Best italian band ever

Si può vincere una guerra in due
e forse anche da solo

Si può estrarre il cuore anche al più nero assassino
ma è più difficile cambiare un'idea

Il mio sogno è un taglio netto a tutto
e voglio che sia più reale

Potrei stare ore ed ore a parlare al silenzio
ma è più difficile cambiare un'idea

I used to listen to Litfiba at secondary school. Discovered this song - "Apapaia" - during a travel to Prague; an instant love that changed me forever.

This song is one of their highest peaks, and activates some neural connection that brings me backward to those days, reactivating sleeping feelings and stimulating forgotten sensations.

The lyrics change meaning depending on my own state: in my chaotic life, in which also no action could cause terrific conseguences, this songs mutates message too suddenly.

Right now it sounds like an hint,
a suggestion,
or maybe a prayer.

Gaia


ricordi che si accavallano
sensazioni stratificate
il tempo ineludibile e quello che ne consegue
a un certo punto scagli il volto al cielo e domandi "hai altri assi nella manica, o mi darai tregua ora?"

(il brano è un palese plagio floydiano, ma ogni tanto ci vuole)

30 ways to get 30 ways to get 30 ways to get...

Algorithms and Data structures are programmers' A-B-C, tiny and fundamental bricks which let them compose massive wall of code.

They represent the way a programmer intends to model reality's shape and behaviour.

Sounds like a great course -and actually it is- but it's often bypassed by students for its huge requirements of advanced algebric calculations.

Eg.: me.
I delayed 8 years this exam. It's a shame.

With this result I finally closed the "first year" chapter; it's a important day in my life.

Wonder of Nature (was "battle at Kruger")


Outstanding video; 8 minutes better than any action movie.

Nature is touching... breathtaking... harrowing and incredibly involving.

Emotion of purity.
