Only two more hours and I’m off for vacation in Portugal. Yes, I know it’s only one week, but I guess I’ll have to make it count So, starting tomorrow, I will be enjoying some proper summer weather in the hot sands of the Portuguese beaches (see picture ) along with everything else that can [...]
I love the simplicity of it and, besides, one can post blog entries by sending an email and it can notify all my services like twitter (even post the same on other blogs), or add the included pictures to flickr automagically. I'll give it a try and post my remarks later By the way, let's [...]
So I have been thinking, for the past few weeks, on what should I make of it. My conclusion was that a good way to start would be to provide a way to aggregate all my online statuses and activities, like twitter, brightkite, blogs, music, etc. and go from there. So, as a prototype, here’s [...]
First the bad: – My secondary screen goes black (and comes back on) everytime I start any application; – Evolution says I have -7 unread messages; – The latest kernel makes my screen go black and I never get to see anything (suffice to say I’m using the previous kernel now); – The pc speaker [...]
I just found out that there is a brand of rum with my name (“Pedro”). Shouldn’t I be collecting royalties?
…is proving to be more difficult that anticipated. The good news is, once it’s completed, I will be back to my full creative potential
1. Perseverance: Anything you start, make sure you pursuit it to the point of exhaustion. Only then you will feel the full satisfaction of a complete try for the best; 2. Happiness: No point in being successful if you don’t enjoy it; 3. Luck: Yes, fortunate or unfortunately – like most things in life – [...]
Never **ever** drink coffee **ever** again. I need all my creativity and mental awesomeness back.
But as it turns out, a lot of things I observe in my life also apply to other people. I’ve known for ages that sleeping 9 hours a night was a real boost in creativity and now I see people starting to relate things, in science terms. So, I guess I should write more often [...]
I found myself thinking about live lately, and decided that it was a good time to sit down and write some good things about myself. Whether you call it egocentrism, narcissism, self love, self awareness or enlightenment, in the end, it serves one and only one purpose that matters to me: To keep realizing the [...]

…and, of course, this generated all this commotion in me to buy one as well, LOL.
I’m becoming more and more intrigued with the figures that coffee (in particular choco-cafe) makes on the surface of a cup. I think there might a hidden meaning to it, I just have to figure it out before they invade…
I recently started another painting, this time in a huge canvas and, even though I know exactly what I want to paint, I can’t get myself to finish it. I bought this canvas two weeks ago and in the same day painted the blue sky with clouds background. Now, somehow, every time I look at [...]
Recently I had some problems on my windows box and, somehow, I lost the administrator password. While trying to recover it from Linux, I managed to erase my entire partition table information. I thought everything was lost, but Linux (and google)once again came to my rescue: First, I managed to change the Administrator password using [...]
Yep, that’s right. Today, in the Amsterdam Music Conservatory, there is a World Harp Congress. Is that the closest to heaven one can be?
Amongst other “pearls”, one can find the following: On a personal level, Freaking Out is a process whereby an individual casts off outmoded and restricting standars of thinking, dress, and social etiquette in order to express CREATIVELY his relationship to his immediate environment and the social structure as a whole. http://www.science.uva.nl/~robbert/zappa/quote/phrases
And excellent article to think about where society is going, in terms of caring for one another: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/15/AR2008071503150.html?hpid=moreheadlines Can’t help it but feeling sad about that woman on the video. 45 minutes is a long time to stare at someone laying on the floor, damn …
