After many moons I finally found the time to get the blog back :) I scavenged some of the old contents from google cache which was nice. However, this time i will not depend on google anymore for the backup: i have now my very own cronjob which backs-up the content of the site every night… even if i will not add stuff daily :)

The HCVE seminar is over and I am back in Lugano. I must say that this week in Dagstuhl was a very nice even if a bit tiresome one.

I think the best part of the seminar was meeting cool people, having great discussions (including, but by no means limited to the one that lead to the discovery of the nonlinear meta-parametrization :), attending interesting talks, learning more about my very own biomedical topic, and, last but not the least, enjoying the evening social activities. I think Dagstuhl is great because of the collegial atmosphere that it creates.

After the seminar was over, together with Marco and the dutch team (Olga, Vim and Ingo) we visited the university of Kaiserlautern where the hosts were kind enough to give us demos of the technical marvels (powerwall and stereo monitor) they have there.

The way back was eventless and followed by many hours of sleep. And this is good because another busy week is waiting at the end of which there is, guess what… another busy one in Bari.
