After a long time without time, I’ve finally managed to update my Wordpress installation and theme. It’s now using the latest 2.5.1 and, I think, it looks neat:)
Also, after testing my SSH keys, I’ve found out that they were vulnerable due to a patch in Debian, which made the random number generator guesseable. If you’re running a ssh-server, in a Debian-based distribution, you should test if your keys are compromised.
Today, the Porto Linux team joined in a nice Christmas dinner. The event started in the beginning of the afternoon, with some Apache talks. I’ve only joined them later in the evening. The conversation was, indeed, interesting, passing through lots of different subjects, from open-source, education and many, many other!
It was a nice dinner, and it is always good to get to know better the ones behind the emails or posts out there.
Before leaving, we’ve had an open-gift exchange. Everyone was supposed to bring something, like some code, a picture, an image, anything. Since I’ve forgot to print it, I’ll share here the little ncurses based application I’ve wrote to share. Download, compile it with g++ -lncurses xmas2007.cpp and run it with ./a.out. Merry Xmas.
Today, after a long time standing and walking from one place to another, searching for a good place among the other 600.000 people, I’ve managed to get a good spot to watch the semi-finals and finals of the Red Bull Air Race, right in front of the control tower, close to the one Carlos did the previous day.
The show is awesome, the speed is considerably high, but, by being that close to the planes, the adrenaline is felt in everyone who’s watching. I can only imagine how unique it must be to ride with one of those pilots, while looping through the skies!
Unfortunately, I’ve only managed to watch the final part of the show, but, for sure, I’ll be there earlier next year, since the returning of the air race as already been confirmed!
Doing nothing is actually pretty easy! This past two months I’ve spent them doing exactly that: nothing!
Unfortunately, everything that’s good, comes to an end, and this summer is about to end to me! It was spent between Apulia, Esposende, in the north, with my parents, and Alvor, Algarve, where I’ve camped with some friends (we’ve been kicked back home due to heavy rain).
Now I’m about to start studying to a September exam that I’ll obligatory have to past in order to finish all my courses from the past year! I’ll also be probably more active in my blog, hope someone’s still reading! 
If it’s not one thing, it’s another..
The semester has ended, and I’ve been able to successfully finish all my courses. Between the exams, I’ve lacked not only time for myself, but also for this blog. I’m now going on vacations and I’ll probably have no internet at all for about a month. I’ll try to, anyway, catch up one or two times with what’s happening, but I’ll hardly have access to an internet connection.
So, this is some kind of goodbye, or more like a see you later.
Almost a week now, since my last post. The work at FEUP has been giving me some really headaches. I’m still a freshman, and the whole new experience is being really great. Despite all the studying hours needed, the people are great, the facilities awesome and I’m really loving it. Yesterday I had my last test, for now at least, two weeks to the next round, I’ll spend them happily online.
