I have released the version 3 of the Italian Diceware word list.

I list some links I have gathered in the last months as a result of annoying little aches caused by intensive computer use sitting at work:

• ergonomic mouses
• ergonomic keyboards
• typing behaviour (in Italian)
• repetitive stress injury
• alternating sitting and standing work position: manual movement
• alternating sitting and standing work position: electric movement
• productivity: Multi-Monitor Mounts

Some time has passed since I started learning Vim. I didn’t wanted to use it at work because I don’t think I’m as productive as I’m with the editor I usually use… till this morning.

The following monitoring shows that, in the last semester, ten Italian Regions have reduced advertisement about of proprietary PDF readers on their website, and that a Region has raised increased its support to for Free Software PDF readers.

Yesterday I participated to the JUG Padova 72° meeting with a presentation titled “MUTANTS KILLER - PIT: state of the art of mutation testing system”:

A few months ago I joined Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) as translator (from English to Italian):

We are a community of people who are committed to Free Software. Please join us in our work! There are many ways to do so and you will find a way that fits your interests and skills.

My interests and motivations to join FSFE were various:

• supporting Free Software;
• improving and keeping trained my English (please excuse any mistakes), both in general and in particular about European politics and administrative jargon. Another chance is offered by FSFE mailing lists: it happens to write email to others people around Europe;
• learning Vim practicing on “real articles”;
• improving my typist skills in a healthy way.

Recently I was asked if I would have been interested in getting commit access to the FSFE web site source repository… of course I was :-)

I quickly realized that such repository has more than 15 years history!!! Thus I started wondering that it would have been nice visualizing such history with Gource. In the past I had already used Gource to visualize Parancoe history, a Java meta-framework developed by some Java User Group Padua (JUG PD) guys, but this time I was curious to see how a web site history was different from a framework one.

So I have recorded a 10 minutes long video about commit activity on FSFE web site source repository from February 2001 to July 2016.
