Machu Picchu

I and some friends are planning a travel to Machu Picchu in Peru, in January we will get ours backpacks, buy some bus tickets and enjoy the life "On the Road", in the better Jack Kerouac way. Do that will the great thing ever in my life. Actually the group are, me, Claudita (my girlfriend), Olimpio (one of my best friend), Clau (Olimpio's girlfriend), Gi (a friend from Rio de Janeiro) and Carlinha (friend of Olimpio and Gi). We will post everything in another blog, in portuguese, in this link. I will post something here too in this poor english.

Well, I'll stay here in this post... c'ya!

resolutions...

Today I realize how much professional I must became. Thinking I realize I'm not doing what I want. I want to became more developer then student, this mean, I must work more and better then just talk about things, ideas, works.

That thing comes to top of my mind when I talk today with Everaldo, he is really a developer, he don't have fears to face a new project, to work with something that made he come days after days without sleep or some more mortal thing. I have many project ideas, but the really is, I'm too lazy of starting something, and too lazy to finish that projects. In the most times I always find some more "important" to dedicate, and with that, not to work. Some of that is really important things, but don't help with my goal. I must center more my concentration, learn new things, helping more the community, programming, helping my future.

One of that ideas is develop a tool to help theater things, like sound and light, in a play. Reading Monologue, being more specific a post about the 3 core pillars, task control, version control and tests, I realize I never use a methodology to generate automatic tests in my projects. I must learn more about unit test, more about generate feature specification (good feature specification, like Edney - my friend/boss always told me). I must learn more about english to write better too. As I said, I must get a focus and getting better everyday.

Some news... I come back to theater, our first time in stage was a sucess, and until now we got 5 presentations. The play talks about relationship, the comic side of relationship.

Well, I'll finish that post here. C'ya!

updates

After many days, I'm updating my blog. Many things happen in these days, like, I finally receive my money from SoC 2006, I have travel to FISL 8.0 in Porto Alegre with my notebook, I start working with Heartbeat in a cluster solution, I almost finish the application( that was in my work, with a great team ), now I'm writing the specification of the other thing to finish that application( the heartbeat thing ), create some patchs to qmail and vpopmail to a friend ( I'll post the links soon, when I finish some thing with maildir ), I have learn many things in Mono ( and have muuuch more to learn, thanks Everaldo ), and start another project about RPG with Mono ( I hope that project I continue... ), and many other things...

As I said, I finally have a computer, after 8 months and 8 days, I buy one. Is a HP Pavilion dv6040us and almost everything is working in linux (openSuse 10.2), just the Webcam I can run, but I'll soon... ;)

Well, I'll stay here, later or soon I post more thing here... c'ya dudes! :D

Let the Game Begins!

My classes have began, and many times I can't wotk. My work need more attencion, and that is complicated, but I'm work on it and the things are getting better. My attention on other job is now close to zero, I guess I can get another SoC project, yes, another SoC have began and I still get my money. I guess this will never happen. Well, some other day I post again, c'ya!

some news...

This week my bank manager come back to work, he was in vacacions, and now he will be able to see if, finally, the SoC money come to here, and with that I'll buy my notebook and start to work more on my personal projects and help some friends in other projects.
My work in Prognus is going very well, it's some kind of test, and I guess is going great. I have finish a module and now is the documentation time( you know, documentation in code, documentation in trac... that kind), and when I finish I'll start develop another module of that project, this week I'll talk more about that project, but now I guess I'll sleep a little. :)

c'ya folks!

change of plans...

So, I haven't go to São Paulo. I have find a job here, in Foz do Iguaçu, at PTI (Itaipu's Technological Park), in a opensource solutions company, named Prognus. My work is with development, but no with Mono/C#, without problem, 'cause here I can work in my personal projects when I'm not busy doing company things. I already know my co-workers, and some are my friends, so I guess will be great work here, and the best thing, I can still study in my degree, 'cause my classes are in PTI too.
This is really an year of changes/moves, and until now the things that have change are goods, and I hope so keep in this way :)
Now I say "c'ya" and I will go back to work, so... c'ya!

new perspectives

This week I was invited to do an interview in Sao Paulo to work. I had make a merge of qmail' patchs to that company, and now I'm working on a patch to add the funcionalities of that merge into the qmailadmin. In about two weeks I'l travel to there and get a formal proposal. I'm still studying, so that must to be a good one to pause the university get the job.
I'm still without news about my money from SoC, and my development partner are travelling, only when he come back I'll get news about that, and with a lot of luck I'll be ready to buy my notebook and start all that kind of thing you can't make when you aren't in your computer.

The travel was great, with almost all reagents to a great new year, a lot of beer(not to cold but ok), a lot of pretty view, and a nice hope of happiness ( No es verdad Claudita? :)

So I guess this is a year of changes, moves and all that gypsy thing that me make in a better mood.

C'ya!

traveling...

I'm in Bolivia now, visiting my daddy. He's working here about 5 years, with construction, siting in Tarija in Bolivia, and this is the first time visinting here. Is a nice city, with a lot of pretty womans, and nice beer.
In cafes the beer isn't real cold, that was the only wierd thing I had see. The weather is pretty nice too, not too hot, and with a cold wind at night, that's a perfect combination in vacations. I got nice photos from Andes, later I post some here.
Now I say goodbye and tomorrow morning I'll be in the way back to Brasil.
