PhD a vulcano of feelings

Well this post is being written during my flight from Milan to Heathrow. I spent the last 3 days in Sicily/Italy talking with Giampaolo Bella and his students in University of Catania.

I can say they were really nice to me. Specially Giampaolo that in the beginning was a bit unsure about my ideas for the PhD, but in the end he told me that it could be nice to implement this as an extension of the inductive method. It was a relief, since I believe that Larry doesn't understand fully what I want, but he did. He also did something I was not used any more: he took me by hand and made me see good things and bad things I have been doing lately. In reality I felt that he was expecting a genius, and found just a mortal guy.

Either way, I gave a talk over there in Italian, and it is here:
