Change.
Monday, February 4th, 2008“All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.” ~ Anatole France
Finally I did it. I changed the long name of my blog, from “Developing, programming and computer science” to “Recalling the lambda notation”, with the subtitle “I was a student of computer science in Pisa”.
Most of you do not understand, but some of you will do.
Why I chose this name? Because sometimes, when I am working, I think at that time, when I was a simple student of computer science.
The anxiety caused from the waiting to read the text of the exam, the trepidation during the passage of the list of results, the crucial moment passing through the door thinking “the die has been cast”, the last night before graduation…
But it was an experience that has changed me forever.
Still today, occasionally it happens to me to relive those moments. Often I and my friend jokingly talk about this (words like “I saw the ghost of <theacher name>” or “I like the exercise of the thumb” [1]).
More to come…
