My Ubuntu desktop, on an Asus EEE PC 901:

Take a screenshot of your desktop right now, don’t change anything, post it on your blog.

After some tribulations, I’ll really be attending the Rage Against The Machine gig in Lisbon, at the Optimus Alive! Festival.

I was almost not going, but since I got hold of a couple of free tickets (thank you, Optimus), I’ll be there.

Eleven years later, in the exact same place where the Super Bock Super Rock Festival took place in the 4th of July 1997 (in the Passeio Marítimo de Algés), also with Rage Against The Machine.

Seems like Google has finally updated their Gears Firefox extension to work with Firefox 3.

Nice.

Lastest campaign by Nokia: Get Out And Play.

Looks like it was filmed in Lisbon…

Fedora 9 is looking awsome!

I’ve been trying it for a couple of weeks, and it’s getting better by the hour.

Two niceties:

• Encrypted system volume with LUKS, at install time;
• 3G connections (with my Vodafone 3G card) just works; it just really works; I just clicked “Auto GSM network connection” on NetworkManager and it worked; pure magic here, people.

I used Ubuntu for everything until now, but I’m seriously considering going back to Fedora.

A long time since my lsat post, and back to Portugal, a sad note. Arthur C. Clarke has died in Colombo, Sri Lanka, a few hours ago.

Here I am in Germany. After a few days in Berlin, where I stayed in an youth hostel, which had no WiFi, I travelled to Bremen, where I will stay during the visit to CeBIT. I finally managed to get online. I was hung over for conectivity…

Berlin is wonderful and I was actually sad to leave it. I still have to look around Bremen, but it also seems nice. Most people don’t speak english, so it’s harder to get around than in Berlin.

Going now…

Youtube seems to be down for a while…

One may wonder what is happening, but the OpenDNS guys seem to know what really happened.

Hah…

Update: the whole story…

This is a test post, being written from my new Nokia E61i.

Wordpress could have a “light” post page, but the regular one seems to be working (despite having ~250kb).

I’m using WiFi, so I don’t know how this would work using GPRS or 3G.

By the way, I’ll be going to CeBIT next week. Yay!
