Ohohoh! Santa Wave is coming!

Dear folks,

apparently Google people are extremely generous to me.

Early last month, they sent me a full invitation (the one with 8-more invite to send). Now, I discovered 8 more invitation in my googlewave account. If that wasn’t enough they sent me another regular invitation to a second account I own.

Thus, here I am wishing you Merry XMas and giving away my invitation!

What you have to do

Send me a mail (yes a snail-mail or better a postcard, I love them) to this address:

Luca Marchetti
via Ariosto 25
00185 Roma
Italy

and send me your XMas greetings! icon biggrin Google Wave giveaway

The first eight people will receive a google wave invitation as soon as I receive their postcard.
Leave a comment as soon as you sent the postcard, with your email, so I can reserve an invite for you!

A little remark

Greetings From Google!

Try to be polite with the subject of your request, and choose a great theme for the postcard. The best of all would be one of these from Google, but unfortunately I do not live in US icon sad Google Wave giveaway (but if you are and would like to be at the first rank…)

Wave-ing…

Update 15/11/09: it occurred to me that the invitation was anonymous just because it came directly from Google. I requested an invitation early in August, but I never thought I would received it! That’s absolutely great! So, thanks Google! (and no, I’m sorry but I do not have any left invite anymore…

I was bored to go to work today, but a cool surprise was waiting me: I just got a Google Wave invitation!

There was a lot of excited comments about this new piece of Google-ware.
I’m excited too, but I keep my mind on the ground: the technology is really cool and offers a lot of potential new use, but the real usefulness need to be proved yet.

Nevertheless, I would not to work today… (looking forward to come back home to try it!)

Thanks, you anonymous guy who Google that sent me the invitation!!!

Here I am! Again!
Too many times the sun rose without any written lines…
Fortunately today I found some spare time and here I am to update my space.

In the last months many things happen:

  • I talked to Fusion ’08 Conference. Speaking to a wide audience it is not so scaring as I thought. I survived to it, and I had some good impressions too.
  • we (me and my friends of SPQR lab) went to China for a holiday, robotic competitions. Let me forgot about the results. Anyway China is a controversial country. A country with too many problems trying to be “cool”. -_-;;
  • we (me, my girlfriend, my sister, her boyfriend and my cousin) went to Madrid for a little (really) holiday. Very nice place to stay, Spanish people are great! Here you can find some shots taken in Madrid. Ah we went also to Toledo: I love arabic architecture!
  • I started to work (part-time) in a company. It is for only 6 months, perfect to finish my PhD with some revenue. And the job is also interesting: porting our software framework on their DSP. Gambaru!
  • and at last, I was the best man!

Infact last Sunday, finally, I was my friend’s best man. It was a very bright day, the sun was welcoming a new family: Marco and Raffaella.

I am so grateful to them, when I met them 7 years ago I did not expected to became so relative to them.
They really help me to became the man who I am now (and I guess I am a good one).

In the last year I was in charge to make their wedding invitation and the placeholder for the restaurant.
