…not in a world where “covariant type T occurs in contravariant position”.

According to this website I should apply as experienced esthetist.

I am registered since many years to StepStone (www.StepStone.it), a website to find jobs.

Well, after a lot of time I received an e-mail, suggesting me to apply for job more than 100 Km far away from my home as a Call-center operator with experience (which I have not in that field).

It seems to me that many of those websites perform badly and some others perform awfully.

I mean, if 10 years from now, when you are doing something quick and dirty, you suddenly visualize that I am looking over your shoulders and say to yourself “Dijkstra would not have liked this”, well, that would be enough immortality for me.

In these days I started my new job as research assistant at Politecnico di Torino.
And I rellay enjoy it, I am learning a lot.

Some days ago I had a little talk on Xtext at JUG Torino. It is now available online at http://www.parleys.com/#st=5&sl=1&id=1884.

In the meantime I started working at Politecnico di Torino as Research Assistant.

I am liking it very much.

Today I achieved my master degree in Computer Engineering at the Politecnico di Torino with 105 points out of 110.

Today I finished the first draft of my thesis titled “Model-driven development for multi-layer enterprise architectures” (well, it is written in Italian so actually the title is “Model-driven development per architetture software enterprise multi-livello”).

I also started play with EGit, the Eclips plugin for using Git.

And finally I re-started submitting German words in my Mnemosyne. I started with some words from the song 99 Luftballoons. The lyrics from the German version is so much better than the English version. And the last words… cool song.

In the last days I am thinking about mixing different languages. I am also in the process of reviewing a book about DSLs and reading I came across a technology that I really want to learn about but, as always, I am too busy to learn right now (you know the thesis and other stuff to do). So I decided to start using this blog to remind me things that I want to learn as soon as possible. If I fail it will remain a public dishonour for me

So I state it here:

Let’s see…
