And Apple finally did it

That’s it! The day we’ve all been waiting for finally arrived. The hype was really, well, hypey. I actually read somewhere a guy saying that this would be a day he’d be able to talk about with his grand-kids one day. What. The. Fuck. People! Seriously?

Now to be honest I was a bit hopeful, too. [...]

Suquia Creek

Things are starting to get busier on my new project. It is, alas, still listed as Restricted Secret, which means I cannot really talk about its details. Nor could I even reveal its codename, even though codenames reveal nothing about what a project really is. For the sake of making referring to it slightly less [...]

A Decade as a Linux Pro

After I recently accepted my old age, I was talking to some friends who, to their own surprise, found they were old too. We were talking about when each of us started working with Linux and a friend noticed he had been working with Linux for 10 years. That’s when I realized it’s been a [...]

The Grumpiest Post I’ve Ever Written

So today I was called grumpy, which was inconsiderate and uncalled-for, so I did what every stable adult man would do. I complained to the one person who’s required by God and Country to always be supportive: my wife. “Who the hell does she think she is calling me grumpy?” I asked. And my wife [...]

The Delusion of Not Being Deluded

Ever came across someone who wanted to show off how independent and free their own thinking was?  I have, many times.  Discussing with these people is an amusing and yet wretched event.  It’s like goping to a funny dentist.  She may be funny, but she’s still going to bore a deep hole in your tooth.  [...]

Sobre a necessidade de segmentação de conteúdo

… ou porque eu tenho múltiplas contas de Twitter.

Há algum tempo eu venho pensando em como lidar com um problema. Eu gosto muito de escrever. Escrevo o tempo todo. Meus pais poderiam contar sobre como eu passava meu tempo livre escrevendo na velha máquina de escrever que tínhamos em casa. Mais tarde migrei para o [...]

Ubuntu 9.10 pronto para o usuário final?

Há muito tempo eu deixei de usar Linux como desktop. Simplesmente cansou. Recentemente, porém, decidi aproveitar o lançamento do Ubuntu 9.10 para ver como o desktop Linux evoluira na última meia década.

Em primeiro lugar, deixe-me registrar minha opinião de que o desktop Linux evoluiu muito, muito mesmo. Visualmente ele está bastante bonito, exceto pelo [...]

Estadão marcado como site de malware?

Acabei de clicar em uma notícia no site do Estadão e o Google Chrome parece tê-lo marcado como um site de malware. Por que será?

Fora da Curva

Eu costumo ouvir regularmente o podcast do StackOverflow. Em geral, quando fazem entrevistas, estas são bastante divertidas. O podcast é apresentado por Joel Spolsky e Jeff Atwood. Joel tem suas idiossincrasias, mas em geral é alguém a quem vale a pena escutar. O ruim é ter de ouvir Jeff também. Joel é ordens de magnitude [...]
