True to the proverbial "feather in the cap", I have been promoted to committer with the project I have been participating on during the last few months, Apache Derby. There's not much to say except that it feels really good to have your...

So! It's been a while and I come back with nothing but sad and unhappy stories.
As perhaps some of you knew, my team was one of the UK finalists in the Microsoft Imagine Cup competition. As fate wanted, we did not win. We came home, not empty-handed...

That’s right folks, despite not having given hourly updates on my trip to England, I am finally here; safe and sound. The trip was quite on the wire but everything just fit perfectly. The flight arrived a little bit late which meant we had to rush...

Today, I bring you something that happened with me recently and that I think it is worth sharing.
As some of my readers may know, I applied for a Master’s degree in Advanced Software Engineering at the University of Leicester. As of a couple of...

Yesterday I assisted to the 3 E3 main press conferences by Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony. Lately I haven’t been such an active video game player as I used to be some months ago, but now I’m feeling that during this year and the next one I’ll come to my roots Microsoft XBox 360 From Microsoft...

As a Firefox user, one of the extensions that I can’t live without is Userstyles . They allow me to remove tons of ads and format some webpages that I use in my daily life in the way I want. A few months ago I started using IE8 as my main browser in my personal laptop. And very happy about it because...

Yep, the title says it all. Today I have received my shiny new VISA from Citibank with the initial $505 loaded on it. The other kewl stuff in the envelope included a neat, Google-branded, moleskin and two GSoC 2009 stickers. One’s going on my laptop...

Alright people, this is really happening . Today, I got the final acceptance letter from Leicester’s Postgraduate Department. They provided me with a conditional offer where the only condition is that I finish my degree with at least 65% of overall...

I know this post comes a little late and all but I still had to mention it on my blog. It turns out I am repeating the stunt again. After being turned down by Google last year, I decided I would try to apply once more this year.
Since last year I still...

… because while reading my RSS feed subscriptions, there are a lot of news that are fake (clearly), and someones that I can’t tell if they are.

I am certainly not. My life’s about to get shaken up a little and I am going from idleness to a rather busy period, or so I believe.
At this point I have decided I will be applying once more for Google Summer of Code. I applied last year and sadly...

No outro dia fui ao Media Markt de Sintra para comprar um pack de 4 pilhas recarregáveis. Encontrei um pack da Duracell a 14 euros (ou 13.90 e tal, whatever). Ao lado estavam um pack de 2 pilhas a 6 euros. Portanto, 6 euros x 2 packs (2 pilhas cada) = 12 euros 14 euros * 1 pack * (4 pilhas) = 14 euro...

Yep, that is right indeed, I have one of such babies. Privileges of being a Microsoft Student Partner huh? It does have its downturns as well though, such as when I go out of my house, there’s a massive crowd waiting to get my autograph and to interview...

Today I got access to the new Hotmail interface. Pretty, but lacks the usual icons. I feel lost. The icons were a great help on finding what I needed. Now I just have to read the labels… I’m not feeling as a happy user right now… Keep it simple, but not too simple.
