I had four or five NCIS icons, too! Which were created before Christmas but since right now I’m too disgusted by the show I’m not going to ruin my site with them. Pity, some were cute (obviously the ones with only the actresses, not the one on the episodes which were two anyway).

I still have CSI (the original) but I don’t have the will power right now :D

I added some nature icons:

]]> http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/06/28/weekly-fave%e2%80%99s-2/feed 4 Exam and News http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/06/26/exam-and-newsesame-e-notizie-cittadine http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/06/26/exam-and-newsesame-e-notizie-cittadine#comments Fri, 26 Jun 2009 18:32:55 +0000 *Ra - cafe owner http://eiencafe.com/?p=1844 First of all I have to say that I have an exam next week so I don’t really have time to post, plus I go to Oropa next Sunday but the weekly fave’s will be there, so don’t worry for that and if I pass the exam I’m going to post every day from that day till the end of July when I go on holiday.

Now the bad-ish news (no, I’m not talking about Jackson). Today a 62 year old with depression problems run over my ‘town-mates’! They were in a swimming center in Bergamo province with the Grest (which you probably don’t know what it is seeing that it is an Itlaian thing… practically all children and guys of a town go to the town Oratory to have fun, do some activities and play and once a week they go to this swimming center) while they were in the parking lot near their bus. Now a boy is really hurt and the other three girls have scratches and haematomas alll over. The man run from the scene but then he went to the Carabinieri and said ‘I killed people’! Ok, he had problems in his family, he attemped suside right before the accident but still! Kill yourself and leave the other alone! Moreover the officers found knives, an ax, an iron rod etc in the car! Totally out of his mind… Rot in hell please.

Then a kid (2 years old) died last week in his house swimming pool always in my town… Now I don’t know if it’s black magic or some sort of spell on my town, but please! Some positivity!!

For the site I began the new layout but since I have to study something I don’t really like I’m very slow.

Yesterday I finished to change the brush (and fractals) page so now every brush set links to a page where there are some examples (and so the fractals, now they are like the textures page ;) ) and… I finally added something new! Yes! Thanks for clapping your hands :P I added a pack of 12 fractal textures.

]]> http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/06/21/weekly-fave%e2%80%99s/feed 0 I think it’s done… http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/06/19/i-think-its-done-penso-sia-finita http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/06/19/i-think-its-done-penso-sia-finita#comments Fri, 19 Jun 2009 20:20:14 +0000 *Ra - cafe owner http://eiencafe.com/?p=1706 I think I’ve finished translating the site :shifty: … It took me a lot and after I deactivated the old language plugin I found out it added a div to my link page!! And I was freaked out X( because it worked a moment before… and then, poof… nothing :?: (of course I stopped freaking out when I found out it was the plugin…) so I changed the bookmark template again, now it works (can’t believe a plugin add a div!! but not a <div> and </div>, gosh no! only a </div>! now I understand why I had to erase it from the template, gee!)

So if you find some errors please report them! I tried to look at everything but I’m only human :P not an alien :smart: :grin:

]]> http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/06/19/i-think-its-done-penso-sia-finita/feed 1 Need another revamp… http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/06/12/need-another-revamp http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/06/12/need-another-revamp#comments Fri, 12 Jun 2009 09:40:12 +0000 *Ra - cafe owner http://eiencafe.com/?p=1363 Hello everyone… When you have no time ‘bad things’ happen… With the new version of wordpress some plugins don’t function properly so until the authors of those plugins work on them (bless you all, you really do a great job on them) some pages are yuck… Please be patient… And now I have to convert all the italian pages (53 tutorials!!) with another plugin because the one I have doesn’t work… I have a tutorial ready to post but I can’t until I have the italian translation ready… I’m trying and see if I can post it with the new plugin and keep the old ones with the other plugin, if there’s no conflict I’ll let it be for the time being (since I have exams at the university…) then little by little I’ll try to convert everything.

I even decided to erase some plugins becuase I’m not sure about them… Pray for me please… :P

Later –> Ok, it’s more complex than I thought… So right now I have both plugins but I had to ‘erase’ the flag where there is a transaltion… The ‘important’ things are tutorials and they have a direct link to the English or Italian page, the rest is not that important, I mean if there isn’t an Italian version for now. So I think I’m ready to post the tutorial but I need to translate it first so maybe I will post another ‘later’ later :P

Later 2 –> Added the tutorial ;) Gee! It didn’t work!! and then I found out I missed a tag! What a looser…

Today I went to my lil’ cousin Sofia, she’s so cute! and sociable ;) She’s growing too fast…

Lucky bastard!! and Ive finished the tutorial about styling links.

