I'm a freelance/entrepreneur currently living in London, UK. I've done several interesting (and less interesting) things in the last 10+ years, as employee, freelance and entrepreneur in Italy, Germany, the UK and US.

At the moment I'm working as a freelance, doing architecture reviews, performance assessments and development in Java, Ruby and Javascript. Trying to improve my node.js knowledge.

My website is http://www.diotalevi.com

    Sure, you raise good points! I'm also in doubt whether to put more work on it or leave it as it is.

    yes, but Craigslist doesn't give you "your website" to organise the garage sale. The idea is to let people create and customize the website, specifically in situations when they ne…

    that's great! i can't login though. Better, I enter my login credentials, but I still see the "login" link (instead of the logout).

    I also have the same need. I tried silentale.com a while ago, but abandoned quickly because it was unbearably slow and missing some basic features. Currently trying networkhippo.co…
