I'm something like this (perfect match in winter)

Disclaimer

Once I had this talk with a friend of mine:
- "Hei granpa, I've visited your university home page... the upper right links are almost all grayed out! it looks like you have no life, no projects, no papers! do you?"
- "Well, I've tons of cool stuff about me to put online! Simply I've not yet found the time to write them down in my cool-styled html! ;)"
- "Are you sure, dandy?"
- "Uhm... yes... well, at least I used to believe so..."
- "Ok ok dude, I trust you... but then put at least a note saying that!"

Who am I to ignore such-a-friend's advice?

As everyone else I do have a life (certainaly not like mr. Hefner's, but I've had my perfect moments and my Big Wednesday), I got tons of unfinished or only-planned projects (including the philantropical objective of freeing humanity from perl, finishing my language and my operating system, writing a better-than-pes soccer game and of course, being the merciless dictator of world) and lots of photos of places all around the world I've seen with my own eyes (and glasses), I pay my dues to this university for hosting this few Ks page by writing papers for conferences and journals (and the only latex I like is the one girls dress) and sometimes I even find some spare time to do research on Haptics and Virtual Reality. However, being a lazy programmer, this web site has been properly designed, but never fully implemented...
