The 2nd european Coworking Conference is coming!
From Shared Desks there will be 2 participants with the same name: me (Enrico) and Enrico …and it’s not a joke…we simply have the same name…
Anyway if you are into coworking or “co-working” like some newspaper says join us!

…and since, basically the same guys, has gone live with the new coworking survey….please take a few seconds to answer a few questions (i did it….and it really took me something like 50 seconds) here and help everybody to get a better idea of the coworking scene worldwide. Ok?

That’s it for now…i just wanted to spread the word about the conference :)

HTML5 Admin Template

I’m happy to present my last project (my first opensource project): html5admin a simple html5 ready admin template for those programmers, like me, who feel like wasting time in building every time new html structure for their new clients.

It’s open-source because it wasn’t more than 3 days of work, but it’s a start…and i really hope somebody will support it by improving it.
It still needs a lot of features, but it could be considered “ready-to-use” since it’s covering the most common UI actions…

So: if you feel like helping or you were looking for a new template for your next administration section…here’s the github / download link and the demo pages.
Enjoy.

SharedDesks - Find Coworking with The Coworking Finder

In a previous post of 2009 i was talking about coworking and a new idea that was trying to become “alive”.
Now you can find a coworking in seconds!
…nope, just kiddin’, not yet, but sure looking for coworking spaces will be easier then ever, just whip us to make us work faster and to see the result of our work :)
Ok, back to the coworking subject and to the coworking finder….2 days ago we finally launched “SharedDesks – The Coworking Finder” (and today we got published onepagelove.com thanks to Dario‘s design and Genesio’s illustrations).
The idea has grown (but it’s still the same old thing helping freelancers, coworkers, writers, nerds, etc. to find a coworking…) and i hope we can soon get online with what IMHO believe being the best way to find a coworking (eheh, probably that’s not so modest, but still, i remember having this idea 2 years ago and i still believe it will be great :P ).
In the meanwhile, if you are a coworking addict, a coworking curious, a coworking owner or manager, a coworker, or a human surfing the web….we are now waiting to see some results in terms of participation…and that is why you should “whip us” and get our pre-beta subscription invitations!

see the Coworking Finder in a single page “preview” and get the invitation to finally find coworking.

UPDATE 08/08/2011
There is a beta of coworking finder up and running at http://coworkingfinder.com there you can find already a few coworking spaces around you, check it out!

UPDATE 07/11/2011:
SharedDesks is now online!!!

redesign twitter

how to redesign a twitter background ?
how to redesign a twitter page ?
Until today, googling those sentences, i can see there’s a lot people wondering :)

In case you never heard about it before…i’ve found (yesterday) a
10 minutes solution to these problems.

Yesterday i was showing somebody how to change colors, and backgrounds, etc. of a twitter page (from the “Settings > Design“)
and i’ve noticed something i’ve never seen before…on the bottom right of the page “Settings > Design” i’ve seen this:

And boom! That’s it!
I’ve discovered Themeleon, a tool built from colourlovers, extremely easy-to-use and quite powerful!

You can basically change everything that twitter lets you change picking up (and customizing!) textures and color palettes chosen from two differents category lists…filtered by 2 words: “top” and “new”.

In 10 minutes: this is the result, is not the best design job ever, but still…better then light blue clouds :)

If you never heard of it: try it.

If you have seen it before: isn’t it a great, user-friendly, not-nerd-but-advanced-design tool?
:) I love it.

Introducing aboutme project

By: enrico

aboutme, me, webweirdworld

I am collecting data like:
“how many cigarettes i smoke”,”how many times i use the elevator/staits in my building”,”home many time i piss”,”how many times i eat pasta or pizza”,”home many times i shave”,”at what hour i wake up”, etc…for the whole year 2009. every day.

That’s basically all i am doing, for now.

The entire project consists in:

  • storing this info in a database
  • represent them in a nice design package
  • put the project on the web and use it as a portofolio
  • help others to do da same in a more easy way trough an online application

Why?
I don’t really know why, yet.

This is it.

UPDATE 06/2009:
I stopped this project, cause i’ve realized the info i was collecting where too less and not so interesting as i wanted, i did, anyway, collected data for 6 months…and yes, everyday, i was using my pen to make like a hundred small dots on a small piece of paper with a schema printed on it. Always in my pockets. Day and night, at parties, in the bathroom, at work, on vacation, etc… :)
