Being in-between jobs, I needed a cheap laptop to be able to work outside of my flat in my favorite South London cafes. I could have got a nice Macbook or the Ubuntu certified Dell XPS13 (or even a Thinkpad) but these tiny machines don’t come cheap and there is a strong change that I would get a work laptop with my next job matching the same specs. So I’d rarther save a grand for a personal laptop that could get the dust in a couple of weeks.
Hi there. Long time no see. I’ve been busy but is working on getting back to writing :-) Meanwhile I’ve been geeking a bit with Docker.I wanted a practical exercise so why not trying to host a website on it.

Hi! Welcome to my new blog. Yes! A new blog in 2016. As much as I’ve been working with and for media professionals for more than 7 years, both in developing countries and main media, I lost the habit of writing (which I used to have). For whatever reason I never manage to get to write in a 140 characters format, or on a third party branded platform. I need a place I own and control completely.
