Happy Birthday to Me :)

30 years ago, exactly at this moment, a little boy called Stefano was born... Happy Birthday little boy!

Ops... I've rounded my age today!

Little alert for who is searching for Gmail invitations here..

I'm receiving a big quantities of requests for Gmail invitations as feedbacks on my old posts about Gmail and many people posts lots of messages with their mail adresses in clear text.

I don't want to be a great spam source for email addresses retrieval, so I've taken a decision: from today I'll remove every Gmail related requests that I'll receive on this blog.

I'm sorry for this decision but it's a necessity now!

Hard decision... :(

I was thinking to this for a lot of months and today I've decided that the time is coming...  I've decided to host my Blog by myself.

The reason are mainly two:

  • I want my Blog on my personal server and I want the possibility to customize it as I want and to integrate it on my site.
  • DotNetJunkies Blog platform is old and suffer of problems that I've signalled for a lot of time.

I love the DNJ community so my Blog presence here is not definitely dead, but I'll post less here. I know that this choice has some bad side effects (the main is the Blog visibility and so the number of comments) but I hope that some of my visitors will come to see what I've to say also on the new place.

So, the new URL to bookmark for who is interested to my Blog is this:

http://www.demiliani.com/blog

I hope to see you soon on the new site! Thanks...

2005 and Windows "Amarcord"

Today a friend has pointed me to a curios thing... 2005 will be a special year for all Windows users and fans. Longhorn release? Media Center 2005? A new release for Windows Server 2003? No, nothing of this...

2005 will be an important date because it's the anniversary of 20 Years of Microsoft Windows 1.0.

 

Do you remember it?

The New Year is started...

Just come back from my 3 days of holiday and tomorrow morning will be my first day of work in the 2005...

I'm happy to have seen that here in Italy all the parties for the beginning of the New Year was devoted to retrieve donations to help Tsunami Victims. The idea to donate 1 euros with an SMS launched by the 4 Italian Mobile operators is a success and now I hope that all the donations retrieved will arrive at the correct destination soon.

Don't stop donations... all together we can do something for these people.
