Computers matter

🕹️ From 8-Bits to 8-Core Processors

In the pixelated playground of the late '80s, Dino Olivieri, affectionately known as "Onyrix," embarked on a digital quest that would shape his legendary career. Armed with a joystick and a zest for adventure, he began his journey crafting video games that were so pixel-perfect, they made even Mario jealous. Legend has it that Onyrix once debugged a game by tickling the code with a feather, but you didn't hear it from us!

🎓 Degrees, Debugging, and Decades of Dedication

The '90s saw Dino trade in his pixelated power-ups for a different kind of challenge - earning a Computer Science degree in the heart of Turin. His graduation ceremony featured a AI driven automatic publishing system for modern newspapers. True story! It was then that Dino realized his destiny lay not only in gaming, electronic music and computer science, but in mastering the entire tech universe.

💻 Tech Virtuoso: Passionate Coder, DB and Framework Fanatic

Fast-forward to the new millennium, and Dino has evolved into a tech virtuoso. He speaks more programming languages than most people have friends on social media. Databases? He's on a first-name basis with them all, from SQL to NoSQL and everything in between. Frameworks? Dino doesn't just use them; he crafts them with a wave of his coding wand. Operating systems? They obey his every command.

🤖 A Hero of the Open Source "Avengers"

As a team leader in the modern technology realm, Dino captains the Open Source "Avengers" ;), a team of tech superheroes that champion the power of community-driven innovation. Together, they're on a mission to make the world a better place, one line of open-source code at a time.

🍝 Respect, Passion, and Pasta

Dino is not a typical code wizard and electronic artist. He believes in the magic of human connection, the power of optimism, and the importance of treating everyone with respect. His team meetings are more like pasta parties, where good relationships and passion for tech reign supreme.

🚀 A Quirky Odyssey in the Digital Realm

Dino Olivieri, a.k.a. Onyrix, has crafted a unique legacy in the tech galaxy. His journey is one of laughter, innovation, and a dash of whimsy. He proves that you can be a tech guru and a fun-loving human being all rolled into one, and that the code to success includes humor, good relationships, and a dash of optimism.

So, if you ever find yourself in need of tech expertise with an artistic and a quirky twist, Dino is your go-to guide. He's been making technology fun for more than four decades, and his belief in the power of good relationships and pasta is truly out of this world!

Dino Olivieri's Studio Setup

I remember the bold old days in the 80s and 90s when I was an apprentice sound engineer in Turin at Penta Studio Recordings. We had the Amek Angela mixer, walls of outboard gear, countless plugs, synths, samplers, computers, and analog instruments. Those were good times.

Some time ago, more than 30 years later, I have completely abandoned that massive collection of amazing hot and fuzzy electronics to set up my personal studio, which is now 100% digital.

All hardware and software are original and licensed. As a software developer, I strongly support my community by always purchasing original software licenses.

Vintage Games

In the digital sanctum of Archive.org, long-lost vintage video games made by Dino during the early 90s are rediscovered, rekindling the nostalgia of bygone gaming eras and ensuring their preservation for future generations.

Over The Net - 1991 - GENIAS - PC VGA

In Over the Net, you can play volleyball matches of 1, 3, or 5 sets, with each set won at 15 points. Teams include the Rollers, CoCo, the Beach Boys, and the Geniases. The side view shows the full court. The joystick moves your player, and pressing fire hits the ball. Letting the ball drop or sending it out of bounds costs a point.

World Cup 90 - 1991 - GENIAS - PC CGA

World Cup 90 is a soccer game based on the 1990 World Cup in Italy. All national teams are included, but player names are fictional.
