'''Tip:''' as always, start from the bottom and proceed bottom up to keep time flowing in one direction.

+=== Tue, 8th ===
+
+This morning I shown up at OneLaptopPerChild's headquarters. It's again next to KendallSquare,
+in OneCambridgeCenter.
+
+JimGettys was very kind: he took me to LegalSeaFood for lunch, repaired my ExOh's keyboard (two
+keys were dead) and introduced me to the team members.
+
+They left me with the usual Hollywood formula: "don't call us, we'll call you".
+But in this particular case, I felt they were sincere :-)
+
+I hope to be soon a member of the OLPC core team!

+
+==== Alea Iacta Est ====
+
+As promised... Yes, indeed. Everybody please cross their fingers.
+
+Babbo:Pregherò perchè tu possa ottenere quello che cerchi.
+
+Camy: Mannaggia a voi due ( Bernie e Alberto ) siete cosi..."teneri". Come ho già detto tante volte a Bernie, è fortunato ad avere un babbo cosi! Lo so, lo so che non c'entra nulla con lo stile di questo blog, ma io sono cosi, impulsiva e Bernie lo sa e mi perdonerà.
+A dire il vero anch'io sto in ansia per lui :-) speriamo bene...
+
+Bernie: Via, non fatemi venire il magone voi due :-)

+=== Sun, 6th ===
+
+==== International Dinner ====
+
+FedericoLucifredi and his wife Irena were so kind to invite me at their place for a
+fine dinner with appetizers, SirloinSteak (see pic below), several side
+dishes and... Even a PinotNoir!
+

+
+There were also Mauro -- Federico's colleague at Ximian -- and Irena's
+friend who's a physics professor from Providence and could speak perfect
+French and, surprisingly, even Italian!
+
+What can I say? I think I got a pound or two that night, but it was
+worth it! :-)
+
+
+=== Sat, 5th ===
+
+==== Cinema ====
+
+There's a cinema in building 26 @ EmAiTee, and it's cheap.
+I'm going tonight.
+
+==== Cursious? ====
+
+If you're curious, my room rent is $500 per month. Utilities,
+ forniture and DSL Internet access are included.
+
+It's not cheap, but it's also not too expensive for Boston.
+They told me that only Manhattan is more expensive here on
+the east coast.
+
+==== CurriculumVitae ====
+
+...is almost ready. A friend told me that I'd better have
+also a synthetic resume of 1-2 pages for the impatient.
+I think he's right.
+
+Well, I said I'd be finished by last Monday, but then I
+managed to slip past my own deadline visiting NewYorkCity,
+moving in my current room and in other frivolous ways.
+
+Now I have no excuses: the time has come. Next Monday I
+''will'' write my proposal. Seriously.
+
+=== Fri, 4th ===
+
+==== Exchange Rates ====
+
+Looks like I'd better convert all my money to dollars *now*:
+
+ http://www.x-rates.com/d/USD/EUR/graph30.html
+
+What do you think about it?
+
+Babbo:penso che $ continuerà a svalutare. Perderai soldi.
+
+==== StataCenter ====
+
+I forgot to tell you about the kewlest building in EmAiTee:

=== Wed, 2nd ===
Writing in English is also what I need to improve my writing skills.
For the few of you who barely know English, some more reading surely won't hurt!

As always, I'd very much appreciate being told about any mistake I make.
