I think it’s time to make a decent presentation.
My name is Roberto, next Sunday I’ll be 26 years old. I am Italian but I work and live in US from October 2006. Without many details about my position, let say I am a Software Engineer at the University of California, Irvine but I don’t want annoy you with my skills, this is not a resume.
I love Soccer, I played soccer for almost 15 years, I have broken my bones playing soccer, I had a lot a satisfactions playing soccer. But I am also starting enjoying Basket. Of course, NBA is more a show than a sport, but I’m starting following it as much as I did with soccer years ago.
I don’t read much, honestly I don’t read, except online newspapers. By the way, why we do not stop to print newspapers, magazines, books and use only online version, that’s not clear not me. Internet access is almost anywhere, and we would save a lot of trees. But I’m not an environment-guy, so let go ahead. Anyway, I’m reading Don Quixote, few pages per day, I’m planning to finish it before the Italian soccer team will win another world cup.
Due to nine hours of distance between Italy, I have few contacts with my friends. Mainly because I like Skype and I don’t like MSN Messenger, while all of them like MSN Messenger. Probably we can fix this problem. But I’m still in touch with them because they are using an online forum to organize parties, dinners, whatever. The forum is in Italian, take a look if you wanna waste your time: http://lasacrasede.forumer.it.
Now, my hobbies. I like coding, usually I have a lot of ideas which I forget before to realize. The last one is implementing a famous Italian card game, “TreSette” using Ruby. But the best part of the history is why I have this idea. Basically I play cards every day with my girlfriend and she will never beat me, I would like to create a better adversary. Status of the work: nothing done, I’m still waiting for a good heuristic to emulate a decent way to play. I miss you Magro, you were a good adversary. Of course, because you are really luckier than me.
That is it for today, but soon I’ll tell you about the VISA problem, about my current job and potential future job, about Facebook and whatever in my mind.
