I enjoy sharing stories I have read, notes I have taken, or ideas I have logged. Personal productivity, team growth, books, and the Internet are some of the topics I write about.

In February, my gratitude subscription was expressed with a donation ($10) to Johan Sanneblad, lead developer of Notebook Navigator. Notebook Navigator is an excellent plugin from Obsidian that made me fall in love with Obsidian all over again. I wrote that Bear was definitive, and in fact he was for a long time....
In my professional experience, I’ve often dealt with corporate communication. Many users don’t know what an email is, don’t know how to write, don’t know how to reply, or – even worse – sometimes don’t even realize they need to reply. The inability to communicate within an organization, both internally and, above...
One thing about AI is that I use it. I use it for work, but also for personal stuff1. And there’s nothing wrong with that. I also wrote about it here (in Italian): I don’t remember how to do some things that I now do with a calculator, and sooner or later I’ll probably forget how to do things that I now do with an...
Over the past two years, I’ve started this my virtual subscription to projects for which I express deep gratitude. Projects related to applications I use, or blogs I follow, or podcasts I listen to, and so on. I wrote about them for 2024 and 2025. This year too I decided to continue with this habit, but unlike other...
With a toot1 on Mastodon in which he appreciated this post, dear Nicola made me think about how little I put into promoting my professional blog on these shores. Lately – due to a work context that, at this stage of my life, I still consider unstable – I’ve been updating it more frequently than in the past. The...

What are the...
In a recent blog post, Jordan Fulghum noted how, through the use of AI agents via the terminal, the management of self-hosted solutions has radically changed. Today, it’s easier, faster, more convenient, and even more fun to install and configure utility, monitoring, or productivity applications. The approach Jordan...
One thing I wanted to say, regarding my last post. I am not a pessimist, and I do not want to imagine any kind of block on artificial intelligence tools for supporting creative work or development. On the contrary, aware of my past mistakes, having experienced defeat, mortificazione and frustration in my youth, I...
As a boy I was a freelancer for many years. I built and sold websites. I did it like a craftsman: I designed the layout with Macromedia Fireworks, refined it with lines, shadows, and reflections, and then manually converted it to HTML1. Then I used my own CMS, built from scratch with my own PHP framework, to make it...
In an post from a few years ago recently republished on his blog, Lionel Dricot compares the “American dream” with the European one, the economic benefit that characterizes American technological production and the community and social benefit of the European one (read Linux, VLC, the Internet itself or the World...
