Dear readers, I apologize for the long time the blog has been left outdated. Most of the time I try to keep my writing on about 1~2 posts per week, but lately I have been just too busy.
I do have a bank of posts for the hard hours that is actually a large one but, I must confess, nothing on it is completely finished and revised. Yes I know, shame on me!
The reason why I am in such a hurry is that Anna and I are permanently moving to Europe in less than two weeks, and the amount of time such a move consumes is just huge.
We are going to Italy, either to Lucca or Trento, which are two places in which Anna has family and this will be the starting point of a new exciting phase of our life.
It is also time for new and exciting professional changes.
In the last years I’ve been working with many very-computer-related stuff, I taught Algorithms and compilers in college, I developed software for Linux and Linux distributions, and in the last two years I worked developing Software Prototypes for Sony Ericsson.
(by the way, I must add, this has been an amazing job, and I really want to thank all my colleagues and managers both in Sweden and Brazil for the very fine time I had).
But now I left this job and I think the time has come for changes and to face some new challenges.
Some 10 or 11 years ago, before I graduated in Computer Science, I studied Architecture and I worked as a web designer for many years. Web design was the path I wanted, one I really loved and I was even awarded for.
I think I found so many exiting things in Computer Science that eventually followed a different path. Now, I am coming back to the web. I have been freelancing some web projects for the last 18 months, after some 3 years of web inactivity and this very blog is offspring of this.
In fact, this blog wasn’t a professional one at first, but eventually became, and now I can’t write more off-topic stuff here, so I’d like to launch a new blog before my trip.
This would a place where I can put random stories and pictures about my move to Italy itself, thoughts about Italy, cultural differences and of course, Food and Lifestyle, that was the original theme of this blog, before my professional side took over my entire self.
Of course, the trip to Italy would be only the first theme, I’d like to talk about many themes that interest me but would be off topic here.
And you, would you like me to write on a new blog?

Hi GUI!
Good luck to you both! Keep in touch, maybe we can get together this year!
Ciao!
Querido Guillermo:
Te deseo mucha suerte en tu nueva vida… no te pierdas. Saludos y abrazos para vos y para tu adorable esposa, Anna.
Con cariño.
Carla.
I’d definitely like to hear about your move to Italy, and about Italian food and culture from an outsider’s perspective.
@Chris - Thanks, I do hope we met there.
@Carla Zucca - Gracias Carla.
@Ric - Good to know. This blog would be like a B-Side of Zo’C with subjects that would be off topic here.
I wish you two all the best and I´m very happy with the news I read!
Maybe I´ll visit you there in some years, kkkkkkkkk.
Keep in touch.
@Andre Rodrigo Sanches - Thanks
All the very best to both of you. May Italy present wonderful options for your career and personal lives.
Inspired by “Under the Tuscan Sun,” me and a friend are planning a visit to make a film called “Desi Don” or Indian Don and I read you are into cinema. Life might connect us Someday.
Cheers!
@Puneet Sachdeva - Thanks! Italy is as beautiful as it looks in the movie, although somehow different in my opinion.
I’d like to see the movie one day.
