At the beginning I checked without logging in, and I got a nice price (€251.00). Then I logged in with my miles & more account and I got an higher price (€327.00). I made some checks, and what I've understood is that the [...]

A super drawing you can always reuse (to gain points with your boss): A joke I draw on a white board corner of a huge and impressive drawing. Unluckily there was only the red pen: multiple color charts are the key for the success in software architectures! (infact, I never seen a chart that doesn't [...]
Yesterday we had a business meeting in London. We flew there and we had the chance to walk through the city and enjoy the nightlife. In my previous visits to London I never appreciated the city very much: too noisy, to rainy, too expensive, too much people wearing formal. Sometime you can feel like being [...]
I bought a Sony PSP during last winter, and I am very happy of that. The videgames are amazing, I didn’t imagine that there were games so impressive on a so little machine. In particular I appreciated Ridge Racer, Final Fantasy the war of the Lions, God of War: Chains of Olympus, and many more. [...]
