I gave myself as a present another 30/30 in an exam… So good!

You should emulate your heros, but don’t carry it too far, especially if they are dead
And thanks to the 1402 unique visitors of this week…

At FNAL there is a wireless network: you can register the MAC address of your wlan interface, and then use the network, as well as surfing the web.
In some physics departments in Italy this is also a reality.
In Padova not.
Yep!

Higgs… Noether… Symmetries… SU(3)… Flavour… Color… Crap… Neutrinos… Neutralinos… Standard Model And Beyond…
Why Pisa and Roma universities have a quality of teaching surely NOT better than Padova University, but have plenty of money to send their undergraduates some months in America during the thesis?
Why Pisa and Roma universities consider the Summer Student as an exam […]

Oh well… I should give to Tommaso my report on the summer activity tomorrow (actually, in a few hours). But I want to obtain some better results, ’cause I don’t like to leave a work half-finished. So I am still working… Ok it is 4.30 in the morning… Oh well… I seriously doubt I will […]

Very tasty fried calamari.
Delicious Stuffed Tiger Shrimps (specialities of the restaurant)
A […]

U.S. officer, ironic: “I see. Students? In a school?”
Me, irritated by the unrespectful behaviour of […]

66 hours, 39 minutes total.
3 hours of which were dedicated to sleep.
About the 4.5%…
But I found and fixed the source of overcorrections in the neural networks I am working on…
More on the topic this weekend, if we do not go to Niagara Falls.
Now I will sleep…

Oh well…
I did not sleep for the last 46 hours, for I had to work hard. And in two hours I will have to speak and show slides at a meeting with the Italian responsible for Summer Students, Giorgio Bellettini…
Yep

I had to wake up: last night in Chicago the battery of the car discharged, so we had to stop a taxi and make the taxi driver to recharge our battery with his battery. Result: arrived home 2.30, talked with an insomnia-girl and then sleep at 3.30… Today I am very sleepy. So I began […]
