Back from lunch I found an IM message from JY saying "did you get the hearthquake???". I thought he was referring to the hearthquake that happened a couple of days ago in Sicily, and he wasn't on-line anymore so... I didn't find out until a few minutes ago, when I read my aggregator. Btw: it happened in Southern Italy, quite far from where I live.

I'm playing with Evocam. The image that you see is captured in real time. A motion detector analyzes the camera signal and saves a jpeg file every time anything happens on the screen (meaning: I move). This won't be updated for long I think, but so far is cool.

PS: I switched the camera off, tomorrow is a national holiday in Italy and I won't be back until Monday. Leaving the camera on in a dark and empty office doesn't make much sense. Now you can stop reloading this page

Remember my ramblings about p2p companies? Well, when I wrote that piece I wanted to use the "loosely coupled" metaphor, but then for some reason I didn't. This article gives a some very interesting perspectives on the idea. You should also read the white paper.
