugin. I therefore decided to upgrade to the most recent version. This means that some hiccups could happen during the weekend. I hope everything rolls fine, as I did quite a bit of customization on this [...]

I added Twitter to the blog. It’s a nice toy, and I want to see if it’s actually useful. For brief reports on my status, it seems like a nice thing, and I am having fun using the cellphone to update it.

I am cooking a lot of stuff in the pot. Soon I will post about all of them, one after another, but I prefer to post about new things when they are ready and officially out. So, stay tuned, because there’s really a lot of good stuff.

I upgraded wordpress to 2.2.3. There are many attempts to exploit vulnerabilities of previous versions in my logs, so I preferred to stay up-to-date as much as I can on the 2.2 line. If any weird situation jumps out, please let me know.
Of course, Merry Christmas and happy new year to all the (few, for [...]

Wikkawiki is a quite interesting piece of software. It is very minimal but at the same time quite powerful. It is simple to hack, and I’m doing it because:
I would like to have space available in page names, and also free form capitalization, but wikkawiki requires the pages to have CamelCase. This is not useful, [...]
