OK. So on the about page you’ve (maybe) read some basic informations about me, in this page now I can present myself a little better.

WHAT DO I DO ?

After having teached the basics of “applicative software” to dumb people just after my laurea degree, I am working at C.N.R. in a bio-informatics group since january 2007, maintaining systems on which bio-applications and webservices runs and managing an help-desk like for my colleagues for all that’s ICT.

I am also doing some (basic) system administration and ICT consultancy for Bari’s offices of a national services’ firm.

My curriculum vitae are published in the LinkedIn and Xing’s network. You can view it clicking on the buttons down here:

When I’m not working you can see me hanging out on the web….

My Web 2.0 life ??

Currently my principal web activity is to run my own domain kOoLiNuS.net which contains my italian blog.

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 WordPress.com free 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 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.

A summary of my digital life is available here:

I LIKE FREE SOFTWARE

Last year I’ve become 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.

But at work I’m into CentOS on the servers and Fedora on my workstation.

Comics

I LOVE comic books and strips … occasionally I write about them on my italian blog and tried (unsuccessfully) on two different domains to keep up a more focused and organic approach, for now those experiments are closed.

Apple computers & operating systems

At the end of june 2006, due to techical unavailability of any other personal pc (GNU/Linux and Microsoft Windows baded) with the leftovers of my earnings I have buyed a white Apple MacBook and I am happily using it since then as my primary machine.

else …

If some spare times becomes available I love spending it on motorbike or reading some sciencefiction books, comics, mangas and some technical magazine.
