    Back online

    A month after my first post I’m back from my summer holidays and ready to come back to my desk and to my cases to work on… Slow start this week, though: on Thursday and Friday I’ll work from home (Home Working, great move and great conquest to improve our work-file balance!), then next week I’ll be fully in. By the way, just in case you fancy to see a few pictures I took during my vacation, here is a selection. I think that’s all for now, just a few more days to recoved from the post-vacation duties (gifts to distribute to parents and friends, baggages to unpack etc…), then I should be ready to start this new blogging experience 🙂   CheersCarlo

Often (and are the cases where I have more “fun”) I work on cases where a web application consumes too memory, or too CPU, or performs badly, or crashes (be aware or what is a real crash and what is perceived to be a crash… maybe I’ll discuss…
