  1. Friday May 8th in Rimini was magical. We spent months imagining Rubycon 2026. Then the day came, and it became real. This video tells that story. Thanks to everyone who was there.

  2. Great morning of talks, a proper Italian lunch, and now we're back in the room for lightning talks. The afternoon is on.

  3. Rubycon 2026 is live from Rimini. Room packed, first talks underway, and the energy is something else. A few stolen shots from this morning.

  4. An outrageous claim and the rabbit hole that followed

    After the trip to Genoa, I went to Rimini, on the other side of Italy, and visited the Italia in Miniatura theme park because it has a monorail. A simple loop around the park, with one station about as far from the entrance as it’s possible to get, it was a fun way to view the detailed scale models of famous Italian buildings below. But one thing caught my attention: a claim that this was Italy’s first electric monorail. Now, while the park was opened in 1970, the monorail wasn’t added until 2001 or so. This claim is somewhat dubious, when you consider that, not too far away, the Mirabilandia theme park had an electric monorail that operated between 1992 and 2019. Another theme park, Gardaland, has had an electric monorail since 1990.

    So, what was the first electric monorail in Italy?

    Well, Expo ’61 had an ALWEG monorail that was essentially the same as the one in Seattle.

    One of the stations still exists, but my trip to Genoa reminded me that this isn’t the first electric monorail in Italy by a long way.

    The “Italian Colonial International Exhibition of Marine and Marine Hygiene” in 1914 had a quite impressive monorail, known as the “Telfer”, running along the seafront. A poster from the time describes it as a “Ferrovia Elletrica”, so definitely electric! After the exhibition closed, the monorail remained in use for a few years moving coal and goods around.

    During my visit, a friend and I tried to trace the route, and see if anything remained. Unfortunately, the way was blocked by a small military base, but we did find the spot where a large arch had been smashed into a building to allow the monorail to go through the Stella Battery.

    Roger Farnworth has written an excellent, copiously illustrated, article about the Telfer, so I will simply refer you there: Genoa – a Telfer

    And that is, probably, the first electric monorail in Italy. The only earlier monorail I know about is a steam-powered, cable-hauled one that went up Mount Vesuvius.

  5. Eine #Frecciarossa in #Rimini gesichtet, fragt mich nicht nach Details zum Modell, bin nur Fan und kein Experte 😉. #TrainSpotting

  6. Once again, the #TreniDelMare to the seaside in 🇮🇹 are running. These are regional train services on weekends that cover exceptionally long distances without needing a reservation, like #Bergamo - #Ventimiglia or #Como - #LaSpezia.

    New this year: the region #EmiliaRomagna provides direct regional services between #Milano and #Rimini via #Ravenna. Travel time Milano -Ravenna is about 4h.

    Note: the new train services are not shown in Hafas applications

  7. Beautiful weather for takeoff from Federico Fellini International airport in Rimini area (Italy) “LIPR 060650Z 35003KT 270V040 CAVOK 27/20 Q1012” : See what it means on bigorre.org/aero/meteo/lipr/en #rimini #italy #federicofelliniinternationalairport #lipr #rmi #metar #aviation #aviationweather #avgeek #airport vl

  8. #Interrail day 4/7: unfortunately I have to leave #Rimini, but thanks to #Nödbroms I could sleep longer as the #train station is only 7 minutes away by #bike 😃
    I took the slower #frecciarossa to #Milano (3h), as everyone takes the fast one leaving some minutes earlier. In #Chiasso the #ECE150 was 30 minutes delayed and pretty cramped, but I managed to get the perfect place for my #brompton though they didn’t show which place is reserved before departure.
    First class then got cramped in #Lugano

  9. #Interrail day 3/7: from #Mannheim to #Rimini. Due to the bad weather I had to cancel #Gdansk shorthand, but as no reservations are needed to #Chiasso I could just enter the #train and then take a short ride in the #R80 to #Milano. On the go I managed to get the reservations for the #frecciarossa and after a nice afternoon at #CastelloSforzesco it took my #brompton and me to the beach 🏖️
