    Qt Core: Hi Wol
    Wol Euler: buongiorno, qt
    Wol Euler: how's the Exhibition shaping up?
    Qt Core: i just noticed that i forgot to mention the (of little or not importance) privacy issue about sending you the money and getting you to see ours real names
    Qt Core: expo ? bad enough ;-)
    Wol Euler: if your Paypal is in your RL name then I fear there is no way around that.
    Qt Core: yes, but (at least for me) that is not an issue
    Wol Euler: you can add not-RL email addresses to your account, and log in with them. I see the email address that you logged in to Paypal with

    --BELL--

    Qt Core: this week it was noted that if you are under 30 and you enrol yourself i the PD party you can get discounted prices for the expo tickets, that gave way to a joke: "is that bribery or spoiling of stupid people" ?
    Wol Euler: what the hell?
    Qt Core: just some silly italian political humor
    Wol Euler: hopefully that means that the party pays the difference. Everyone should sign up to make them pay, then immediately resign
    Qt Core: they probably get the wholesale price and will not have their surcharge
    Wol Euler: damn
    Wol Euler: then it should be illegal :)
    Qt Core: that would be the lesser of the legal problems of Expo ;-)
    Wol Euler laughs.
    Qt Core: (paypal just said i paid :-)_
    Wol Euler: good, thank you
    Qt Core: i recently saw a tv ad with the expo logo and the McDonald one near each other, ok, they are one of the main food distributor in the world, but still...
    Wol Euler: for what it's worth, I will be making statements to the group of what was paid, but anonymized
    Wol Euler: not even SL names
    Qt Core: agree with the anonimizing
    Wol Euler: and I will forget any RL names that I might happen to see :)
    Qt Core: ;-)
    Qt Core: speaking of expo, on easter monday i went in Milan to see the new building/skyscrapers), here a few pic i get of them (the vertical garden too): https://picasaweb.google.com/1104762...nLikeATourist8
    Wol Euler looks
    Wol Euler: is the Bosco part of the exhibition redevelopment, or is its being there just chance?
    Qt Core: the big green area is a wheat field , explicity made for expo and that i just read today was officially opened (it was sown by several thousand people)
    Qt Core: chance as in let's redo some of the city that goes with an expo
    Wol Euler nods.
    Wol Euler: good photos, lovely weather too
    Wol Euler: the Bosco looks good
    Qt Core: ty, and yes, we are having great weather

    --BELL--

    Qt Core: later with fb foto sharing i got to learn that a friend of mine was there at the same time, but too crowdy, we didn't see each other
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Wol Euler: funny how that happens.
    Wol Euler: I saw on FB that two friends of mine who don't know each other were at the same outdoor concert
    Qt Core: (some of the pic were almost identical)
    Qt Core: fb friends show so clearly the sic degree of separation idea
    Wol Euler nods.
    Qt Core: *six
    Qt Core: there was once an app (when that was shorthand for java applet) that starting from a website and doing google search with that showed a graph of how website linked to each others, i really loved that (it pretty easily showed who owned who, who said similar things and such)
    Wol Euler: cool
    Wol Euler: proving the "web" idea
    Wol Euler: wb
    Qt Core: ty
    Wol Euler: ha
    Qt Core: Found it: http://touchgraph.com in the demos now (a little different but same idea) (and i didn't realized that i have no browser java support in this pc)
    Qt Core: (it is the new a little random one ?

    --BELL--

    Qt Core: what prices! just to say one academic and non profit can have it on their web sites for only 2399 USD!
    Wol Euler: a bargain! I'll take two.
    Qt Core: (yearly)
    Wol Euler: wow
    Wol Euler: well, good luck to them.
    Qt Core: the data idea is simple, getting it good looking and fast is another thing
    Wol Euler: Looking at your photos still, that building with balconies like a zipper seems uncomfortable to me
    Wol Euler: the people above can see whatever yo do on your balcony
    Wol Euler: through the gap
    Qt Core: yes and with all that balconies it seems a residential one, not an only offices buildinh
    Wol Euler: definitely not office
    Wol Euler: balconies are wasted space to an office building. Can't but desks on them
    Qt Core: but with the smoke bam laws they may have a use in office buildings too ;-)
    Wol Euler: ha, yes
    Wol Euler: but there again, 5 square metres per floor would be enough
    Qt Core: yes. even the Bosco Verticale pair seems to suffer a little about that same balconies privacy issue
    Wol Euler nods.
    Wol Euler: though the trees do provide some screening
    Wol Euler: perhaps people don't use balconies any more? maybe I'm just oldfashioned
    Qt Core: but maybe when the tree will be taller *but not in autumn, maybe)
    Wol Euler nods.
    Qt Core: i was stunned (and i still get some thrill) about the almost black and white pic
    Qt Core: with all that blue sky around it really got me
    Wol Euler: yes, that is really peculiar
    Wol Euler: well captured
    Qt Core: it was just saw and shot, a few try to "get it better" went fast in the waste bin ;-) like most pic i try harder at
    Wol Euler smiles.
    Qt Core: artificial beauty is an hard art
    Wol Euler: heheheheh
    Qt Core: and that the following pic is was just taken after that almost b/w one, just rotating myself 180 degrees

    --BELL--

    Wol Euler nods.
    Qt Core: it was my first photo session of this spring/summer, i'll probably end up with many pic at expo ;-)
    Wol Euler: very likely :)
    Qt Core: (and being some times since last use of my camera i monted the shade wrong and had to crop many shots (and discovered the batteries are dieing too)
    Wol Euler: :)
    Wol Euler: I must find a louder bell for that.
    Qt Core: i haven't heard it
    Qt Core: (and i must quickly go too, bye Wol)
    Wol Euler: bye qt, take care
