🎂🔥 Today is the day. I’m 60. Final episode is live. 🔥🎂Title: “Happy Birthday… and What’s Next?” Tone: British comic (Jerome K. Jerome + Douglas Adams + one Monty Python coconut), curtain call by Shakespeare—because “the readiness is all,” even when the cake looks like a small volcano. What’s inside (swift, silly, true): A birthday roll call (turns out 25 August is a crowded cake). “What else happened on 25 August?”—from Paris breathing again to Voyager waving from very far away. My Chinese zodiac lap reset: 60 years later, back to Wood Snake. Yes, apparently I’m a strategic reptile with…

🎂📚 Countdown to Sixty – Part 4 is live 🌍🎸 Tomorrow is the last one of the series, so enjoy today’s penultimate ramble while the cake defrosts. 😅 What’s inside (no spoilers, just crumbs): How a Valentine’s Day misread in Mexico taught me that meanings change by postcode. The Shenzhen Metro puzzle: Chinese/Cantonese/English station names that are not twins… cue several heroic wrong exits. Home life in Itanol (Italian + Spanish), with strategic Japanese nouns and the occasional sentence that forgets which language it started in. Choosing family over the travelling-manager life, on purpose. Health as a strict teacher: I…

🎂⏳ Countdown to Sixty – Article 3 of 5 ⏳🎂Two days to my birthday… and only two more articles to go. If you’re tired reading, imagine writing them. 😅Today’s episode is a boardroom western:“The Genius, the Charlatan, and the IP = Instant Pizza Manager.”Think Sergio Leone meets cybersecurity, narrated with a wink to Jerome K. Jerome, Douglas Adams, and a little Monty Python coconut to bonk nonsense on the head.In 40 years I’ve met them all—in tech and in real life. The Genius who quietly saves weekends with a boring, perfect restore. The Charlatan who repackages yesterday and sells it…

🎂🧠🎸 Countdown to Sixty – Part 2 is live 🧯🛰️ Birthday countdown update: T-minus a few days until I officially qualify as vintage hardware.I need to publish this before age hits the Delete key on my short-term memory. Today’s topic? The single toughest obstacle to decent security: human stupidity—not “not knowing”, but not knowing while loudly pretending you do. In forty years I’ve watched Web 2.0 deliver a cultural revolution (not a technical one): everyone became a publisher, the algorithm handed out megaphones, and confident error went viral. Add developers racing deadlines (hello COM+ era turning off security to ship…

Here we go. Today marks the beginning of my birthday countdown: four long rants (sorry, “reflections”) before the inevitable day when I officially turn 60.Now, you might think this is the time for solemn self-congratulation, tearful gratitude speeches, or perhaps a LinkedIn-friendly list of life lessons beginning with “Always…” or “Never…”. Forget it. At 60, I’m too bald to bend, too old to pretend, and too sarcastic to play the game of polished self-branding.This first chapter takes the shape of an ikigai autopsy, with me lying on the dissection table while four Japanese circles argue over whether I’ve wasted my…

Amici, colleghi, concittadini e voi che siete qui per il puro piacere di scrollare, confessiamocelo: viviamo in un mondo dove la serietà è spesso più un’arma che un valore. E non parlo di quella serietà che ci fa consegnare i progetti in tempo o pagare le tasse. Parlo di quella seriosità imposta, la stessa che fa inarcare un sopracciglio di fronte a una battuta, come se il destino dell’universo dipendesse dalla gravità del nostro post. 🤦♂️ C’è un tipo di persona, e ahimè ne incrocio fin troppi (spesso nel mio stesso settore, che triste ironia!, e sia qui che su…

🤖🚀 Managers vs. AI: Will There Really Be Only One Left?Are you already weary of doomsday predictions proclaiming, “AI is going to replace us all!”? 😱 And amidst the digital revolution, have you stopped to wonder: “Hang on, what about all those managers?”If you’ve pondered this conundrum while sipping your morning cuppa (or found yourself side-eyed by an algorithm lurking near the biscuit tin 🍪☕), my latest article is precisely what you need!I’ve tried to clarify (and poke a bit of fun at) how Artificial Intelligence may impact the various “types” of managers: from those who merely carry out orders…

🚨 E quando l’IT te dice “tutto sotto controllo”, ma in realtà ce stanno a smanettà i cybercriminali! 🚨 Regà, ve siete mai chiesti che succede quando i Remote Monitoring e Management Tools, sti aggeggi che dovrebbero aiutà gli IT a fa’ er loro sozzo lavoro, finiscono in mano a chi nun ce dovrebbe mette ‘na pezza? Ve dico subito: è ‘n casino peggio de quanno te scordi la password e manco te ricordi er nome der gatto!Questi software dovrebbero gestì i sistemi da remoto, ma li hacker se li pappano come er panettone a Natale.

🚨 Breaking News: Er Giggino de la contabilità c’ha cliccato n’antra vorta! 🚨Hai formato i dipendenti. Hai messo ‘n piedi ‘na sicurezza da paura. Hai attivato l’MFA. Eppure… qualcuno c’ha cascato de nuovo su ‘na mail che prometteva un iPhone 15 a gratis. 🎣Benvenuti ner magico mondo de la sicurezza cibernetica contro er fattore umano, dove l’unico firewall veramente efficace sarebbe ‘na botta de sano scetticismo.Dall’email co’ l’eredità misteriosa a TOAD (no, nun è quello de Super Mario, ma ‘na truffa che unisce chiamate e email pe’ fregatte), i cybercriminali stanno sempre ‘n passo avanti. E se pensavi che l’MFA…

per chi mi segue su X sa che di tanto in tanto mi diletto a mettere post assolutamente ironici ridicoli e falsi fino al midollo (e in questa ultima accezione preferiti da Musk). provo a riportarne qualcuno degli ultimi sperando possa sollevare un sorriso. esiste anche una versione inglese analoga (ma non uguale) molti sono identici nelle 2 lingue ma alcuni sono specifici per una audience che, tradotto, significa alcuni sono per i lettori di gringolandia, alcuni per le italiche genti ed alcuni per tutti. quando si parla di sicurezza in Italia si fa sul serio: 30 set 2024 BREAKING…
