Economy is really not my thing. I really don’t what to know much about anything associated with economy, but this cartoon made me laugh (and think) for a while.
(It’s not mine, I took it from somewhere on the web, and unfortunatelly didn’t keep the author for reference.)
This is a video I received from someone by email… It’s absolutely great. I rolled on the floor laughing my insides out!
Enjoy!…
… home!
Yesterday, I took my camera to the company and just keep pressing the little round button on top of it!
It was a long time ago I did it, and it felt as very good. I’ll have to do it more often… I’m actually considering to trade my lunch for a simple sandwich, and use my lunch hour to take some pictures around Parque das Nações. I bet the place has same great spot to take some quality pictures!
The photo on the right was one of many I took during the journey…
The subject is the escalators that provide access to the train platform. I was down stairs shooting “in the dark” and upstairs the sun was too strong…
Cool, the resulting effect! Hope you enjoy…
For those how don’t know, Rock in Rio is a music festival originally designed in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil (which explains the name of the event). However, it has become an international phenomena capable to move crowds of people in Brazil, Portugal and also Spain.
The last event was in Lisbon, with a well known slogan “Eu Vou” which means “I’ll Go”. So, what I have to say is… I Went!
A. bought the tickets and dragged me and [the little] A. with her. We didn’t stay to the end, because it would be late for [the little] A., but it was a very good experience.
The place was stacked with people, but the sound was good and the stage had huge side screens for the shorter ones [little A.]. I hope to repeat the experience as soon has possible.
Let me just start by saying that “I love to be a computer programmer!”…
Yes, I also enjoy all the other stuff related with computers, but my main drive is pick up a problem, find an algorithm to solve it and then put it to work (programming like craky…)! One way to improve these skills is to solve programming problems.
There’s an excelent site where that is possible and simple. Just subscribe to the UVa Online Judge, select one of many problems available and submit your solution. Problem’s difficulty range from very easy to extremely difficult.
And because not everything is work, here is a software a friend presented me today…
Do you remember the time when you needed to enter load “” 2 to 10 minutes before loading a games? Or the time, when the games came in plastic cartridges? Well, now you can remember the good old times with the Mame/xMame/GxMame projects.
I’m using a debian-based linux system (have you heard of ubuntu?), and all I had to do was
sudo apt-get install xmame-common xmame-tools
sudo dpkg -i gxmame_0.35beta2-1_i386.deb
cp <rom-file>.zip /usr/share/games/xmame/roms/And have fun with it!!!
