Tutorial Sistemi Distribuiti

Entro in classe: "Mr. Barrett is out: take this and do it, you have 1 hour".
Cosi inizio il mio primo tutorial al Trinity College: Sistemi Distribuiti. I ragazzi dovevano produrre un prototipo in java, in maniera concorrente, ergo usando thread, per generare i numeri primi.

Mi siedo sulla cattedra del Lecture Theater 1 del Lloyd Building e inizio a leggere una mail stampata. Dopo 10 minuti un tizio si alza, scende verso di me e mi da la soluzione: inutile commentare il suo approccio. A turno uno ad uno scendono consegnando la loro soluzione. Qualcuno lo ha implementato in c, qualcuno si e' dimenticato di creare i thread, qualcuno si e' dimenticato di lanciarli....che faccio?

News from the other side of the (Sleeve)

The Blue Nowhere di Deaver Jeffery e' finalmente arrivato da amazon.com: peccato che il postino e' venuto a casa ma non c'ero....sono dovuto andarlo a ritirare stamattina a piedi a Dublin 8, e vi lascio immaginare in che stato di sudore sono arrivato in ufficio al TCD.

Finalmente Sophie si e' decisa e adesso inizia a funzionare....thanks al nerd php del TCD che ormai sta diventando nerd Javascript del TCD....ricorda che c'e' una borsa di studio che potrebbe aspettarti....

Oggi il primo allenamento di basket con la prima squadra del TCD....vediamo cosa succedera'.

Finalmente domani arriva il nerd filosofico di CAMBRIDGE...questa volta il nerd php/javascript non ha sbagliato...

Il collega giordano ci ha invitato a casa sua a prendere un the'...?!? niente di particolare ma molto gentile quando ci ha regalato uno di quei cesti natalizi pieni di cianfrusaglie varie e di vino...peccato che lui non possa berlo...

Iniziamo ad ingranare con la palestra, meno birra e piu' bilancieri: questa estate devo spaccare...:-) Io fra un po' me ne torno in Italy...

....per fortuna che c'e' music hall...e per fortuna che vado a farmi fare una mega-tac al cervello....e' una ricerca al TCD....mi danno la foto del mio cervello :-)

Target Reached

The weekend was quite easygoing. Giangus went to Italy and I spent my time up here, between a pub and my flat. Quite weekend and the new week is now reality. I've to improve the quality of these couple of sentences to reach an high standard. Friends are friends but the concept of "friend" is a bit complcated in my opinion. What is a friend? Anyway, Thanks to Mino for having visited me and for having presented me his friend Cosmo, an easygoing-polish nerd. Other people on my way... do i have to trust them?

My mum sent me 500g of pulpy Parmesan, i mean the italian one, you know...a couple of dust-dark-chocolate folders and a new pair of shoes. I love my mum. She sent me ready-ragu as well.. I love my mum. Finally i reacher the target of 2 weeks: Hepy is finally over...He slowly died in our washer and it was a show. I'm going to write a couple of source-code rows in xul+java for a plugin for the famous fox-browser.. Regards to my friend Buccia: the life is a bit strange, don't mind about it and always go on, on your way, your own way..

Coding in real time

Coding in real time: how to write source code in real time, from natural language specifications, to digital source code, using the object oriented paradigm. Is it easy? Not at all! Above all if the natural-language specifications are ordered using instant messagging system (chats), from another State (for istance Dublin TCD). In less than 2 hours I made 1 project from scratch, 1 package, 8 class, using inheritance, poliformism and other object-oriented paradigms.

Am i nerd? No, I'm procedure man, and that's all. Do you know why someone calls me procedure man now?
Not yet? Ok, I can add some information: I'm using, at the same time, 3 programming languages and I'm following 3 projects, I mean projects that require to write source code, because there are several projects in which I'm involved.

In all likelihood I need a pint of Guinness, right now! Could anyone give me one please? Ok, i'm going back to "code": it's time since I don't code in an extreme way, and I like it. So cmon Luca, let's go! Good luck software developer of the world! Any suggestion? Any challenge Dondi? I'm waiting for it....always

LTTM & S. Vittore

Lttm is becoming reality. Its java implementation is going to an end so I can evaluate and compare its result with reality ones. Today is S. Vittore in Varese, it's holiday and this is why I can write this couple of words. I'd rather go outside, there's a sunshine but I must finish this project.

I've to study "automatons and languages" but I will do it in the next weeks. I must study English, even if outside it's better. I must do a lot of things. Fortunately I sleep several hours. Yesterday a friend of mine asked me if I was able to resolve an error in the source code of a php/java/flash site. We stayed 4 hours during the night trying to fix it, but we didn't succeed. It could be a nice thing above all for the great amount of money they offered to me.

Anyway, now I'm here, relaxed and I'm going to write other hundreds of java source code lines. There's a sun but I wanna study English, above all listening in my office at uni, with my laptop and bts.
