I just saw in somebody's twitter that the final edition of Zeitgeist was released.

Yesterday my MBA class group had a barbecue at one of our colleagues' home. It was a great time with my colleagues, mostly because of the speeches of some of them. I resized and uploaded photos and they are shown below. I got some videos also, but as I'll have to edit them, I just don't know when they are gonna be released to the public :-p.

I decided to migrate my blog from wordpress to this drupal instalation. Firstly, I had to export the WXR file, and then I used wordpress_import drupal module (it requires trackback and some core modules).

I wanted to blog using some desktop blogging software and found this gotdrupal post. Now, I'm happily editing this blog post using scribefire.

Last  december, I wrote about getting things done methodology.   I know some free web apps like Remember The Milk,   Runway,  Clocking It... There are a lot of other software listed in gtd-br wiki, (in brazilian portuguese). My main requisite is to be able to install the tool at my hosting (I have privacy issues), so I tried to use Taskfreak for some time. I gave up taskfreak because I didn't find it usable enough. I switched to Tracks, and it is much better. I recommend it. I found Clocking It recently, and haven't tried For further information, refer to the LifeHacker blog "Which online GTD app is right for you?". Update: take a look at the Interactive GTD Software Comparison Table.Thanks to Márcio Nilo @ GTD-BR mailing list.

Nice and smart script using find and awk to find large files.

I am reading Chris Anderson's The Long Tail (in portuguese) and yesterday I read about Lulu.com, a service where anyone can publish a book and get an ISBN. As he wrote this book some years ago, probably there are other 'long tail' book publishing services out there. If you know any, please let me know. I haven't looked throghout all the site, so I don't know whether I can write a book in portuguese (my native tongue) and publish there. Anyways, I have a new goal: write a book in english and publish ;-).

Yesterday, I was thinking of taking notes of all goals I intend to yield in 2009. Today, as soon as I stood up, I started my search. After a few minutes looking at a software list, I decided to use TiddlyWiki, a client-side javascript-based wiki. My problem is that i wanted a server-side version, and found this blog post describing somebody's search of server side versions. Finally, I am using the Experimental wiki, he found. I didn't like much how it stores the content, and that it doesn't store tags. But it suffices by now. Update: Finally, I installed the suggestion of tiddlywiki's creator (in the comments), ccTiddly, and "officially deprecated" the tikiwiki installation I used to use.

Getting-things-done (GTD) is a methodology created by David Allen that transforms personal overwhelm and overload into an integrated system of stress-free productivity. I found this methodology some weeks ago, and since then, I've been trying to apply it. I haven't being much successful in that, maybe because I didn't get the 'perfect tool' yet. I did the  GTD-IQ test, and my scores are low (by now).

I'm not a designer, but sometimes I'd like to be able to make nifty changes to existing designs. A friend of mine, Caio SBA, told me to read The Zen of CSS Design and it's already in my book-list :)

I've just upgraded my wordpress installation from 2.3.2 to 2.7. And this version looks awesome! Neat jquery scrolling menus making a terrific user-friendly-interface.

I need to find out how to separate posts in english and portuguese using different rss for the same blog.
