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 started my first Italian blog
in February 2003, and opened an English one in october 2005. This
Scribbles space is my latest experiment into micro-blogging. So far I'm
enjoying every second of it!
Personally I'm using Apple software and devices - after some years spent on Microsoft Windows and Fedora / Debian / Mandrake / SuSE / Ubuntu GNU-Linux distro – since 2006 and never looked back.
WORK
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.
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 ride a Ducati
Monster 1200S.
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 having
discovered them earlier in my life).
