=== Tue, 21st October - Back to Boston ===

[[BostonSkyline.jpg]]

I have greatly missed this place ever since I had to leave earlier this year.  My visa
is still a temporary B-1, which means I'll have to leave within 3 months.  During this
time, I'm planning to give a talk, finally nail down the SugarLabs server infrastructure
and meet with the OLPC folks to discuss common goals.

I'll be staying at the [[http://www.acetarium.com/ | Acetarium]], the most exclusive
hacker accomodation in Cambridge.

=== Fri, 10th October - ENEA research center ===

Me and my uber-geeky Italian friends went to visit the ENEA Research Center on the Brasimone
lake in Emilia Romagna.

The center is located inside a dismissed nuclear plant, quite a suggestive setting for a lab researching
fourth-generation fission reactors and even nuclear fusion for the [[http://www.iter.org/ | ITER]]
international effort.
