Nicola's scribbles

About

Hello from 🇮🇹, 🇪🇺!
My name is Nicola [he, his]. I'm an husband, dad of a wonder, cazzaro, friendly, long time blogger, motorcyclist, comics & computer geek. I come in peace…

I've got a Computer Science degree and work as a technical collaborator (doing ICT support and system management) at the Institute for Biomedichal Technologies [ITB] in Italy's National Council of Research. We mainly use Ubuntu on our servers, Microsoft Windows on the majority of my colleagues' desktops along with some Apple systems.

Personally I'm using Apple software and devices - after some years spent on Microsoft Windows and Fedora / Debian / Mandrake / SuSE GNU Linux distro – since 2006 and never looked back.

I am blogging since 2003, and this Scribbles page is my latest experiment into micro-blogging. So far I'm enjoying every second of it!

Interests

As said in my intro I have lots of interests. I come from a long time foundness of comics (and later on mangas) and science fiction books. Then a passion for informatics begun to grow.

Then a passion for music has fortified itself in me over time. One of my first memories is singing an italian song when I was really really a kid, and a couple of years later I can remember playing with my uncle's turntable and his records. At 10, with a couple of frieds I begun my music exploration and started to discover my personal taste.

In the same period (10 / 11 years) I begun to be in love with motorcycles – did you say Vespa? – and at 17 I finally convinced my father to buy me one. Currently I have a Ducati Monster 1200S.

Currently I'm in love with typography and graphic design, I have no education on them, and I do hope to have time to learn more (and regret not discovering them earlier in my life).
