iHarmony 3

Alberto — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 19:48:32 +0000

Here we are again. After a long time I decided to update iHarmony to version 3 with a complete brand new style, better iPad support with split view, database update via web, custom settings available, better playing, bugs and mistakes fixes, and so on… On the App Store for iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad (Universal App).

At the time of writing version 3.0.2 is waiting for review, and also a free version with less contents (and no more iAd banners ) has been submitted to the App Store.

Check out iHarmony web page on this site.

Happy new year musicians!

H-Farm, H-umus and cool fashion models :)

Alberto — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 02:32:45 +0000

My last entry here was a few months ago right after my graduation; since then, I really nevere had time to update my website. It’s good to be busy day after day… btw, it’s time to write some line about something worth writing.

I started working for a startup company in H-Farm, called H-umus. H-Farm is a Venture Incubator with the mission to accelerate the development of Internet startups via a combination of seed investment and incubation services. Some kind of Italian Silicon Valley (1 and 2).

In H-umus we develop iOS applications for the most famous fashion brands in the world like Armani, Diesel, Nike… and this is the reason for the title of the post We are specialized in human interaction. What makes us different is our approach to solution design.

H-Farm is a wonderful place to work at, but you know, what makes things great is the people you work with!

We are a multifaceted team composed of analysts, designers, software engineers, striving together to create innovative solutions that really make the difference.

Well well. I graduated in Computer Science. Master degree. Fuck yeah. I’m so happy I can’t tell. Now it’s time for a lot of new stuff. 7 days of “~~relax~~” and then H-umus is the next working step. Here are some pics of yesterday

I’m alive, just some news

It’s been a while I don’t write here. I’ve been very, very, very… busy during the last few months. I’ve been concentrated on my master degree thesis, on a great project for H-umus (an iPad application for a famous fashion brand) and on an extremely cool and social project started with 3 friends and college mates. It’s called Qwo… shhhh can’t say anything about that yet.
So… stay tuned for forthcoming news about cool stuff

iHarmony 2.1 update

Alberto — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 13:42:55 +0000

A “minor” update for iHarmony is now available. Now the app is developed with Appcelerator Titanium. Harmonizations can now be played, anglo-saxon, italian, german and french notation, time between notes can be changed, 8va is now played and some UI improvements. Thanks to The Hierophant for the gorgeous and immediate review on USA iTunes Store

Next version will handle quiz, search entries, share on social networks, and a brand new look.
Hope to have a better iPad support too

Me having a talk about “Cross platform mobile development” @ pip11 programmersinpadua.it, 21st January 2011 (video 1/2).

Programmers in Padua

Alberto — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 11:38:00 +0000

This is definitely a great, clever, honorable, remarkable and enjoyable idea.
Some weeks ago Diego Giorgini, alias @ogeidix, talked to me about this thing: computer science talks in Padua, just for sharing knowledge on different topics and for meeting other computer science students/professionists.

Love this idea. January 21th 2010, I’ll have a talk about “Cross platform mobile development“.

Drawing conclusions for 2010 & good intentions for 2011

Alberto — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 14:12:10 +0000

New year’s eve. Here we are. A year is not so long, are just 365 days that fly away really quickly. Thinking about the past year, at the beginning of 2010 I promised to myself I wish I would to do a lot of things, and actually I’ve done almost all of those. I concluded the following stuff:

Done a lot of iOS apps: iHarmony 2.0, SpeakTweet!, iURM, iSteve, iFreddie
Finished all my college exams (Computability (!), Concurrent and Distributed Systems (!!), Metodi e Modelli per l’Ottimizzazione Combinatoria, Bioinformatica)
Restyled and filled my personal site
Improved social relationships with people who matter
Improved social network knowledge and presence on it
Travels: Paris, Copenhagen, Alicante (twice)
Stop playing music and stop wasting time with live concerts

For the next year I definitely want to:

Write my master degree thesis and graduate
Find a great job that requires my studies knowledge and stimulates my interests
Develop and conclude the great project that me and my college mates have recently started
Study some new important languages (Ruby, Python seriously…)
Improve my knowledge about Web Site Optimizations, SEO and Web Analysis
Develop something for Android market
Improve my English (and maybe start over with Japanese…)
Study some Finance basics
Watch more good movies
Study photography
Become a master with PhotoShop

…mmm… yep, I think it’s enough. <2011>
