About the author

Hello! I’m Marcello Barnaba, an Italian computer nerd, born on April, 11th 1981, currently located in Rome.

My interests range from Software Development to Computer Networks and Security, from Maths to Physics and Astronomy, Sociology.. more generally, anything that’s Science related. I do not endorse faith-related thinkings, and I’m hardly capable of remembering something if I haven’t fully grasped the inner workings of a system (of any kind).

I could define myself as a strong follower of the Hacker culture and its way of thinking and open-mindness, but I regret being referred to as a Computer Hacker, because I know that “my wisdom is limited to an awareness of my own ignorance” (Socrates’ principle).

I may be referred to as a Geek or Nerd, and I’m very proud of it :).

I’m a strong advocate of the Open Source Movement and Culture, I try to spend efforts in Open Source software whenever possible.

My favorite Programming Language (ATM) is Ruby, I use to write software also in C, C++, Perl and PHP.

In last months, I’m practicing as a journalist, going around for tech conferences, writing everything I hear, and then putting up the recaps here on my blog. I also tweet and share bookmarks for humanity’s sake :) because «sharing is caring»!

Have a good time here on sindro.me, and don’t forget to leave your comments!
