Thousands of readers can be wrong

A Dreamer, a Photographer, a Musician, a Webdesigner... sometimes a Java coder too: I am Niccolò Favari and this blog is about New Media, Creativity, Business, Communication, Entrepreneurship and lots more. Boring stuff indeed, because I am a very boring dude.

Well, what's the point? I have no point. I just keep writing. And it feels good.

June 22, 2008 – 5:39 pm

I’ve been working on this new theme (the one you see right now on this blog) for a week. It’s not finished yet as you can see unstyled comment forms, unstyled links and unstyled single pages…

So today I found these two interesting blog posts, one on Dumb Little Man and the other on ZenHabits.

Joined Twitter

April 20, 2008 – 7:59 pm

Yes I did it. I joined twitter. Unfortunately I cannot receive SMS from Italy and it seems I’m not able to send messages too. I’ll have to stick with gTalk or the web interface.
Probably I’ll put a twitter updates widget into my weblog too. Totally useless but I like it.

iTunes Alternative

March 24, 2008 – 12:57 pm

Listening to your favorite music shouldn’t be a resource draining activity. For instance I listen to the music while I do Java development with a virtual machine running Eclipse. I just can’t waste memory nor cpu.
iTunes got bigger and bigger. Loading times and performances are not among his best features so I searched the web [...]

Finally we’ll see a fresh new book from Apress written by David Golding.

Beginning CakePHP: From Novice to Professional is the brand new book about this fabulous framework. Finally a great addition to the not-so user friendly documentation.
