long time no see

Yes, I know. It has been too long since my last update.
I have a whole list of excuses for that but the simple truth is that I've been really busy with some projects of mine and I'd like to speak a bit about them.
First of all I've spent a great deal of time developing a new mobile portal capable of working on Firefox, Opera, iPhone, nokia n958gb... basically wherever Microsoft is not involved.
You can test it right here:
http://skandy.altervista.org

It's ads completely free, quick to use, practical, italian speakers oriented and naturally is special. It contains a small portion of the best of internet as I see it and I'd say my sight is well trained.

The second project is... I'm a switcher! You heard it right: I moved to Mac as I'm now a proud owner of a shiny new MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo Penryn. I've been using Windows for quite some time (more then a decade) and it's really fantastic to move back to Macintosh after so many years. I've spent the last weeks testing new software and getting in good terms with Leopard, a SO that I simply adore.

The third project is... I'm studying Swedish! Yeah, of course I already knew Swedish, but now I'm going to school every morning to an intensive course and you have no idea how confusing it is to write english now...

The fourth project is... I'm looking for work as mechanical engineering in Sweden. It's not easy, not easy at all for no natives to find job, but I thought it wouldn't be that hard for english speakers. Well.... it's quite complicated but still possible. One need just to know where to knock... and I think lately I finally knocked on the right door.
I'll post news on the matter as soon as I can, since this might interest people interested on moving to Sweden for life. Click Here to Read More......

my last mimose


my last mimose
Originally uploaded by ★skandy-pictures★

This was show last week during a short trip to visit my parents in Liguria, Italy. I got lucky this year because I've had the chance to see this amazing flower springing to life.
There is a very short time window to see mimosa open as it usually flowers for St. Valentine's
Italians like to present their lovers with this flower the 14th of February which explains why this flower disappears completely by the 15th ;)

The moon has a strange aura tonight


The moon has a strange aura tonight
Originally uploaded by ★skandy-pictures★

I went out for a pleasant walk under the moonlight and I couldn't help noticing this phenomenon: the moon was surrounded by a strange round circle, like an aura, and with all my physics education I couldn't come up with a plausible explanation.

Qualcuno ha idea della natura dell'alone? Non è stato facile scattare questa foto: ho dovuto fare molti tentativi perché con una lunga esposizione la luminosissima luna tendeva ad oscurare l'alone. Alla fine ho usato ISO100 e 8 secondi di esposizione; poi ho trattato l'immagine con tecnica HDR (che oramai padroneggio), fliltro NeatImage (per il rumore), conversione in bianco e nero (dando risalto ai colori gialli) e ricolorizzazione dell'immagine con un colore ciano che fa molto cielo notturno, tutto per esaltare al massimo l'alone.
Se qualcuno avesse idea di come fare a risaltare ulteriormente questo alone mi faccia un fischio

Rumour: Nokia N82 8GB

Sembra che Nokia abbia in cantiere una versione 8 GB del suo N82. Dopo N95 ed N81 dunque, è probabile che arrivi sui mercati anche il modello N82 con 8 Gigabyte di memoria. La rumor viene dagli States: scaricando gli aggiornamenti dal Nokia NSeries US Portal (vedi screenshot qui sotto), si trova nelle specifiche la compatibilità con l'inedito N82 8GB ed anche con un Nokia N95 8GB NAM, device anch'esso inedito e destinato al mercato Nord Americano.

Secondo certe voci sembra che l'N82 8GB sia persino dotato di una batteria maggiorata e uno schermo leggermente più largo!
