did you do your prank today?

Thursday, October 7th, 2004

While I was in Utrecht, Kuba had the unfortunate idea of trusting his room keys with Rob, when he went home for Christmas holidays. Of course Rob wouldn’t let that pass by. And so wouldn’t we, :P.
I can’t imagine Kuba’s face when he arrived from Poland at 5am after a 30 hour bus ride and entered the room to find all his items in a single square meter column in the center of the room. And I really mean all of his room items, from his bed to his desk and bicycle: everything got piled up carefully, lego-like, and – this is quite important – tied up with toilet paper.

Do you think that was a cool prank? Try this one. (via meia de leite).

And last, but not least, duct tape wall tapings: get a friend, some meters of duck tape and then… duct tape your friend to a wall. Or ceiling. Whichever makes more sense. Or less.

Grand Opening

Wednesday, October 6th, 2004

Get some PHP documentation. Add time and patience q.b.. With a flashlight, poke for bugs for some days and finally attach everything together with some duck tape. The outcome might very well be something nice. Or maybe not.
Either way, here it is. A new design and structure to my homepage. This time with a shinny new domain and containing a weblog. It took me quite a while to put this one up and running although most of the time was spent taming some of the IE esoteric features (a.k.a. bugs): believe me, it was quite an adventure.

The photo section is still work in progress: I need to scan some photos asap and then I’ll decide exactly what to do about it. Meanwhile, I’ve uploaded some photos to a flickr account which, btw, is a quite nice way to share photos online. Their flash organizr-thingy makes the creation of photo albums an extremely easy task.

The big news about this new structure is obviously the blog. Older posts than this one were imported from my livejournal which now permanently moved to here. For the ones who followed me there, the only changes will be in format: now, posts will swing between English and Portuguese according to topic or mood. I hope that my English will be up to it.
