The beauty of an OS or “why do I use FreeBSD?”

I first got internet access in 2001 and had the luck of hearing the word “FreeBSD” just a few monthes later. My friend Luigi, who was at U.C. Berkeley in the 80′s, suggested me to try it when I asked him about Linux and UNIX. I started with 4.2-RELEASE. At first, I was well impressed [...]

Why Apple does not attract (me) any longer

Before Apple switched to Intel technology, I was in love with it. I grew up with the idea that Apple machines were the best and that Apple got it the right way. When I had to choose my first laptop, I choose a toilet-table G3 366MHz ibook, without even thinking. It was 2004 and it [...]

Developing relationships

I’m quite unstable, I admit it. I tend to altern periods of time when I really like going out, meeting new people, staying in crowded places and so on, to periods when I’m shy, don’t feel the need to go out with anyone, barely speak with close friends, etc. Yesterday, it was a nice night, [...]
