Scavenger Hunt mobile

Some friends and collegemates of mine Andrea Graziano and Lorenzo Nesello (lorenzonesello.it) developed a mobile software for Symbian 5th and Symbian^3 edition using Qt framework and GPS technology.
It’s a Scavenger Hunt game. In the video I shot, they are demostrating the app playing around Padua. The project was about the college course “Wireless Networks” kept by Dr. Claudio Palazzi.

What left to say? Remarkable.

Facebook account reactivation :-)

Ok. Time is done. I knew it would happen. I’m coming back to Facebook right now. Exactly 5 days off. Not so much uh? I’ve realized who are the people that matter. Very few. I’m gonna apply some hard privacy rules and break up with even more Facebook contacts.
But I have to go back Kate (…) because of a lot of reasons.
My close friends use it for communicate everyday, and I’m out.
I need to make search on it (it’s almost equal to Google you know) and I’m out.
I wanna do not my own business (i.e. make search about people) and I’m out.
There’s the new profile page (again) and I don’t wanna miss it >.<
These videos made me thought:
60 minutes: Mark Zuckerberg & Facebook, Part 1
60 minutes: Mark Zuckerberg & Facebook, Part 2
Why should I want to stay out of FB? Just to try, now my personal challenge is over.
Ok guys, 5 days off and now I’m back, but deeply changed.

Facebook account deactivation o_O

Hi guys, as you can guess from the title of the article, I’m quitting Facebook!
There are many reasons for doing that. I want to keep in touch with only the important persons in my life via Skype, Twitter etc… and… I think Facebook is becoming a drug! A lot of people is obsessed by Facebook, real addiction, a lot of minutes “wasted” (not necessarily) everyday in front of the monitor.
Maybe I’ll realize in a few days that I really need Facebook because it gives me something more that photos and links. Maybe not. In the first case I’ll be back soon :-)
By the way I just want to stay for an undefined period of time away from The Social Network.
Deactivation in…

See you in another life, brothers!

SpeakTweet! available on the App Store

Finally. Me and my projectmate Nicola Miotto developed a new app for iPhone. It’s a Twitter Client that “reads” your tweet flows! It uses a vocal synth for english language. 3 weeks working and now the app is finally online on the App Store!

SpeakTweet! is a client for Twitter® that brings voice to your Twitter® feeds. Add your account and SpeakTweet! will read your tweets for you. You can interact and post tweets from the application. Great for driving or use when you need to have your hands free. Vocal synthesis is available only for english language (for now).

Happy Apple Boys! :-D w00t

101010 = 42

Today is a great day. A very very very important important day Gaga. 10/10/’10. October 10th 2010.
101010 in binary notation equals to 42 in decimal notation. And we know that 42 is to a computer scientist as shoes are to women. A constant. Check it out at Wikipedia #42

To celebrate this day, I’ve just published under BSD license the source code of iURM, one of the app of mine available on the App Store.
It is now present on a repository on BitBucket GitHub here –> https://github.com/albertodebortoli/iURM

Happy #42 day Developers!

Rubik’s cube solved during Absolute5 summer tour 2009

A brand new video from the past! I solved the Rubik’s cube during the Absolute5 summer tour 2009 in the bus of the band. It was June, and we were about to have a great concert in Lombardia with Ostetrika Gamberini.

There is also a guide to solve the cube. My way. Back from may 2007. Hope you enjoy, it’s only in italian for now :)

Restyling… again!

Recently I decided to move my website on another automated tool for publishing. I’ve been through several evolutive steps:

  • FrontPage (2000)
  • handmade (2004, indeed an evolutive step over FrontPage…)
  • iWeb (2008)
  • now it’s time for WordPress (2010)

I think I’ll use this new site also as a blog, I had a blog before (not a public one)… maybe now… who knows :)

Wind of change

I quitted Absolute5 and Centrica and had taken in general a break from music, just to have more time for other important things in life: college, studies, computer science projects, travels, friends and girlfriend :)
