Today, I’ve had the pleasure to join the IEEE team from FEUP, in a course to everyone interested, about, not only the services available at the faculty, but mainly about Linux, specifically, Ubuntu.

I wasn’t exactly sure how well I would be as a speaker, since I never had the need to speech to older people, since I was the youngest person in the room. Happily, I was received very well, and everyone was really enthusiastic. After a small introduction to the terminal and GNOME, the attendees had the chance to try the system by themselves and make me questions.

I guess the whole thing was a success, and I will definitely will want to help them out next year again.

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.

Well, it seems that shutdown day has not affected my laptop!

My blog has been accepted into too planets which I really admire. Ubuntu Weblogs and, now, P*. I’ve been following both of them since they went online, so, it is really an honor to join both of those teams.

For those of you who have no clue who I am:

Tiago Boldt Pereira de Sousa, born March 24 (yes, happy birthday to me), 1988, I’m a student at Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto, trying to make myself an informatics and computation engineer.
I’m an Open-Source fan, who’s using Ubuntu for almost an year now. I’ve been also to getting into the Ubuntu community, helping with bug reports, translation and what ever help I’m able to do.

I hope you all enjoy my postings, as much as I enjoy to discover and share new stuff.

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.
