How's ajax suppose to be delivered, in a moment where I probably don't want to ramble about javascript, but it's there and a lot of people/companies use it. Moreover (what word is this) it is the language of the web, and as much as its hated, lot of good things are coming in the near future. My job is fun, an entire site which I believe has more Javascript code than server code, a site that given that has grown to have a frontend that is a mess, a site that is completely amazingly explosevely frontend driven, where freaking windows fly around and eat your CPU!
Once this thing is launched I basically need to organize the JS code and create some structure inside this soul. Here's a snippet of Javascript code that i've come to create to help me understand how I need to start building things: (code got delete by rafb.net, fn-js has some good shit). It's pretty fun to wander in this world of prototype inheritance and classes that have no class operator, and basically try and understand every little piece of it.

Hi

Welcome

So basically the government in italy just dropped, new elections about to come. Hopefully the situtation there will become better with the new bright open minded professionals of my generation flourishing. Also I'm going there the 26th of Feb. Next up is some site idea i had in mind for a while, I'm kind of working hard on it and this thing is certainly pushing me to believe more in my shit.

I've fallen in this hole of workaholic environment, which is totally not me. Losing the grip of real things, over more materialistic things. Going back for christmas to my family to see people that i love but still judge by the way they make money over ignorable jobs, and listen to them talk about how they "try and keep their kids away from drugs because they live in a very rich neihbourhood" said by my own aunt. Sometimes i think that everyone is surrounded by a bubble of grief, trapt in a world of ignorance where the only thing that matters is to impress me or someone else, but we really dont give a shit.

And now its like 3 am and I'm already thinking of the job, because the job gets you money, gives you all those fucking goodies you need to make your life more comfortable, because you need the security. I swear to god I'm 1 step close to blow this freaking security. The more i hear the voice in my head saying that "I really dont want to do shit tomorrow, all i want is a cup of coffee a fucking cigarette and I'm good for the day", the more i strive towards the idea that it makes sense. Ive been doing this shit for what, 2 years lived in america now, i've proved my point, making more money than all my friends back in italy combined, learned so much its sick, met nice people, and I'm fucking happy, not satisfied. Whats next, go for more grief? Kill my last brain cell to a fucking coma dream thing?
I'm probably gonna pass, but thanks.

I want to be a lion in the wild, an eagle in the sky, where nothing matters.

I've opened up a code.google.com page for wephp.

Dicevo sul mio ultimo blog come amavo web.py, un web framework per python semplicissimo. Al lavoro non uso python, non perche` non voglio, perche` esiste gente che ancora usa php4 tipo il mio capo (post in italiano ha le sue ragioni). Beh quella gente dovrebbe andare a casa, rinchiudersi in camera e smettere di programmare. Vabbe` in pratica sto ricreando questo bel web.py in PHP, cosi` almeno mi diverto al lavoro invece che ad andare a rubare codice *ovunque* ed usare svariate schifezze come wordpress e zencart. Non sono un programmatore di alto livello, ma conosco le mie cose, e di sicuro scrivere codice pulito e leggibbile mi fa orgoglioso, quindi ecco web.php. Parte in php4, misa` anche php3, solo perche` sono tipo un centinaio di righe scrause, faro` del mio meglio per maturarlo visto che comunque ce n'e` bisogno di una roba del genere nel mondo PHP.

Non mi lamento, certo mi piacerebbe lavorare di piu` con linguaggi come python e fare cose piu` interessanti, ma alla fine sto ancora a scuola e PHP mi sta facendo maturare, anche se lentamente.

Per parlare di altro sono andato a San Francisco per vedere il MotoGP, davvero un'esperienza stupenda, sia le moto che la citta`. Cominciando con la citta`, che dire mi e` sembrato di tornare in Italia con quell'atmosfera mediterranea. La citta` in se e` composta da dislivelli paurosi che ti portano ovunque, dai grattacieli alla collina, fino al Mare. Cosa che mi ha lasciato un po` perplesso e` il tempo, non fa mai caldissimo, mai freddissimo.
Parliamo di moto... stando 2 metri da Valentino e sentire il rombo delle moto che mi entrava nelle orecchie come l'eroina entra nelle vene di un drogato, nulla e dico nulla aveva piu` senso mentre ero li`.

Non ti domandi piu` merdaccie sulla vita: perche` quella tipa non me la da, perche` faccio questo lavoro di merda, perche` sono sempre insoddisfatto. Quando corri in moto sei il padrone ovunque e di chiunque, basta.



Insomma carino come weekend. Confermo comunque che amo di piu` Chicago perche`, una delle citta` piu` moderne al mondo, dato le sue qualita` geografiche e per tutto il resto. Nel prossimo secolo Chicago sara` The SHIT, considerando anche fattori come Global Warming etc, una specie di MECCA della tecnologia.

Ciao,
Luca.

Of course I'm a web developer and I get excited over stupid shit. Web.py is the best thing ever, it has some complications when going to production but once you get over all that it is really simple and straightforward.
Tomorrow is the big day, leaving to San Francisco for the Sunday race.

Dato la mia incredibile passione per moto da corsa mi sto organizzando un viaggetto chicago-california per andare a vedere il MotoGP a Laguna Seca, pista che quasi ricordo a memoria grazie a Gran Turismo. Domani ci sono le prove di Assen, Stoner sembra un computer, fa tutto quello che deve fare e lo fa alla perfezione. Rossi invece ci mette il cuore, anche se pensa troppo alla figa. Per il resto c'è Pedrosa che non ci sta mettendo ne pazzia ne determinazione, e Melandri che non sta facendo un cazzo.
In altre notizie mi tengo occupato, sempre nel mondo della programmazione. Di giorno creo idee, di notte le metto in atto. Tempo fa esisteva Soniq, una piccola interfaccia web per mp3 streaming fatta da deelan in python. Avevo intenzione di riutilizzare quest'idea per qualcosa di più interessante a fini personali, come streaming locale di musica da un computer ad un'altro per riprodurre la tua musica ovunque senza configurazioni troppo complicate.

It's interesting how sometimes writing is a source of expression or maybe relief of something. I don't read nor write that much, I feel like writing words isn't the right form for communication, you can only understand so much and the most important part of it is ignored. It's good to share facts with it, but not emotions. This may come useful to someone who is trying to get a girl through email/chat (my case), it's a very bad idea, you should go talk to her and look her straight in the eyes to tell her what you feel. Of course I don't want to ruin this relationship, so I don't do it, but hey you might be lucky enough to have a chance and in any case trying is better than not trying.
That's what it's all about if you think about it, carpe diem, seize the day, life is too short for most of the bullshit that you are thinking right now, shit like... When should I do laundry? Where should I go buy dinner? Why am I doing this job if I hate it?
Sorry for my lame blog post, I really have nothing better to post.

It's May, finally after a long and cold winter we get to experience the "Chicago gorgeous days". This past month I've been hacking like crazy with Code Igniter, and I've become pretty fluent with MVC structures. I'm also helping Bruno Santos with the art.gnome.org SoC since he's going to be using CI for it.

In other news I'm going insane with IDM and electronic music in general, from artists such as Autechre and Aphex Twin to Boards of Canada and Squarepusher, just amazing beats and rhythms. And I've also left school for this semester, some complications with the teachers, I'll be back next semester hopefully taking it more seriously.
