Falling in love with Twitter

I’m becoming addicted. http://www.twitter.com/storiedime

If you, that are reading this post, have twitter too, please, put it in the comments or sent to my mail

For the moment, I’m Twitting in Italian, but, if someone will leave here is twitter sign, I’ll try to post in English…

Too much to do…

…in so a little time.

Here in my office there’s an awful mess. Peraphs it would be a little better after January, 30th. But now… Ohw…

And tomorrow I’ve to go to Verona (Giuletta and Romeo city) for work, and it seems that in Northern Italy will snow. Here in Rome we have 12C degrees, so I don’t want to think at the difference…

Surfing again and again…

The discovery of the day…

I’d never heard before of “maildrop” services. In Italy we have the POBox system only, but it’s quite expensive and Post Offices require lot of time in line to take your post.

Now, I have a “little problem”: I haven’t any “smailmail” address. I’m still resident in my birthtown, Turin, but I live in Rome, and now I have a new address without the possibility to change the name on the entry phone.

I absolutely LOVE magazines, and I have the opportunity to subscribe in a cheap way to a lot of them. But where may I ask to send them ?

Google helped me, and I discovered the wonderful word (?) of the private POBox ! The Maildrops ! Great !

I’ve found the remailing services nearest to me, I’ve contacted them and… now I have only to pay the magazines subscription Great service !!!

Maybe you can find my surprise funny, but not everywhere the maildrop system is so diffused.

Only for information

Guantanamo is 5 years old.

A wonderful Gmail tip !

Need to write a Gmail message in a while ? Have you installed the Google toolbar ? OK, so…

This is the right way ! Great !

New experiences

Ok, may seem stupid for lot of people, but today, for the first time in 6 years (and a half), I came to work by metro.

I can’t spend 3 hours a day blocked in traffic jam on the “Rome ring” (the “Grande Raccordo Anulare”), I feel so stupid doing it. So I’ve decided and I’m trying. I have to drive for 7Km to the Metro terminal, then 15 metro stops, change metro line, 7 other metro stop, and then stairs and a little hill to climb (well, not so high). But it’s better than the awful Rome traffic jam.

I can also read. Today my first commuting-companion was Isabel Allende, with her last book (”Ines anima mia”, the Italian title). So nice having time to read again !!!

Integration

IMHO this is great ! Only one super-mega-government site.

Here in Italy we have lots of different public administration sites, everyone different from the other. When the Government changes, every site changes. Awful, and expensive.
