Don’t think I will have the chance to update this blog again before moving to Russia to meet my girlfriend Diana, so I wish you all in advance a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!
A big thanks to my friend Valerio for sending me the following picture this morning and giving me a smile.
Take care and have fun!
PMS Survival Tips
Posted by Fulvio | Filed under Uncategorized
If you are a guy, you are over 18 and you are in a long term relationship (with a girl of course), I am sure you know the meaning of PMS. :)
So, for all of you willing to survive those 5 days of the month without risks, here is an educational (lol) video that I have been sent this morning explaining how to deal with it!
Thanks go to my friend Greg for sending me this awesome link and cheering up what would have been a boring Wednesday morning :D
Oh and btw … 5 days till Christmas! (…and only 6 days to my trip to Russia! :D)
D-Day

Last night I have finished watching the TV mini-series Band of Brothers, and I highly recommend it to everyone, whether you like war related movies or not.
The series is produced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg and it keeps the same desaturated color scheme and realistic representation of combat sequences as in Saving Private Ryan.
I was visiting the shores of Omaha Beach in March this year and while I was staring at the calm, open sea, a cold chill passed through my spine as I tried to imagine the scenario that I would have seen there on June 6, 1944.
My respect and gratitude go to those who fought and lost their lives to give us a better world to live in, true heroes that I hope will never be forgotten.
Windows Vista? No Thanks!

Nice review of the upcoming Micro$oft operating system from the Wired News webmagazine:
Why You Don’t Need Vista Now!
My favourite part of the article:
When I tried to plug in my peripherals, my troubles with Vista began. Since I was missing a 5.1 sound driver for my speakers, an audio device error screen appeared when I connected speakers to the PC. I had to plug in a set of headphones in place of my speakers to get the sound to work.
Also, Vista didn’t recognize my Hewlett-Packard Deskjet 5150 printer when it ran the initial peripheral-compatibility check. When I tried to load the printer driver software anyway, it would not install. A Google search did not reveal any readily available drivers, so I gave up. I ran into the same problem when I tried to install my Logitech webcam — the driver wouldn’t load.
Excellent work, uncle Bill! :D
