I'm glad you like them. Feel free to elaborate a 2/3 lines synthesis
of of _why_ they're excellent, if you have time, I may use it in the
"Reference" page I'll soon add to mfioretti.com :-)

The seminar is generally available under CC-attribution-noncommercial
license. Please don't forget to always add a link to the exact
mfioretti.com page which I posted here, because that's the one I will
update whenever is necessary with relevant links, comments, etc..

You're welcome! Please let me know of any webpage or other work where
you quote this seminar or reuse its material, so I can link to it from
the page at mfioretti.com.

I assume you need the original ODS version to get the examples, don't
you? I haven't put that online only because is 5+MB, but if anybody
wants it, just ask for it off list! Alternatively, since almost every
single example quotes the sources, you could just visit those
pages. Whatever is best for you!

Ciao,
