some personal updates...

When I wasn't trying to fix my computer I was searching for some random information, like nerd's news and culture, and I faced the twitter and I realize how out-to-date I'm. This one is already a success and never had heard about it. Well I guess I was  living in another world or something like that. Others stuff I find - or to be more precisely, I re-find - was the trilogy, The Gods Must To Be Crazy, and right now I'm in the way to get it and watch all three again.

 

Others things that I have in mind now is, my move to Bolivia. By an my father's ask I'll move - this month or this year - to there and help him with some new business, and that aren't easy this time. I have moving from city to city about all my life, but this time I can't get it easy. I have many friends here, in Foz do Iguaçu and Brazil, and almost all my best friends too. I have a life here, and will be too painful to leave. Well thanks by Internet, 'cause with that will be less too painful. ;)

Fixed!

After a strange week, I finally fix my computer. 'Cause problems in my notebook I can't help Everaldo as I want in your HackWeek's idea. That's horrible and I haven't excuse. By this time I'm making small codes to know more Mono Framework's parts. Now I'm studying compress algorithms like Rar and Zip. I'm developing a comic e-book reader like CDisplay, but in C#. When I finish it I'll post some more info about it. I hope to finish this week.

Novell's HackWeek 2008

Today begins another Novell's HackWeek, and again I joining Everaldo in your idea. Last year we work creating Desklets using Moonlight. This year the idea is bring mono support to Maemo 4 platform and get Tomboy for Maemo working too.

Later I talk more about it. C'ya!

removing the dust...

So, after a while, I come back here. I think, this is because the movies "L'Auberge Espagnole" and "Les Poupées Russes". Some friends told me to watch this two movies about a year, and today I have the opportunity. I just turn on the television and was in the beginning of L'Auberge Espagnole. I confess, I just start to watch, 'cause I want to learn french and like an good movie. When the first finish, the other start 15 minutes later. This I call Opportunity!

Well, if you read this blog, or already had read it and haven't meet me in person, you must think: "Why he don't write here in 6 months?" or just don't want to know. Well, this is my blog, personal and professional(the idea of this blog is, this is my professional blog), so I must write anything.

When I write my lasts entries, I was working in a free software company. So, I think, everything I work there is free and open to everyone. That's the goal, I guess, but the thinks looks like I'm totally wrong. When I work there I was forbidden to write about it, and I think: "Hey, what's going on?" Well others things happens and I quit the job, but Hey! this happens in July, this is not a excuse to not write since June until January. Well, in July I must meet my "Bolivian's girlfriend". She didn't come and I haven't an news until December, when finally she comes online in MSN messenger. This thing changes me. I quit my job a week before the day she didn't come, I didn't come back to my university after the winter's vacations. I, in some words, suspend my life. I don't think today, all this was about she, but all this was about me. I wasn't happy in my job, I wasn't happy in my personal life. I spend many nights drinking and smoking in some pub. I don't know... today I see and think, that nights was awesome, but reminding this moments I wasn't really happy. Despite be with my best friends and some others friends, I was alone, feeling alone, empty. I spend six entire months thinking about it, and I can't realize what is wrong, until now. I like my work, I choose to program 'cause I like this kind of thing, but I can't finish my personal's projects I start.

I just play games, I guess to be in other places, put my mind in other places. I start working on an Git Managed Library in C# to integrate with MonoDevelop, and I suspend the project. I must remove the dust from my brain, from my eyes, and start to getting better, personal and professionally.

Well, this is the why, the meaning.

Looking an few to my future, I must get back to my study, get some work(here or in any place) and have an life, my life. I think start to write more times here, and start to write an Novell( if I complete that too ).

This is all planning and only I can change that's things planned to concrete things. Just me, just it.

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
