The black hole…
...my black hole...
In the last days I have been developing a Restful API for Dicionário Aberto. While Dicionário Aberto is a dictionary for the Portuguese language and therefore most users are Portuguese I prefer to describe the API here in English. You can use a JSON or XML approach. URLs are the same. You can just change […]
Jonas Nielsen twitted about Book Hunter, a Mac OS X application to organize your library. It is cool because you add the ISBN or title, ask it to autocomplete, and it fetches all the missing information from the Web. I did this to some of my technical books (not all, yet), and I discovered I […]
This graph was prepared after a talk by Enrique Alfonseca, from Google Zurich. He shown usage of Google tools for various Natural Language Processing tasks. Probably I will post about some of them later. For now, here is a simple graphic of Google Trends showing Halloween, Christmas and Easter trends. Do you think it is […]

Yes, I normally pass a long time without seeing a movie, but when I start it takes some time to end. Hehehe. Kidding. This time it was Max Payne. You know, I played to some of the Max Payne games and I liked them. Not because it was just another first person shooter, but because […]
I am trying to get rid of a spammer twitter (pigeonpoll) for about four days. Look at the following image. That is what happens. I say I do not want to follow it anymore, and twitter says, ok, you are not following pigeonpoll anymore, but you are still following it. Just because I got enough […]
I see so few movies that I can not remember last time I have watched a movie. Today the hot outside, the air conditioning inside, and the lack of will to produce anything made me watch Push. This is not the kind of movie to be watched by people searching for goofs. There are a […]
