I don't care because my work +is for due for Trial2. But many of my colleagues were extremely +under pressure. + +There is one last bug with some laptops not coming out of resume. +And it's still not fixed at 21:00. Kernel hackers are scraping +their heads. + +We had pizza together and, seeing so many tired faces, I casually asked: +"when do we close for summer?". + +People look at me puzzled: "What do you mean exactly by ''close''?". + +"Err... companies don't close for summer here in the States?". + +They look at each other, trying to guess if it's some kind +of joke: "Why would companies ever ''close''? They're not schools." + +I quickly added: "Oh, I'm asking because, you know, most +companies in Italy do close a few weeks for summer". + +At this point everybody laughed like if companies closing +was an extremely funny idea. + +This is one reason why we have a strong economy here: people +are extremely committed at work. Will I ever catch up? Hope so. + + +=== Tue, 12th === + +==== Eutelia Voip ==== + +I have a new public phone number: {{055-3984187}}. + +It's Eutelia's VOIP service, formerly Skypho.
