This is a list of (some of the) conferences that I have been to and have been able to live-blog.
Be aware that these are not proceedings, not objective reports of what was said, or not even faithful lists of topics covered at those events.
On the contrary, these are personal notes, taken on the run and filtered by (a) what I understood, (b) what I was interested in, (c) what I did not know and was worth noting down and (d) what I was able to type at that time.
With all these caveats in mind, please read and your own risk and, maybe, enjoy ;)
