Hello there & welcome to this weblog!
WHO AM I?
My name is Nicola Losito, and I’m a married, male, southern italian guy, born in 1974 with a Computer Science degree. I love spending my spare time with my wife, goin’ around with motorbike or reading some science-fiction book, comics, mangas or some technical magazine.
WHAT DO I DO ?
After getting my Computer Science degree back in june 2005 I’ve teached “applicative software” to dumb people {with the help of a Sign Language interpreter}. Then I’ve started a part-time job as ICT consultant for some architectural & engeneering studios. Then, in january 2007, I’ve started working at C.N.R. in a bio-informatics group. My role is to maintain up-&-running our servers on which websites, wiki, bio-applications and related web-services runs. I’m also “ the help-desk” guy.
Anyway I’m constantly searching for other job opportunities to improve my skills and wallet 
… So have a look at my LinkedIn profile
When I’m not working you can see me hanging out on the web…
ME AND THE WEB (2.0)
kOoLiNuS.net
Currently my principal web activity is to run my own domain kOoLiNuS.net which hosts my italian blog.
/home/kOoLiNuS
In october 2005 I decided it would be fun and interesting to open a blog opened to worldwide audience, then in january 2006 I’ve moved here on the WordPress.com free blog hosting service, which I find to be almost perfect if you want to concentrate on contents and keep the maintenance work on the bare minimum. The initial kOoL Solutions name was born due to a trick with my nickname and the “Cool Solutions” site from Novell … at the time I was really into openSUSE and actively posting about that topic. Then I’ve moved away from openSuSE and set it to the one you see in the title now.
EVERYTHING ELSE
A summary and more up-to-date profile of all my web activities is available here: http://claimid.com/kOoLiNuS or on the About.Me profile widget in the footer.

I LIKE FREE SOFTWARE
I’m a member of Italian Linux Society, Association for the Free Software and also and a member of my local LUG: LUG Bari the Italian Linux Distro Network Association. I’ve also build up a collaboration with italian nanopublishing network Blogo.it on their Free and Open Source Software blog: OSSblog.it.
I follow some Linux & Free Software oriented mailing lists and collaborate to the portals, the forums and some of the projects run by the ILDN people. With them I’ve created and moderated the only suse & fedora mailing list available in italian.
Also I go back and forth with the Ubuntu community, the CentOS, Mandriva and the openSUSE communities in my country. Currently on my servers I run CentOS and on my desktop I run Fedora starting the transition to Ubuntu.
… comics
I LOVE comic books and strips … occasionally I write about them on my italian blog and tried on two different domains to keep up a more focused and organic approach, for now those experiments are closed. Today I’m contributing to an italian FriendFeed space.
… and Apple computers & operating systems
At the end of june 2006, due to techical unavailability of any other personal pc at home (GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows baded) with the leftovers of my earnings I have buyed a white Apple MacBook. Since then a Macs have become my primary computer.
