The black hole…
I’ve seen the book The men who stare at goats at a bookstore, and although I did not watch the movie, I read the synopsis at the end of book, and it seemed interesting. It was easier to find the movie, and it takes few time to watch the movie than to read the book. […]
I just ordered this smartphone. I know it is not Apple. I know it does not run Android. I know its operating system is not open source. But, what can I say, I got in love with it. I think it quite interesting to add the solar panel. Not sure about how good will it […]
Yesterday night I watched ‘Cheeky!‘, the English dubbed version of the original italian movie Trasgredire. As you might guess from the poster at the right, the movie is full of nice girls, without clothes. Given that, I will try not to comment on the sexy or erotic side of the movie. Yes, I should have […]
I will not detail anything about TEI. Sorry. I would just like to let you know that every time I need to work with any TEI subset, I find myself amazed with the quality of their documentation and the details they thought on before writing the standard. Sometimes I just get to me thinking… do […]
For some time that this movie is in my queue to be watched. Not because I expected a great movie (I didn’t, as some people warned me before), but because of Jessica Alba swimming around in the ocean. And let me tell you that, if it wasn’t she and her friend Ashley Scott, the movie […]
This afternoon I want Candy. Being more clear, I watched “I Want Candy” comedy, with Carmen Electra as a porn actress. The movie is fun, there are some nice girls in it, and it has Carmen Electra. But let I say you now, that after watching the movie, no, I do not want Candy. I […]
I teach XML, DTD and the like, and I teach (or show and make students use) CSS for XML. It doesn’t work properly on all browsers, it doesn’t work consistently on all browsers, it doesn’t do everything web publishing needs. But it is a good approach to add some style and usefulness to XML without […]
Today I watched “Jennifer’s Body” movie. It is cataloged as Comedy and Thriller. I can’t understand why “Comedy”. “Horror” would be more appropriate. I know it is not anything really frightening. But it is not a comedy as well. I did not laugh once in the movie. OK, enough about the movie classification. That might […]
I am kind of allergic to relational databases. This is mainly due to the confusion on configuring servers, creating the schema, associating privileges to users and all that administration stuff. That is why I got fond of SQLite as soon as I knew it. No servers! No users! Just a file with a set of […]
I installed Thunderbird 3 a while ago. But before posting about it I thought it would good to test, check its new features usefulness and then, yes, post some comments on it. Today I decided to do the post. For that I visited the Mozilla website, searching for the top features for Thunderbird 3. They […]
