20-10-2011

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 :)

UPDATE 01/11/2011:
SharedDesks will be on stage the second day – Panel 2.

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

During the last month i had a very bad issue with my laptop (MacBook Pro bought in middle 2008)…a weird band (on the bottom of the display) of “seemed to me like burned pixels”.
I thought i’ve to send it to the apple (deciding to work on random computer for months…and paying applecare stuff) UNTIL….I’ve found this !
There i’ve found a do-it-yourself guide to every sort of apple products defects. Yeah!
Never saw this website…i’ve thought could have been good thing to share it :)

Yes…most of the time you can repair your apple computer with your own hands.

Internet explorer sucks, big time.

This is nothing new, nothing special and neither something. 006938-ie7logo
Just frustration that explode and must be outside my mind
to share a thought with the internet world, with a personal hope that one one day
the sentence “ie sucks big time” will be the most popular sentence on the www.

I just passed like 6 hours of my life trying to make 1 horizontal and one vertical <ul><li><a> menus working with ie.
Everything was already working yesterday (xhtml 1.0 and css 2.1 validated)…
but after installing vmware and winXp with ie6 and ie7…pf.
I designed the graphics knowing what i was dealing with…but no way…you can know everything you want in advance.

Internet Explorer will keep making fun of you until, crying, you’ll decide to stop working with internet stuff.

why internet explorer sucks?
who cares, just switch to firefox
or if you still want to use ie* at least click here .

That’s it, thanks for reading.

*If you are an internet explorer user, switch to firefox, seriously.

Accessibility #1

By: enrico

10-04-2009

me, nerdstuff

Today i was looking for inspiration to start creating a new website about Torino and accessibility (with accessibility i mean something REALLY accessible to visually impaired people such as blind, color blind, people with low vision, etc…).

I looked here and there and made a bunch of google search with every possible keyword i had in mind (in ita and eng) without finding anything really interesting and i started to had the feeling of being the only one interested in this, at the moment.

Then, after at least 1 hour, i’ve found 2 nice websites, actually…1 nice article in a website and 1 nice website.
I wanted to share them here, to help spread the idea to, at least, start thinking about accessibility
not just with w3c validators or design rules, but also caring about the users that will actually navigate into a website.

Here the two links: the article and a gallery of accesible websites

Introducing aboutme project

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… :)
