+==== Veni, Vidi, ???? ====
+
+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!

+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!

+If you're curious, my room rent is $500 per month.  Utilities,

+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.
