It’s curious how the chaos theory works in my world. Everything keeps happening in a way that only coincidences happens! It’s an unexpected meeting here, a lock there… And what happened in the pat two weeks was no different.
For many years I was following (even from far) the development of the former “JeguePanel”, a servers [...]

I received an e-mail from my friend Danilo Passos (aka |N|NjA|) telling me about the brand new album from the MegaDriver band. For those who don’t know, MegaDriver was created by only one person who began creating metal versions for 16-bit game musics, and at the beginning he did it all by himself. It made [...]

Some time ago I was killing time viewing a famous anonymous image board, when I saw an extremely interesting image. At the moment I didn’t think twice: I saved the image on my machine and then showed to some friends.

When I was going to post on fotolog, I realized that something was missing. Maybe the [...]

I took the courage and finally made it. I wanted to change my site, migrate everything to some CMS, but I had to get much courage to do it… I used to do all things manually, within the HTML and PHP pure code, even after PHP became popular and popped all these great CMS’ which [...]

Yesterday I was talking with a friend from my university, when suddenly he did the question:
- Did you see the  Yahoo Eclipse?
- Hummmm… no… – I began thinking about Eclipse, the development software, but in a few seconds I dropped the idea – What is it?
- This saturday, Yahoo will make a Lunar Eclipse on [...]

It’s interesting how the subjects of a conversation take such different paths over the short time of a discussion. Last night, when I went to the living room to try a Playstation 2 game (Dragon Ball :), I ended (and I don’t know how) having a conversation about the most diverse topics, with a friend [...]

Yesterday I received the results of my LPIC-I exam and I passed it! :) Finally, after so many years not doing because I was lazy… Now in September I’ll try the LPIC-2 certification exams!
Actually, the exam was not so easy as I though. There was some questions that requires you to memorize many things. It’s [...]

After three years “escaping” my willing to do the LPI exams, I decided to subscribe in the exam’s week and do it. The results: yesterday, after sleeping 2 hours-only, I went to do both the 101 and 102 exams at morning. The exams were not so hard to me (and in my opinion), but there [...]

Well, after a really tensious exam, I received the results for the RHCE exam and I passed! ;-)

Yeah, I’m really nervous about this exam tomorrow. Everybody says that it’s a damn difficult exam, and some of my friends that already did it are saying that I can pass it. The Pre-Assesments tests at the RH site says that I can do it, the simulations across the net says it too. But I’m [...]

A new translation on the Fedora Documentation’s mirror tutorial to Brazilian Portuguese was made by Diego Zacarão and revised by me. It is now available under the Fedora Documentation Page at:

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/

Also, I welcome Diego on getting cvs access on Fedora Documentation Project and help us to improve documentation :-)

It’s incredible. It’s addictive. It’s professional. It’s fun!
I’m talking about the game: Battle for Wesnoth. As someone of you already know, I’m doing documentation on various games available in Fedora, and Wart (MichaelThomas) suggested me on doing a Wesnoth review. As I began playing it, I forgot about all things in the world and stayed [...]

I posted this message to the fedora-docs-list (see archive)

Hi guys!
As I’m in the Extras group for Games, we are needing some good descriptions and “reviews” about games on Fedora! We are gathering as much information as possible in this Wiki page:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Games

Later, that information will be migrated to a “Fedora Gaming Guide” here at DocsProject. I’m [...]

First of all, I would like to bring some attention to this post, mostly for Fedora developers, Fedora Extras packagers and people that are in the KDE SIG on Extras. If you are one of these, please read this post :-)
If you already don’t know, with the Fedora installer (anaconda) being integrated into yum and [...]

After 3 weeks, I’m back at my other home in Brasilia, Brasil. I was in vacation at my hometown: Aracaju. Since I’m unemployed now beggining this week (I’m moving to São Paulo next month) I have lots of time to do lots of things, beggining now! To be honest, I’m spending most of my time [...]

While reading Fedora People, I came across Seth Vidal’s post in the Fedora section talking about the Board meeting.
Quoting him: “To think about how fedora can impact people world-wide and not just in our own little corner. Some emphasis on making sure we encourage fedora adoption and help new contributors in china, india and brazil [...]

After ENSOL, I can get to work again in many things. Speaking about the Fedora Project, I had updated the Brazilian Portuguese translation for FedoraFAQ.org, added some mirrors for Fedora download and yum usage. Just routine :) This, plus all the activity on the fedora-users-br mailing list, takes many of my current time (and I [...]

In May 12th, 13th and 14th, the ENSOL happened in João Pessoa, PB, Brazil. It was a northeast meeting all about software livre, and the Fedora community was there to spread the word! The event was a success: it was the first and it had more than 1300 participants and many lectures and presentations. I [...]

Since yesterday I began using everything Qt/KDE. Why? I always liked KDE better than GNOME, and while talking in IRC I realized that using only Qt/KDE would improve my system performance. So I quit X-Chat for IRC and began to use Konversation (I liked it! It’s better! But I have to try KvIRC too). Began [...]

I always liked to package things in RPM, and I sometimes did lectures about doing this (this presentation in Portuguese shows that) in some Brazilian events, where the RPM in community isn’t so popular. I didn’t have time to do this well (When I do something, I like to do it well) but now I [...]
