First of all, I would like to point out that Benfica did a pretty good in the Champions League, obtaining 0-0 against what I think it is one of the best teams in the world. I’m glad that I went to Estádio da Luz to see the match. Overcoming Barcelona is going to be very difficult, but at least it is still possible. Ah, those who don’t like him, Moretto rules!

News from the open source world: check prism54g project if you own a wireless card based on Conexant chipset. The goal is to write a completly open source firmware in such way that it will be possible to run your wireless station on 100%-free software.

It seems that Apple has sued Apple. The fuss is all about, as you can imagine, the bitten or not bitten apple. Apple Corp, the record label that protects the Beatles music heritage, is sueing Apple Computer for the misusage of the apple trademark in music business. Funny story, check details here.



Linux for human beings

13 03 2006

Well, nothing special… I would just like to share the joy of being currently part of GLUA (Grupo de Linux da Unversidade de Aveiro). Currently I’ve been helping out with the major reconstruction of it’s site by adding new contents, and rearranging what’s already there. The site is based on a wiki engine, which has proven to be a very good approach to cooperative editing.

The main objective of the site is to ease the process of using linux for new people. Linux is as simple as Windows, people just don’t know it. Check out the site and tell me what you think about it (sorry, only for portuguese people)!
