I am writing this from Catania, in the wonderful Sicily, south of Italy.

I am working with some smart software guys in ST Microelectronics, which you should know because is one of the biggest semiconductor producer, and you probably have one of its chips somewhere in your phone, PDA, or pc.
It's why this place is called Etna valley.

I'm just in a room in front of the swimming pool, and I'm working with a high speed network connection (not a wifi one, they have ethernet too). And tomorrow I will speak with guys who implemented (years ago, before Spring had momentum) their own Inversion Of Control framework to better serve internal applications.

Look at some shots of the hotel and here at Etna.

If you are envy, I can understand... so, I seriously advice a working vacation here
