[edit] My ID
First name: Angelo [edit] More stuff about meI am a 26-year old software developer, and a computer science graduate. I enrolled at the University of Pisa in September 2000, and achieved a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science on October 2004, and a Master's Degree in Information Technology on October 12, 2007. I lived in Pisa, Italy (yeah, the city of the leaning tower) from 2000 to 2007, and then I spent a year in Florence working as a Web developer. In November 2008 I finally decided to leave my bittersweet homeland and move in the Netherlands, so my next tough missions is now to become sort of fluent in Dutch. After a few months in Amsterdam, in February 2009 I moved to Groningen, where I am currently living. I also had an exchange student experience, in the January-May 2004 period, at the University of Ottawa, located in the capital city of Canada, where I learned that few of English I am able today to use. I really loved Canada, and it is not so obvious for a Sicilian guy to be impressed by a place in which it snows and is cold every day. I spend my free-time by enjoying beer with friends (but now with much less extent than earlier), playing/writing songs with an electric, acoustic or bass guitar (all instrument I keep into my tiny one-roomed flat in the city downtown, listening to good music (in the rock/jazz/blues/indie range). I also used to organize and manage football teams at the local university Sports Services (CUS Pisa) for the Intramural University Leagues with unimpressive results (at least the lads did respect me, that's what I really cared about...). Another thing I really love, but is somehow forbidden to me by money reasons, is traveling around the world, especially unplanned trips. A short list of places which I hope to visit before to die is available here. About my work interests in computer science, currently I am getting specialized on web information retrieval, data mining and web mining issues. In addition, I have been involved in two software projects which can be found on SourceForge, a repository for open-source applications:
In the end, let me state this: my English sucks. I often tend to mix up American, British and even Canadian English, probably due to the fact I learned the few words I know in a "neutral" country being surrounded by foreigners from all over the world. And my speaking skills are possibly even worse mainly due to my strong Sicilian accent. Minchia. [edit] Coaching career
In my university free-time I also served as a football coach at the local intramural university league level. It all started as a joke, however I liked it so much I live now with the desire to seek a coaching license once I'll be free from my current commitments. You know, I find pretty exciting to sit down on my bench and start shouting nonsense towards the pitch, the players and the referee. However, despite my hot-blooded character, I've never been sanctioned by a ref and my teams have always shown a correct discipline, because I deeply care about respect and I always considered football for what it really means to me: that is, a game. Victory is fine, yep, but it's much less important than enjoyment, and I get angry when people do not understand this basic principle of sports and life. Since I left Italy in late 2008, my expectations for becoming a football manager are slowly fading out. Yes, I know, I am now living in the land of total football, however I doubt the KNVB would allow me joining their classes... Note: All teams and results refer to University Intramural Leagues held in Pisa, Italy.
[edit] Music equipmentHere is my own music equipment I have at my home. I use all of this stuff in order to record my own songs:
I released a number of homemade demos and EPs, which can be all found and downloaded for free at my personal music website. My music works are also featured in alt-pop/rock band I Ragazzi del Falò (The Bonfire Boys). You can find out more about my solo projects on my website (see below on 'External links'). [edit] Places to be visitedThis is a list of places to be visited, according to me, organized by country (the ones I already visited are shown as bolded):
[edit] Places that I have visitedIncluding only cities that really deserve to be mentioned for some reason, either personal or not.
[edit] My favourite topicsSicily, its history and its culture, Italian soccer (and related things, of course), Italian politics, history of rock music, the universitary world of Italy (because I think culture is the real richness) and, surely, anything else you want ;-) [edit] Things to readPolitical theories Swedish way to social democracy Canadian way to social democracy Left-wing politics of Italy
Something about my island Political/social ideas I support
[edit] Best articles written by me[edit] VariousI also contribute occasionally on Italian Wikipedia, mainly about Sicilian, Canadian, musical and political articles, and (very) rarely on English Wiktionary, Sicilian Wiktionary, French Wikipédia, Wikimedia Commons, and Wikibooks. I have a Wikiscore of 125.
