<p>Hi all,<br />
A long silence from me here.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sorry for that but time is very very few. It is one of the reason I&#8217;m <a href="http://twitter.com/maeste" target="_blank">twitting</a> more than blogging. <a href="http://twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a> require a lot lesser time than blogging. I&#8217;m loving it men! It make possible to write some notes without wasting a lot of time in a blog post and it&#8217;s<a href="http://rossmason.blogspot.com/2009/02/twitter-is-changing-community-dynamics.html"> very very effective in terms of feedbacks and information exchange</a>.<br />
But I&#8217;m not here to describe all the resons I&#8217;m loving twitter.<br />
I&#8217;m here to say I have no time <img src='http://www.javalinux.it/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . A little counter sense wasting time in a blog post to say I haven&#8217;t time to waste <img src='http://www.javalinux.it/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . But counter senses are fun because drive us to think different, open the mind and ask our selves where is the real problem.<br />
I have no time for what?<br />
To realize my ideas. I have a lot of ideas (as all people have, I&#8217;m sure of that), but it seems I haven&#8217;t time to put them in practice. And it&#8217;s frustrating. But I decided t return to regular post some ideas here to don&#8217;t loose them.</p>
<p>Perhaps I&#8217;m not having a revulotionary ideas, I&#8217;m not saying E=mc2! But ideas are important per se and share ideas could be the key to give them a spin, an make them fly. Isn&#8217;t it the real spirit of open source movement? Open source isn&#8217;t IMHO a matter of software, but more generally is matter of ideas.</p>
<p>Innovation have a simple recipe: ideas +time to realize it. But innovation in a open source world could become ideas + some opportunity to realize and share them. <a href="http://oddthesis.org/" target="_blank">One of my favourite blog</a> is exactly this: enunciating ideas and realize them (Bob is sufficient lucky to have time itself to realize hi idea).<br />
In the past I have some ideas<a href="http://www.jboss.org/Wise" target="_blank"> became an open source project</a>, and <a href="http://www.javalinux.it/wordpress/?p=116" target="_blank">some stimulated some discussions</a> and I&#8217;d like to implement it in near future as open source project (I haven&#8217;t yet got time, but I love too much <a href="http://code.google.com/p/testedby/">TestedBy</a> underlying idea, it is one of my first priority!).</p>
<p>Anyway I can&#8217;t switch off my brain just because I haven&#8217;t time to realize my ideas.<br />
Could be more interesting and helpful for my curiosity to write down these ideas and share them for an open discussion. At least I&#8217;ll have take note of them to work on in some future, or maybe I&#8217;ll stimulate others&#8217; ideas in virtuos circle. <strong>Let me remark one more time, that is the real underlying idea of open source.</strong></p>
<p>Moreover I&#8217;m reading an interesting book &#8220;<a href="http://www.pragprog.com/titles/ahptl/pragmatic-thinking-and-learning" target="_blank">Pragmatic Thinking and Learning</a>&#8220;. It say a lot of interesting things, but the one I&#8217;m totally sold out is that ideas will be lost if you leave it in a corner of your brain, it&#8217;s much better to write it down and eventually discuss it with someone. I would raise the bidding discussing my ideas not with someone, but virtually all <img src='http://www.javalinux.it/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Stay tuned, I&#8217;m going to post much more regulary, with really brief post, perhaps someone could be interesting for you and you would like to discuss about it in a virtuous circle <img src='http://www.javalinux.it/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
