On anti-spam filters or how I lost a lot of emails…

I’ve been experiencing problems with people who said that they had sent me emails which I never received. I thought there were some temporary problems with my mailbox (with alice.it) since it’s not unusual to see the pop server complaining for nonsensical reasons.

I’m back from the UDS (with pictures)

I haven’t blogged for a while since I’ve been very busy and and I was too tired to blog or to do any actual work on my projects. This was my 1st time at the UDS and my 1st time abroad. It was a dream-like experience and went far beyond my expectations. I have met […]

A few updates

I’m still trying to get over the stress of graduating, dreaming (every night!) of having yet to do exams in order to graduate doesn’t help though. I’m working on my projects at a slower pace, fixing a few bugs here and there before the release of EnvyNG. I have designed a new system for URandR […]
