The Scent of the City
A morning walk through Ferrara becomes a journey through scent and memory - from London coffee to a grandmother's market, from ancient hospital corridors to the unmistakable perfume of fresh bread.

The Scent of Freedom
A rubber keychain shaped like a foot, a Piaggio Zip, and the sweet, terrifying taste of independence.

179 Euros
A 179 Euro purchase in 2010 seemed like a splurge. 16 years later, that appliance has survived moves, earthquakes, and snowstorms, becoming a silent witness to my life's changes.

The Doctor's Eyes
Curious minds never grow old. Their fear isn't aging, but running out of time to learn.

Arrivals and Departures
A sleepless night, a thought about the day I arrived and the day I'll leave.

The Weight of a Millimeter
A distracted driver, a motorcycle crash, and the terrifying wait to see if I would ever walk again.

The Magpie
A bird’s noise is enough to bring back memories of months spent half-trapped because of a magpie.

Ok... I think it's the right day to post a new article on my-notes. It will be called "The Magpie".
It's coming later today.

The Mechanically Perfect Lie
A loud noise outside my window brings back a memory from 2002. The night I truly could have died.

The Universes Behind the Lights
A small domestic 'crime', a cold night walk, and the mind starts to wander...

Between Then and Now
Sometimes I need a refuge. A refuge far away in space and time, remembering those who are no longer here. Like yesterday night.

The Two-Pound Lifeboat
A passport photo slips from an old book on a rainy Christmas afternoon. The memory of a week stranded abroad with nothing but a two-pound paperback for company.

The Gray Teacher
On a gray winter morning, memory drifts back to an old classroom, a stern teacher, and the thin line between mist and humidity.

Just an Old Sign
The waiting room was full, but a forgotten sign made me feel suddenly alone. Revisiting a moment when life happened all at once, leaving marks that took time to heal.

This Isn't a Battle
After reading a post describing the FreeBSD community as 'toxic', I share a different perspective. This isn't a battle. It's a reflection on coexistence, the original Open Source spirit, and the quiet richness of taking a different path […]
Your Exit Strategy Dream Is My Customer Nightmare
I found a promising tool and reached out to the founder, ready to invest and partner up. I was met with a wall of silence. It crystallized a feeling I've had for a while: for many, the exit strategy dream is a nightmare for customers who […]
"Where have you been for the last 20 years?" - The question that changed everything. This isn't a BSDCan report, but a personal reflection on how impostor syndrome stole decades from me, and why it's never too late to find your community and live life fully […]
The Azores High and the Symphony of Pistons
...I could hear the late spring birdsong, the warm air caressing my hai... er... face, the peace of a Saturday afternoon. All of this was continually interrupted by car noises […]
I've just finished writing a post for the 'generalist' MyNotes blog. It's definitely personal, and writing it was emotionally intense. But tomorrow morning, I’ll publish it.
