I don't think I've listed to Italian charts for a while...so here we go - this week this is #1 in Italy Despacito by Luis Fonsi ft. Daddy Yankee Verdict: Nice beat.  I could do without the Autotune though ;-)

STO is down for maintenance.  Last night the First Contact event was hard to get into, which I assume is one of the things being looked at.  I loved this patch note today:  Resolved an issue where the Heavy Escort Railgun was healing enemies instead of damaging them.  Healing your enemies would make for some really long battles - but this gives me a good idea for a console:

Sort of reminds me a bit of the Voyager episode... (original archive here)

Χτες σχόλια για την Βοστόνη, σήμερα για το βατοπέδι :-) Σκίτσο, μέσω φέιςμπουκ, για τα νέα της αθώωσης των κατηγορουμένων στην υπόθεση.

Είμαστε και στα νέα (για καλό όμως;  Ή τα κάνανε μαντάρα οι μανατζερέοι;)
