A while ago Udhay suggested that some of us should re-introduce
ourselves. Here I go - though this isn't an "introduction". It's a bit
of a history of how I got involved with Silk in the first place - and a
a bit of news on a recent development.
There are many ways of things happening online. In this case, it started
thirteen years ago. In June, 1996 I wrote a short note on "the power of
stupidity" that was published by "Entropy Gradient Reversals" the US,
picked up in all sorts of places, including a site called Serendipia in
Israel - that somehow led to Silk. I've been lurking, occasionally
writing, in silklist ever since.
In the meantime my work on stupidity expanded in several ways, including
a book in Italian in 2004. The latest development is that now "The Power
of Stupidity" is a book also in English.
It's all online in Google Books - and also in http://stupidity.it
A story of how it happened is in http://gandalf.it/stupid/intro.htm
