Six words are enough

A friend has indirectly drawn my attention to an old issue of Wired, where it says that

Hemingway once wrote a story in just six words (”For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”) and is said to have called it his best work.

The proposed game is to write a biography using only six words.

Already written by Hemingway: I quit.

Even though I already know that, according to Wikipedia, Carlos and Carla rank as the 3rd most popular names in many Spanish-speaking countries, I still don’t understand why many people outside Italy call me Carlos. I’m Italian and Carlo is my name: please, use it to refer to me. :) Carlo (and Karl, Carl, Charles and so on) means “free man” but you are not free to call me Carlos, not at all! :)

Astonished by reference

Everybody knows that Internet is quite a strange place. Today I have read the Apache log of my professional website and I have found some very astonishing information:

  • I have absolutely no idea about why thousands of HTTP Referers are from a Dutch estate company (I guess it is, because I don’t understand Dutch);
  • a French guy that moderates (moderates?) an AFAIK live action gun role-playing game web forum uses my picture as an avatar (oh, dear!) and once more I have absolutely no idea why he does that;
  • I’m the third Carlo you can find on Google Image and I guess this fact is related to the previous one.
