After 2 weeks of waking up just in time to miss lunch, tomorrow might kill me….
My last day of vacations and what am I doing….? coding perl…. I’m weird!
Trying out APIs from some social networks. The open source ones still seem a little behind, but they’ll get there.
If religion is the opium of the masses, then football (soccer) has got to be the crack-cocain… at least in Portugal.
Got back from watching “Hellboy II: The Golden Army”. In the same lines as the first one. I liked it.
Jaiku moved to Google (the cloud)… could this be one way to solve the problems twitter has been having for the past months?
Watched “War, Inc.” Nice dark-ish comedy, some good actors. And I always buy John Cusack as a hitman…. don’t know why.
My first home-made ethernet cable seems to work!! Its a bloody (because I actually bled putting the connectors on it) miracle!!
Making your own ethernet cable can get bloody… just trust me on this!
I’m watching the twit guys overclocking to 4.4GHz at nvision 2008. Watching it on http://live.twit.tv
New apple craze on the horizon?! I’m hearing a lot of chatter about new iPods on September 9th.
…but it’s done. Now lets just hope it isn’t broken somewhere… That would suck!
Passing ethernet cable through an old house is really troublesome!
Walt Disney’s “Enchanted”…. Some parody jokes about the genre. But, for the most part, a wast of time.
If Macau produces so much wealth, why didn’t Portugal get any of it while it was under portuguese domain?
“Gotham Knight” (animation). Nice short films around batman. In the same lines as Animatrix, but with more connections between the films.

Playing around with luks on my Laptop’s Xubuntu 8.04.1 install. how long a passphrase should I use?
When for a walk in O’Porto today, got to know a little of the downtown streets. It was a nice day.
Finally getting around to installing Xubuntu 8.04(.1) on my laptop.
gmail’s imap access is borking. If you can’t rely on google…. This cloud computing thing will never work.
Going around town with a shirt that says “Big Fat Hacker” is really really fun. People make the oddest expressions! Thanks Albie!!
After (almost) 2 days of resting (and vegetating around the house)… I going to get some exercise! Clear the streets!!
I hate it when Ping.fm hiccups on me doesn’t post a message and responds like everything is ok… grrrrr
Watched “Everything’s Gone Greene”…. Didn’t get it. Maybe my brain cells are on vacation too.
Starting to read “The Definitive Guide to django”. Hopping to learn something new.
I am now in complete Vacation mode…. haven’t done anything remotely productive all day… feels kind of nice!!
Back from a 3-day weekend at the beach. The weather didn’t always help, but it was nice anyway! Back for more vacations at home. What to do?
Off for a weekend of R&R (offline). See you all Sunday evening.
This afternoon I washed my car…. and now its raining….
deployment tools are driving me crazy. Great way to start my first vacations in 2 years…
Watched the british movie “In Bruges”. Sad story about hitmen, great comic moments. Overall a very good movie. Highly recommend!

Posting to ping.fm from the command line. Using the “mail” command.
This is just a test,
Saw some posters for the movie “Red Sonja”. Something to look forward to in 2009. Reminds me of the game “Heavenly Sword” for the PS3.
Looks like Debian is the distro for me… http://ping.fm/L0DAN what’s yours?
Some spell checkers are just too smart, or try to be…
“The Covenant”. Mediocre acting, very basic plot, decent FX. Every one is good looking. Don’t need to turn on the brain cells for this one.
Hacking some “Strange” Perl code…. it’s been a while…
Only when to sleep at 3am because of a kitten. Not feeling very animal-friendly.
Saw “Invincible”. Quite good for an underdog movie.
Middle of August and its raining…. WTF?! (I live in the northen emisphere)
bought Counter-Strike Source on steam. A little over 8€ doesn’t have any effect on my conscience.
Tried to watch “The Fountain”. So boring I oculd not get past the first 20 minutes. Next time, perhaps.
Dear Santa, for next Xmas I’d like: http://ping.fm/HXIhL
Watched “Speed Racer”. Funny, but not much more than a hiped-up pre-teen movie. Wachowski brothers, stick to what you know!
Thought of the day: I really need some R&R.
watched “Eragon”… Feels like half a movie. Medieval movie with ending credits to the sound of Avril Lavigne WTF?!
trying out brightkite… looks like all the other micro-blogs, nothing new.
Once more into the CSS dear friends, once more.
