I've been in silence for some months here, but for a good reason. In fact, on July 20th, I finally took my Master's degree in computer science!! My thesis focused on <a href="services/portfolio/sprintpress/" rel="self" title="SprintPress">SprintPress</a>, a distributed publishing system entirely designed and developed by myself. I added a page describing the project on my portfolio page, thus if you're curios you can take a look at it. Here's a shot of the party cake, too:<br /><img class="imageStyle" alt="apple cake" src="http://www.ziksw.com/files/apple_cake.jpg" width="461" height="308" />]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Exams never end... almost never.</title><dc:creator>info@ziksw.com</dc:creator><category>Zik Software</category><dc:date>2011-03-20T11:16:00+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.ziksw.com/files/04458580f3f6976e286bf3c51b4f34b2-8.php#unique-entry-id-8</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ziksw.com/files/04458580f3f6976e286bf3c51b4f34b2-8.php#unique-entry-id-8</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[I haven't been able to update the site much in the last few weeks because I've been busy with my last exam at university. The good news is that I passed the exam with best marks, thus I completed the course for the master's degree in computer science. Now the last step is the thesis: I will start to work on it very soon and plan to graduate in July.<br />Speaking about the site development progress, I added Services and Support sections, which obviously include new contents but also are the new home for the portfolio page and the legacy downloads page, respectively. I also added a stylesheet for printing and fixed the usual display bugs on IE, plus some other minor changes]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Under the hood</title><dc:creator>info@ziksw.com</dc:creator><category>Zik Software</category><dc:date>2011-02-26T14:10:03+01:00</dc:date><link>http://www.ziksw.com/files/d75019dd6edcfa06ba09279508e73d44-7.php#unique-entry-id-7</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.ziksw.com/files/d75019dd6edcfa06ba09279508e73d44-7.php#unique-entry-id-7</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[After a week of posting new contents, this week I concentrated on improving and refining various aspects of the site, from code to contents and pages layout.<br />I also added addThis buttons to easily share pages, redesigned the &ldquo;stay in touch&rdquo; page (also adding social networks) and made many other small improvements.

There are some projects on the pipeline, but I can&rsquo;t promise anything, since I&rsquo;m also studying for my last exam of the master&rsquo;s degree in computer science and, at the same time, I have two ongoing custom dev projects.<br />By the way, I currently have an announcement, in addition to the new website: I decided to give away my old software for free!! The shareware on this site hasn&rsquo;t been updated for years, since I put quite all of my efforts on custom development. So the apps became outdated and often do not work with modern Mac OS X. As a vintage computing passionate, I thought they could still be useful for people using old hardware and I decided to give them for free. Hence I&rsquo;ve set up a page with download links and unlock serial numbers for all of my old software. You can find it <a href="support/legacy/" rel="self" title="Legacy">here</a>.<br />As I finish writing this post, I notice that this is the second time that I inaugurate my website on February 3: were I mystic, I could think that&rsquo;s not a coincidence...]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