I think it’s the shortest post ever…

]]> http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/06/07/tutorial/feed 0 Back but not really back http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/06/04/back-but-not-really-back http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/06/04/back-but-not-really-back#comments Thu, 04 Jun 2009 17:43:41 +0000 *Ra - cafe owner http://eiencafe.com/?p=1311 Wow, one post in all May… what a lazy butt! Well I didn’t just stop, something potentially bad happened and I didn’t have the willpower to enjoy my site (that and if you add the shitty ending of NCIS, my mood took really a dive for the worst but I’m not going to talk about that stupid TV show anymore). Now the potentially bad news which weren’t bad at the end, are over and my mood increase a bit from those good news (no, I’m not going to tell you about them in particular that is my life and I don’t post about personal facts). So here I am!

As from June 2 I started some wordpress tutorials, my hostee, Emilia, needed some help so I said, why not? So I created them and I’m writing an HTML tut now which will be ready in a few days.

‘Not really back’ in the title because classes are almost over so soon I will start exams and I need to focus on them so I don’t know how much time I can spare for my baby (the site).

Later

Not much happened, I did made the screencpas but seeing that I really don’t like where it’s heading the show I don’t think I’m going to bother my site anymore. if you need them just tell me.

Did you watch CSI:NY? It was wonderful!! Now I know someone is going to die at the end of the season but if it’s not my fave characters, I think I’m going to switch to that show again (sorry but NCIS is too disappointing… first 10 episodes were good, then it took a dive for the worst, but big worst).

Yeah, it’s Labour Day but my mother is spring cleaning…

Yesterday I went to a new mall and it was so cool! The ‘new apperance’ is wonderful and it’s not difficult to find like some other malls and I didn’t get lost! I went to the chocolate shop and I practically melted there! Geez, I wanted to buy the whole store! (Yeah I’m a choco-holic…).

That’s it :D

It’s been almost three days since it started raining and it never stopped! Tomorrow I should go to Milan to University but Gosh! I don’t want to go with a boat! So I think I won’t go… Then it’s May the 1st which is holiday and there’s no class this Thursday so I think I take this week for myselg :P

Hey aren’t those cute?

hope they hatch soon :P

Well gotta go, if internet connection isn’t down tomorrow I’ll post the screencaps even if I know I won’t like those four last episode of NCIS, but I’ll finish to cap the season no, I’m not going to finish them, will see in September if I’m back… (yeah, right now I’ll not be back, NCIS is dead)

]]> http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/04/19/weekly-faves-3/feed 0 How was the week end? http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/04/14/how-was-the-week-end http://eiencafe.com/lang/en/2009/04/14/how-was-the-week-end#comments Tue, 14 Apr 2009 09:23:45 +0000 *Ra - cafe owner http://eiencafe.com/?p=1136 Mine particularly good ;)

On Sunday I went out to have Easter lunch to a restaurant and the food was so good! I am picky, but I really eat a lot anyway! There was something which I don’t know the English name (well not even the Italian name…) and that king prawns as hors-d’oeuvre or starters. Then green gnocchi and rise with muchrooms and scallop. Of course I didn’t eat the second course because I don’t like meat too much and there was the lamb with cheese cornmeal porridge and feeled up squids. And then the wonderful dessert! Mascarpone with wafer and fruit! Wonderful! of course the ‘dove’ which is a traditional Italian ‘cake’ for Easter which had the shape of a dove.

Then my wonderful cousin came here and reinstalled Windows so now my computer is fine and healed from herpes ;) and it was his birthday, too…

Yesterday, Easter Monday was holiday again and we had lunch together with my relatives again eating some hors-d’oeuvre, ravioli and tortelli, some meat and the ‘lamb’ which is a cake (just like the dove, it’s a traditional Italian sweet) made with puff pastry and confectioner’s custard. Wonderful!

Today I went to return the RAM because they didn’t work for my pc and to take the modem which stopped working three months ago so they changed the RAM to the right ones and my pc is super fast now ;) and the modem was resetted thanks to a power surge (so it wasn’t broken). Now I’m happy ;) Still have to download Nero for my burning DVDs but I don’t have to burn anything till the 28.

And I’m going crazy with the Easter Egg Hunt at Unicreatures :P hope to get more today :shifty:

Later!

They were able to find a 98-year-old woman who was in her bed knitting! She seems fine and talkative. Another girl was extracted from her destroyed house after 23 hours and she’s alive. The students’ house came down… It is really bad when you go to a city to have a culture and then it bites you in the ass… And the earth keeps shaking…

Iran wants to help… please don’t make me laugh!

Update: Another video from CBS:

A girl from NCIS Italian forum is in l’Aquila right now because she has relatives and she says that what is seen on TV is nothing compare to eyewitnessing it.
