Moondus, Take 2
Published April 10, 2008Moondus, the 3D platform I am working on with my colleagues at Virtual Italian Parks, is coming along extremely well.
We finally reached production stage, and clients interested in publishing their content with our engine have just started to arrive as well! :)
A lot has changed in the background since I last posted a video about it, and I think the final result we achieved is nothing short of amazing, especially for guys like us that worked in 3D engineering for the very first time.
Thank you Repubblica.it for assuming we are all retards.

A special box to remind people of the daylight savings changes occurring tonight, at 2am, and nothing wrong with that … but something gets my attention, a link below it saying “THE ANIMATION”. The animation? What animation? Are they going to show me an animated movie of WHAT? Let’s click, I need to see it, I am curious.
Please enable Javascript and Flash to view this Flash video.Wow.
What I liked most of all was the amazing button you can click after the animation is complete … because, you know … it is so hard to understand, you might want to play it again.
Google, get your facts straight.

Dear Google, it would be really appreciated if you could please get your facts straight and change the Google logo celebrating Alexander Bell as the inventor of the telephone with something else, maybe with him and something that he really invented himself.
I am now waiting for the 13th of April, to see if you will put a logo with the real inventor of the telephone, Antonio Meucci, on your homepage, but somehow I have the feeling this won’t happen.
Thank you.
Creating Worlds – Moondus
Published February 13, 2008The last 5 months at my new job have been really enjoyable and extremely challenging at the same time.
We have been developing a virtual world internet platform, and I have to say it is coming along pretty well.
This is a video of the Alpha release of the engine … playing God is fun indeed :)
Unlimited email aliases with Gmail
Published February 5, 2008
Gmail is amazing.
A totally free service with more than 6gb of mail storage, POP3 and IMAP protocols, spam filtering, web and mobile phone access … and unlimited aliases too!
This “secret” feature is very useful if you want, for example, to create a spam address that you can easily filter connected to your Gmail account.
It works like this: by adding a “+” to your login plus anything you want, the mail sent to that address will be automatically redirected to your main account.
So, for example, the emails bob@gmail.com, bob+smith@gmail.com and bob+superhero@gmail.com will all point to the same inbox. (bob@gmail.com)
This way you can for example register to websites with an address containing “+spambox” and then filter all mail containing that address and send it directly into your spam folder.
Another nice feature is the use of the dot: Gmail strips all dots out of every email account, so the addresses: bob.smith@gmail.com, bobsmith@gmail.com and b.o.b.s.m.i.t.h@gmail.com are basically all the same.
Just wanted to share this nice feature I have discovered today, have fun! :)
