A night at Blue Note
Gream Flower
On the pic you can see Greame, a friend of my mate Ludovica. He was playing yesterday at the Blue Note here in Milano in the band of Kyle Eastwood.
That's why me, Ludo and 2 more friends were there.
Greame is a nice and really easygoing guy, you can get a more info about him here.
He said that he is coming back to Milano for Xmas … let's wait and see …
Well, once more, thank you Greame for the free tickets !

One more time in Padova
Padova is, with Siena, the city I like most in Italy.
Things you can't miss :
- Caffè Pedrocchi | The building and the coffee with cold mint cream and cacao
- Spritz | A kind of lite Negroni, loved by girls. Aperol, seltz and Spumante.
- Wednesday night in Piazza delle Erbe
- Scrovegni Chapel | Giotto's Masterpiece
And if after have cicled all day and have had a long night-party the day after you wanna relax, have a good bath at the Terme preistoriche hot open-air bath opened till midnight and more.

Ubuntu Dual Monitor Setup
Hello, I'm finally on Ubuntu, Dapper drake 
The setup was really easy. I don't have any strange device connected to the PC.
The only thing that didn't work immediately was the dual monitor; I have a Nvidia 7600GS with dual DVI output with 2 BenQ FP93G.
Thanks to this great tutorial Dual Monitors TwinView HowTo By Steve Fink the setup was fast and easy.
Just 2 advices:
1) Be sure that in your xorg.conf under Section Device you have
Driver "nvidia"
and not
Driver "nv"
dunno why but this was my default value.
2) If the second monitor do not works set the horizontal resolution to twice the monitor resolution.
For example, my monitor has 1280×1024 and I had to set the resolution to 2560×1024.
