[edit] About Me

Hi, I'm ipino, (born June 10, 1978 in Acireale, Italy), and I'm not an actor or a fashion designer; I'm just an Italian guy with passion for informatics stuff and trance music.

I live in Acireale, in Sicily, but I'm not part of any Mafia organization... yet.

I've installed the MediaWiki software on my local Web server and I'm getting used to its markup, though I don't know if I'll ever contribute something. I hope to be able to do so. Besides, some templates and stuff don't work there, so a real testing isn't possible.

Also don't expect me to write anything in this hot summer here in Sicily, except some minor edits here and there.

Maybe I should also sign up to the simple english wiki but it's - as said - too hot right now and I've got Russian Language to learn! That's why you see the russian language box on the right. More on this later.

[edit] Skills

Most of my so-called skills are listed on the right boxes. I consider myself a pretty expert programmer and coder in most modern web languages and programming languages.

The very first programming language I learned was BASIC on a Commodore 64, then I switched to an Amiga 500 in 1993 (and subsequently on a A1200 in 1994) where I learned AREXX, C and a bit of E.

When I bought a PC in late 1997 I expanded my C knowledges and added all other languages you see in the box, C++ (thus object oriented programming), and all scripting and scripted languages like PHP, mIRC Script, Perl, TCL, and the like. I never cared about Java or Visual Basic, infact, I hate VB! If that can be said here, of course, otherwise read it as "I don't like Visual Basic at all".

[edit] FAQs

I like to write, speak and especially to listen to English; often, I tend to think in English rather than Italian, and it's weird when you think of something that would be easier to say in English and you have to mentally "translate it" into Italian in order to let people understand you... or not. Maybe I'm just crazy and I should be put in a brig with the key thrown far away; maybe on Neptune or Vulcan for that matter.

Due do this passion sometimes I like to write FAQs/Walkthroughs for some particular games that I like more than others. To date, I've written only two walkthroughs

Both are available at my site and GameFAQs.

[edit] Music

The music genres I like to listen to are mostly derived from electronic music, though of course I do listen to other genres from time to time. But basically, trance is a constant in my daily listening. The father of a friend of mine described it as "boom boom", and that's how we call it from then. Other genres I love are Chillout, Ambient, and progressive.


When I had the Amiga 1200 as my primary computer I used to create mods with the aid of Octamed 4 (and later Octamed Sound Studio, found on a Aminet Set CD). When I moved to the PC, I kept tracking with Scream Tracker 3 and Impulse Tracker on DOS and ModPlug Tracker on Windows, but I started to lose interest in tracking and I haven't tracked anything since year 2000 by now.

I used to upload my modules at traxinspace.com, an old website that focused on bringing together musicians like me with a great looking site and a powerful search engine in order to achieve a quality website to host modules, comments about them, write reviews (I used to be a novice reviewer in the last few months of its life) and the like. It was shut down for (to me of course) unknown reasons

[edit] Russian

As of Summer 2006, I'm trying to learn Russian using online-available resouces only. I'm at the very beginning so I cannot understand difficult stuff nor I'm able to actually say a single sentence with a real meaning. However I'm able to read cyrillic and understand when that word translitterates to something I know in another language. That is, if I read Италия then I know it's "Italia", and so on.
