My old blog is frozen.

Static and simple, powered by Jekyll (so abandoned, I could not spell the engine name...).

Now I'm focusing on Posterous.

It's really very confortable to email my post.

BTW, do not visit my old blog. Nothing of relevance there (or here).

Cheers,

Pinboard is written in PHP and Perl. The site uses MySQL for data storage, Sphinx for search, and Amazon S3 to store backups. There is absolutely nothing interesting about the Pinboard architecture or implementation; I consider that a feature!

É fazer o mesmo em Portugal, já podiam ter aplicado no Censos no 500, 503 e 505, etc.

Decided to have a go with perl 5.12.

It’s so f***ing annoying going through all the Perl sites with links opening new windows (or tabs)

Step 1: Send us an email address for one of your users.

Step 2: We find the email in our database.

Step 3: We return information on that email.

And then, it's all about personalization.

Be careful with your email address and with what you open. Think twice before clicking anything.

Those who only quote themselves.

Corollary: Ergo, loopback opinion maker never change their minds.

1.     Who’s the programmer that focus only on the user interface?

2.     There is no better RPG, the only better RPG is any language with Artistic License on it

3.     Moving from RPG to JAVA or C# or PHP (a web markup language compared to computer programming languages) is just crossdressing. I was born a fly, but now I’m a shark.

4.     Those who don’t take responsibility never capitalize on current assets. Oh, all my friends use this famous ERP. My golf partners keep telling me to buy only from three letter suppliers.

5.     Well, no architecture can be good. Engineers hate architects, don’t we?

6.     Business driven – that’s bullshit. Many migrations happen for money reasons and no other. What about tech benefit driven?

7.     Short term is what kills good thinking and common sense.

8.     The need to know basis is such an established business practice

9.     Isn’t that the job of the architect? Oh, such nice boxes and shapes and so many ugly arrows and pointers.

10.  I hate movie theaters with marked seats. But I do value a good leader.

Why does he only give references to his own papers?

I was on my wordpress dashboard and got intrigued by the “mature” site characteristic.

By Matt from Wordpress support:

What is Mature? If only it were easy to say.
Lots of profanity - probably.
Some profanity - probably not
A few images of topless women (for it is usually women and western society tends to see the topless man as non sexual generally) - probably not
Lots of images of topless woman - probably
Genital images - definitely unless the blog is educational (and yes, we know the difference between education and not)
Images of mutilation, dead people, injuries, cruelty, killing - definitely.
Combinations of the above - probably
Declaring your blog 18+ - definitely
