"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." (Robert A. Heinlein)

My Machines …

Sempron2400

(Windows, Ubuntu 9.04)

It’s actually my main desktop computer, I mainly use it for editing home videos and burning them on DVD.

 

 

PIII550

(Linux Ubuntu 8.04)

I bought this little old computer on a computer surplus fair at only 25€. I use it mostly for my “server side” linux experiments.

 

 

EEEPC900

(Linux EEEBuntu)

I bought it only recently, It’s the first really portable laptop I have. I use it for reading e-books, scratch-pad programming, watching videos and a little of gaming too.

Hello world!

Here I am, at last, my first post …

After wrestling with my own indecision about choosing the right style, pictures and colours. After writing copying a suitable disclaimer I have no more excuses for not to start writing my first post.

 I’m going to write, in this blog, about my personal programming experiments: I’m 40 but I’m still studing, and learning, everyday. Not surprising if you think how many frameworks, libraries and programming tools are published on the net nowdays.

 What else? Hello world!

public class HelloWorld {     

    public static void main(String[] args)     {         
         System.out.println(“Hello World!”);
    }
}

 P.S.

If you are interested in posting java code bits in your blog have a look at Java2Html.
