I was born in Ticino (the southern part of Switzerland where people speak Italian) in 1974. I lived there until 1993 when I moved to Zürich to study computer science at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.

After graduation I joined the Laboratory for Software Technology under the supervision of Prof. Thomas Gross to work in the field of compiler construction. I defended my thesis Approximating the Worst-Case Execution Time of Soft Real-Time Applications in March 2005.

After working for three month as as a compiler engineer at Freescale Semiconductor in Schlieren, Zürich, Switzerland I joined in November 2005 the Information and Communication Services of the ETH Zurich.

Since May 2008 I am head of the Web Applications and Identity Management group of the Information and Communication Services of the ETH Zurich.

Since October 2010 I moved to Bern.

comment How to mv dot files without including the parent directory on linux/mac?
This will work in most of the cases but will ignore files and directories beginning with two dots. For example ..name or ....name.

comment IP is not pinging by other system
You need to provide more information if you expect other to help. The question is also not clear: what do mean? Which machine is able (or not able) to ping what?

comment How do I exit an SSH Shell?
The example you give has nothing to do with messages. You are connecting to a host with SSH to a non standard port. In most cases you will get a shell. If the server is configured to use a special texting program as a login shell you need to give us more details.

comment will this installation succeed? if yes, will this failure make trouble to my system?
You can tune the mirror's list but as the system is able to choose the best one you can also use the default settings.

Are you sure that the content of G11 is "APPLE"? How is the cell formatted? Could you post a screenshot with the edit focus on G211?

comment How to download Google Doodle for offline usage?
I think that since the OP asks for "usage" he wants to download the interactive doodles (as the ones for the Olympics)
