My real name is Bernardo Boncompagni. I was born in Florence, Italy, on November 12, 1970 from Paolo and Stefania Grazzini and before reaching age 13 I had lived in Pistoia, Livorno, Rome, Arezzo, Modena and Milano following my father's career. In 1995 I graduated at Politecnico di Milano in chemical engineering. After military service, I started working and in 1999 moved to a gas manufacturing company based in Monza where I live since 2000.
[edit] Hobbies and interests
I love cats: I usually find them a much better company than most humans. My first cat, a black-and-white female named Micia, accompanied my life for a decade and a half during my studies: she died a few days after my graduation. In 2000 I found two newborn twin cats on the street and I took them home: I named Tal Rasha the black male and Lut Gholein the turtle-scale female after a hero and a city found in the Diablo 2 videogame. They have lived happily with me eversince.
[edit] Computer science
After graduating I never actually worked as an engineer: I started instead my career in quality management systems while exploiting my programming skills, which I developed as a hobby. After a short while, I started earning a living as a programmer.
[edit] Mathematics
I always saw programming as a tool for mathematical research. As an amateur, I cooperated in several projects, most of them involving number theory and specifically prime numbers.
[edit] Videogames
As a side effect of the (ab)use of my time on a PC, I soon found myself entangled in videogames. I played all Blizzard's games since Warcraft and became recently addicted to MMORPGs: after devoting some time to Star Wars: Galaxies I am now playing World of Warcraft and its expansions.
[edit] Personal beliefs
[edit] Politics
I have been actively working in the PDS (later DS, now merged into PD) for almost a decade, then I left the party but kept a left-wing view which led me to vote for them, for other parties in the Ulivo coalition and later for Sinistra Democratica. During my political campaigns in the late 80s and early 90s I gained the nickname Red Golpe.
[edit] Religion and philosophy
I am an atheist who embraced Laplace's deterministic point of view about God and nature.
