about me

I'm Ruggero Barsacchi and hrod.org is my personal photoblog. I live in Volterra, a small village in the centre of Tuscany, Italy. In 2005 I graduated in Computer Science (Tecnologie Informatiche) at the University of Pisa with thesis on "Cooperazione Applicativa", developing an Open Source framework called OpenSPCoop.
In 2002 I have founded a web agency and I work here as a programmer.
For the moment that's all!

donation

The photography, that it is much expensive, and the continuous increase of the web traffic are raising the costs for the maintenance and the development of this site. That has been stopping me from adding new features to the site (like desktop wallpapers, photoshop tips,...). Any donation will help this site to grow. I will try to continue evolving the site as much as I can regardless, so the donation is totally optional.
