Starting the blog

It is my intention today to start a blog on my experience as researcher specialised in the documentation of endangered languages. The idea comes from a discussion of the boss of the company where I still work waiting for the start of my next postdoc research on Bayso and Haro, two endangered language of Ethiopia. Once I told him that I actually am one of the few specialists of Ethiopian languages he replies “and what are you doing here, then, working as a heldesk computer technician? You must be famous all around the world thanks to what you do and how you share your work worldwide with you blog!”. I reacted like, you are right, I should have a blog. I want to share the interesting things I do and get to know experiences from other researchers. I will do now that I can go back to research leaving the helpdesk job that, yes, allowed me and my family to survive, but it is not what I actually do best and I want to do. It was a nice experience, any way. On Thursday 21 June 2012 I quit and concentrate on my research activities and, among other things, to this blog...Ciao!
