Book Signing at RSA

After a remarkably quiet flight I landed in S.Francisco: the city of the Golden Gate , the Italian consulate and the theater of this year's RSA conference . I just unloaded on the bed all the swag from the conference bag (very original BTW, love the Turing

Rising

Very impressive! I am sure that this great ranking is also thanks to the readers of this blog... so THANKS :-) Amazon stats are very volatile (I'll make a more detailed post about it), but it's still great. I think this is the best rank we got since publication.

I smuggled a neologism... or did I?

Waiting for a physical copy...

...here there's the best approximation I found (short of a printout, of course, but that would be cheating:-) ). My wife just got a Sony ebook reader ; once we discovered it reads SD cards, we wanted to test it with a prerelease PDF of the book . Looks
