Happy new year!!!

Merry Christmas to all.

I know that this blog seems dead, but I did not forgot about it. I hope to get new material to post soon.

I am making this quick post to let you know that I made some update to my PGP key. The ID, fingerprint, and main e-mail address are still the same, but I revoked some subkey related to old e-mail addresses and added some subkey to new addresses.

You can find more info on the PGP key page.

Hi all,
as you noticed I haven’t posted news for days … well, the reason is that I have been too occupied with some other stuff in real life.

Now, this yet another hiatus forced me to think what I should do with this web site. Is it worth to keep trying even if I keep ending up in hiatus? Should I close it, accepting my inability to update it daily? Well … no … to both questions.

I want to wish Happy Easter to all you dear reader. I hope you have a nice day.

Happy New Year everbody.

I have not fortgotten you even if I have made no new posts in months. On the last post I claimed that I would have spent “few days” on trying the new expansion of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King; well, as you may guess it is taking me more the few days, but I will be back soon with a review (and many more posts about computers and gadgets).

As you might have noticed, lately I started to write posts about the technical specifications of gadgets (smartphones for the moment). If you are interested on such posts, I created a RSS Feed for you.

Hi all,
I apologize for the past 23 hours downtime.

The problem has been caused by an attempted-but-failed change to the database. Fortunately it has not been difficult to resolve even if the sleep-time and the real-work time slowed down the resolution up until now.

If you posted a comment little earlier, it may have been lost due to the database restore and you have to post it again.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

No, no, don’t worry. This time I have not changed the main link to the feeds, so you don’t have to change it. I simply made more feeds available.

The link you see on the right sidebar, the one you are using now, is serving you all the post I make, either for guides, computer news, and gadget news. Now with the new links that I activated if you can choose to track only the topics you are interested in.

To activate them you have to visit the “RSS Feeds” page and activate the feed you are interested in.

Actually there are just few hot topics available for the moment; if you are interested on some topic that has not a dedicated feed, let me know by leaving a comment and I will activate it.

In order to better manage the deliver of the RSS feeds to your computer’s doorstep I have just made a change to the RSS feeds’ addresses (both the one for the RSS readers and the one for the e-mail subscription).

Unfortunately this means that if you have recently subscribed to my feeds (and it basically means earlier than this very post’s time), you have to unsubscribe from those and re-use the links you find on the sidebar on the right.

The old addresses will still work until the end of the week, but to avoid unforeseen bugs at that end they will be totally disabled.

I apologize for the inconvenience, but as the street work panels state: “We are working for you”.
