The black hole…
After a friend (thanks, Smash) presenting me Bootstrap, I decided to give it a look, as it might be interesting to bootstrap new projects design quickly. Given my lack of design qualities, having somebody doing it for my is great. To test Bootstrap I chose to do a redesign of my personal website, that was […]
Today I waste all my afternoon trying to solve a problem with Perl versions and DotCloud. I say I wasted the afternoon because I could not solve the issue during the afternoon, only in the beginning of the night. Enough complain, and let me explain what was going on. Yes, this post is a little […]

But it is a good approach to add some style and usefulness to XML without […]
I really would like to know what is the time to live (TTL) of Google indexes. This blog of me changed design and back end in July (OK, end of July). We are in the beginning of February. Being a nice boy, this counts as six months. And, after six months, I still have lots […]
Just found this captcha from the Public Knowledge Project a great idea. It not just removes the necessity to render a image as it works on text browsers like Lynx or Links. I am tempted to start using this kind of Captcha in my sites. Just need to check if there is any patent about […]
Received today the invitation to join Google Wave project. Sincerely, I had no idea about what was Google Wave when I asked a friend for the invitation. But Google has nice projects and I like to know them (and use them when I think they can help on my everyday life). I did not have […]
