Good morning, would you be so kind as to create an image for a software startup that deals with decoding of biological parameters of plants in the field of research on local anomalies of the entropy field. The name is banasoft, the logo a banaba flower and the location on the island of banaba. I would like if it could be very elegant and simple, playing a bit with blurring some image in the background. Thank you very much, I wish you a day full of new ways to combine your parameters.

A collective server network could provide the connective tissue to sustain the various individual software and data bubbles. On the other hand, I do believe that it is important to begin to conceive of computation as an effective form of energy storage. The result of long calculations, the solution to the problem, is itself the concentrate of this energy, as if it were a charged battery or a piece of wood that has stored the sun’s energy by building up an intricate latticework of atoms to form cellulose. In this case, however, we are not talking about the conventional energy we are accustomed to and which does not escape the laws of thermodynamics, but rather, about energy produced, stored and transmitted through the field of entropy. Every calculation, whether made in one’s head or calculated by a supercomputer, leaves its imprint on entropy, slightly disordering the wonderful universal chaos. Often when I install a photovoltaic system, I summarily calculate the millions of watts the plates produce that will not be used because the batteries are full and no one is home. Wouldn’t it be great if each of these installations had its own little server ready to turn excess electricity into computing power? Maybe connected to a decentralised network, an honest and immutable blockchain to calculate together with all the other servers our impact in the chaos. I would like to set up a solar VPS hosting in the Alpujarras. I’ve been hacking for a couple of years with the kids in a school near Orgiva. We plan to set up a solar server there next year.

«Un orso di mare ha ventisette vite. Di tredici e mezzo delle mie vite riferirò in questo libro. Sulle altre, invece, tacerò. Anche un orso ha diritto a certi lati oscuri: lo rendono più interessante e misterioso.»

Penso che un sogno così non ritorni mai più
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu
Poi d’improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito

Volare oh, oh
Cantare oh, oh
Nel blu dipinto di blu
Felice di stare lassù

… I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.
