Some days ago I read an interesting post on Webomatica. I’d like to show you one of the passage that hit me:
As J Leroy advises, don’t blog angry. Many a time I have written a really annoyed and sarcastic email, blog post, or comment, but just before hitting “publish,†I’ve realized I was just ranting - and rethought what I was about to make public on the web.
So I started reading some old posts, some of those I wrote when we still were in Italy. They were full of anger, of pain and bad things and feelings mixed together. I was writing from my stomach, vomiting out every single thought that was passing through my mind. FCHouse has been the repository of my thoughts, the place where, writing my anger, I was able to calm myself… but this wasn’t good for the reader.
Sorry.
In the last months I have changed my style: I do not write from my lower body, I do not write because I need to scream. I write calmly (quite always), trying to use my mind, trying to make this blog an interesting place, maybe a place where to discuss about everything. This has been reflected on the number of visitors, on the quantity, but especially the quality of the comments and of the visitors.
I hope that you, reader of this little blog, will find something interesting, useful of funny here, because this is what I have become since my move in London. I have found my peace again.
Thank You, Fabiana. Thank You, London!

Hey… it’s interesting to hear that in some old blog posts you have the experience. I only have been blogging for under a year so I haven’t had much “angry”. Maybe for a really personal blog like a diary it’s okay. but yeah you are right I come here mostly for the interesting technology stuff…
Anyhow I now use the wordpress draft feature a lot and also, when I respond in the comments I think a lot about not just writing off the cuff!

Hi Jason,
Probably you have never lived in a country where you are the black sheep… :D
I’m still deciding what kind of information tomorrow FCHouse will contain, but I think that, evolving every day, also this blog contents will evolve continuously! I never make long plan for it, because I try to keep it aligned to my actual interests, in the hope these will be the interests of my reader!
PS: before clicking the “Post” button I usually read my post once more. Maybe it’s just for checking the grammar, maybe asking myself what the readers will be able to get, maybe to act more rationally! :P
PS: and sometimes, as my fiancee love to show me, my grammar review are not that good! :P
