Let's start!

Here I am.
I have decided to start two new blogs and, this is the real news, I will take care of them.
For a while it will be a continuous work-in-progress (aka WIP) but I can manage it.
This blog is intended to collect my random daily thoughts about serious and less serious stuff.
Any comment is welcome.
Ciao

Updated on May 7th, 2020    Are you looking for some good alternatives to the lost gigapedia, library.nu , legalreads.com , coinread.com,  bookos.org or libgen.info ?

On the subject education, there is also a new post about the free university courses you can attend online, for free!!! Anyway, if you are a PhD student or a researcher you need to download and study other people's scientific works. For most journals (the most important ones) your institution should have already a subscription. However you'll probably have already experienced that sometimes, you need a paper you cannot download through your institution, pretty annoying eh? So... how can you solve this problem?
