It is finally here... I spent almost 3 hours clicking every button. I haven't even touched the manuals. They are still wrapped in plastic. I just unpacked the camera, checked everything was in order, stuck a lens in it and the batteries and started messing around with it. So far everything seems very intuitive... It's 01:40 AM, and I think I'm taking it to bed with me

I am hooked on hattrick. I have a team and I'm doing rather nicely. I'm second in my league and I'm playing for the first spot next week. I don't think I can make it and get promoted, but hey, this is fun anyway. I keep searching for players to reinforce my team, but the one's I can afford aren't much better than the one's I already have. I promoted a couple of good kids from the junior academy and I hope they can turn a good profit when I sell them. The main reason for this post is to gripe about the lack of tools for the academy. There are many tools for the senior players. I prefer HO, but I guess others are just as good. HO developers say they are actively working on version 2, curiously known as HO2. But it sure is taking a long time. Meanwhile I am quite happy with the current version. If only it would halp manage my junior academy. It is getting quite hard to remember where the different playes played their best. And whenever a new kid is hired it becomes necessary to shuffle the whole team around in order to find the best position for him. Someone told me about tomattrick . I tried it but after a few games it won't budge and urges me to become a subscriber. It's not expensive (12€ per year) but I'm pissed they didn't say anything about no limit when I first joined. If they had, I might not have joined, or would be now paying their price. This way they won't get a peny. I started using a spreadsheet to write down the current positions. Why oh why won't Hattrick let us have an API for the academy like they do for the senior players?
areis 2008-01-02 00:59 Canon Fotografia New camera photography
I need to get a new camera. Been trying to resist the urge... But I'm giving in. I've found myself looking at camera sites, stopping when I spot a store's window display that has some camera's in it. So I guess I'm doomed. Options: A Canon DSLR? The "old" 30D or the all shiny and new 40D? I started with a 300D and really like SLR's. On the other hand I would like something easier to carry and a lot less inconspicuous, not to mention much less expensive. I like Canon, and have had no issues with their equipment, so I'll probably stay with Canon. Gotta have a look (and check how they feel in my hand) to Canon's non-SLR camera's. Powershot G9 perpaps? It sure looks good in the pics :) Got food for thought now....

I know, I know... It has been a long time since I updated this blog. I had 'kinda' forgotten it... Today I was upgrading my trusty old 'vectra' (Been postponing doing that too) and I remember that my last post here had been about upgrading to kubuntu 7.04. That prompted me into remembering the old blogger pwd, and try to come up with something... Well here it is... I now am running an all Kubuntu 7.10 shop. 1 fujitsu-siemens laptop (really belongs to my employer); 1 quad-core box ... 1 old, old pentium box so far :)

Saíu recentemente a versão 7.04 do ubuntu . Esta versão tem o nome Feisty Fawn, e como a versão indica foi lançada no mês de Abril de 2007. Passadas duas semanas decidi fazer upgrade ao meu PC. Limpei as caches dos browsers, descarreguei os mails, e fechei as aplicações todas, incluíndo um servidor mysql... Apenas com uma consola aberta, matei 2 processos do BOINC que "comem" o CPU todo, e lancei uns: # sudo apt-get update Depois, com tudo arrumado lancei um: # sudo adept_updater Já não havia updates para fazer, e ele lançou-me o aviso de que havia uma nova versão, e eu mandei-o instalar. Fez o download de uma série de pacotes (alterou automaticamente o sources list para o feisty) e passado cerca de 20 minutos, começou a instalar as novas versões. A meio parou várias vezes dizendo que ia substituír um ficheiro customizado por mim, e dando-me a escolher se queria preservar a minha versão, ou aceitar a nova. Na minha janela de consola, fazia rapidamente um:

O site tem andado um pouco descurado. Eu sei. É que tenho andado ocupado com outras coisas... Não. Não são as desculpas habituais. É que fui desafiado a iniciar um outro projecto. Disseram-me assim: Tu, que lês tanto, não eras capaz de escrever um livro? Eu? Era lá capaz disso... E, pensando bem, porque não experimentar? E vai daí comecei... Logo verei como acaba... Para já está-me a dar um grande gozo :) Ainda não sei é que título lhe darei.
