Dear lazy web, this is my first attempt at publishing a selection of links I’ve recently bookmarked. Those links came to my attention mostly thanks to my twitter account. I’ll try to publish such a list every week (on sundays). Feel free to suggest me links either via Twitter or through this blog (comments are welcome).
If a topic emerges from all the links I’ve bookmarked, I’ll put it in the title of the post, like you can see, this week, the trend topic is “Security”.
So here we go, happy links and if I give no news until then, have a good week.
