I am an italian man, studied physics (at the

university) but I didn't finish it yet; I am

languages in a rather general way (not only computer languages):

each time I see a ''new'' language I must get a tour in its basic;

rarely I go beyond the first steps, nonetheless I had a rather

I also can use other ''languages'' to do real tasks: PHP, Perl,

in particular recently I ''discovered'' functional programming paradigm

and I am trying to understand it more clearly... learning Haskell.

I have a ''personal'' (read: almost unuseful) site I created long time

ago, it grew, shrank, moved... but basically it is always the same.

Since altogether with six friends we founded an association and bought a

domain, my site nowadays is hosted there. We still keep (and we shall keep)

the site on.

My site is [http://www.capo-nord.org/soci/xmav here]; I am trying to give

it a better look, but for now it is almost frozen (except for few

contents).

I am interested in ray-tracing (POV Ray ... I prefer to write ''codes''

rather than a visual approach like Blender, and indeed I would like

to attend the POV Ray Contest IRTC, which is back on Smalltalk/Seaside,

but the site still has bugs...!) and music composing (MIDI, Csound).

Since I knew TeX / LaTeX, I've forgot any word processing program. TeX

(I have the TeX Book) brought me to the world of digital typesetting and, through

Metafont, to the hard world of font creation. I own the METAFONT Book

(''requested'' as gift for a past birthday), just another language

altogether with PostScript. I dream about drawing like Herman Zapf,

but currently I've just created few stupid symbols.

After my first contact with german because of the KickPascal manual,

I studied a little bit of japanese; then I discontinued it and

studied icelandic... then I discontinued it and studied norwegian...

then I discontinued it and... I like languages, but liking means no

to have the ability to learn them all :(

I like writing and I hope to finish and publish a novel (I am writing

it since I was twenty... I believe it's just another dream), and I

want to be the designer of my book and I would like to typeset it

using TeX (I bet that in italian novel publishing world it could be

very hard...)

All my dreams about my maths and physics stuffs are currently shipwrecked

somewhere in the past. I have often a lot of time

(more or less), and I spend it

on a computer, mainly reading web and programming and it is how I

landed on this interesting wiki.
