Finally my place.

I found this great place with two very nice roommates, Lauren and Marc and today is my first day! I’ve been abusing Ben and Mimi’s patience and incredibly generous hospitality enough and, besides, I just love the feeling that this is a place I can call mine. But they didn’t have wireless, so today I went to RadioShack and bought a LinkSys wireless router for 70$! Wow, these things are so cheap now. The installation was litterally plug and play, way cool. But then I had to search for a name for the network (since the default ‘linksys’ kinda sucks) and I remembered about the Internet Anagram Server came up with “ornamental surface” which is the anagram of Lauren, Marc and Stefano. Isn’t that cool or what?

I know, I know, lame posting today… but I had to try the wireless from all around the house and APGrapher kicks major ass about that. One day, in my copious spare time, I’ll learn how to program Cocoa in Objective-C and the fancy mach-o stuff and I’ll write a wireless grapher that speaks to you, so you can keep your laptop in the remote corner of the house and move around the access point while your computer on the other side of the house says “cold, cold, a little warmer, cold again, ah freezing” and so on while adjust it. Add it to the todo list.

I’m home alone because Lauren is performing this afternoon with her choir. Carl Orff: Carmina Burana. Guess what: lame as it is, “O Fortuna” is my favorite part. But I couldn’t go because it was sold out (Marc got the ticket in advance).

In the meanwhile, I fixed the bathroom too… probably I shouldn’t spoil those guys too much otherwise they’ll make me do all the little things, but gosh, I’m a geek, what can I do, I just can’t avoid trying to fix stuff.

Ah, “facchino smezzato” is the only two word anagram of my full name that makes any sense. For the non italians, it means “halfed porter”. Considering the area where I now live is called “Porter Square”, I consider it a good sign.

Or, more probably, if you look hard enough you can connect anything to anything else… which means my “it’s all about graph” theory go kinda wild if you think about many layers of ontological reification, but let’s not talk about that today.
