Did you ever tried to do man something… and the manual pages are simply not installed in the machine?

Now there’s a quick solution. Just use the online manpages, available from the Ubuntu Documentation.

Some Suggestions…

∇ Music | ∇ Deolinda, Dona Rosa, Music, Nouvelle Vague, Suggestions |

I like to listen to music while I work, because it helps me to concentrate. The other week some one suggested me some stuff that was very different from what I usually listen to.

Let’s start with Deolinda, a young group that presents excellent Portuguese popular music (a kind of neo-fado).

Another good suggestion is Novelle Vague with a lounge kind of a sound. I Just love”Too Drunk To Fuck”…

And finally, the last suggestion for today is Dona Rosa. This blink lady lived in complete poverty during 20 years as one of the many beggars of Lisbon. With the help of an Austrian producer, she got a record deal with a German record company. Singing Portuguese popular music, she shows the world her unique voice. Here’s a video of her singing in a street show.

∇ Event | ∇ Exhibition, Photography, Wildlife |

Although loving photography, specially when focusing on nature, I tend to miss most opportunities to visit photo-exhibitions installed nearby. Usually I know about them just after they have finished or when it’s totally impossible to unschedule some other event. But this time I just passed in front of the entrance and could go without entering.

So, I spent almost two hours marveled with the Shell Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2007 exhibition, installed at Freeport. Visit online here.
