Tough December

Xmas eve is approaching (and so is the grand presents opening) I so can summarize this December. It's been a really tough month, you could have a proof by watching at how my post frequency has decreased. I'd say: tough AND challenging. As you might have already read I've started with a trip to Budapest for a kick-off meeting on a cutting edge 3D, natural interaction based, TV set to be developed in the next 4/5 years.

My project part (natural interaction) then needed to be written down and properly documented in - ehm - no more then 3 days. I had to thank my wife Barbara for having helped me by leaving the whole house free from baby cries and huggies changes in one of the coldest Sundays of this early winter where 2/3 of the work were done (I previously spent a whole day researching on state-of-the-art algorithms and interaction tecniques).

After that I had to fastly re-focus on development since my team was about to deliver the biggest project we've worked on so far in 2005: the corporate site of the main European manufacturer of batteries, horns and antenna systems, FIAMM SPA. (you can take a look at their previous site here)

The site is standard based and fully driven by our own SimplyCT CMS (in Italian) which was deeply customized following client's needs and requests; the UI was then integrated with both the CT .NET Framework (link in Italian only again, sorry) and the SimplyCT engine. You be the judge.

I'll now be on vacation for a couple of days and then back to work to do some planning for a huge Euro wide interaction design project for a well known household-electric manufacturer (more on this in the weeks coming) and had a look to some other funded research project proposal for a Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research call.

Now it's holiday time. Next post: 2005 presents.
