Here goes a summarised report of the talk I presented. The presentation (in Portuguese) is at http://developer.kde.org/~thiago/presentations/IDG-17-08-2005.pdf (source and beamer theme: trunk/promo/presentations/2005_08_SaoPaulo_IDG_Developers_World_pt-BR) The conference was IDG Developer's World, held here in São Paulo on Aug 17th. The target audience was mostly corporate people. Helio asked me whether they were IT managers or higher up: I can't tell.

I know it's not the solution but it help me to forget :) and I don't know why but this morning I managed to make a really bad coffee (more like coffee flavored water) so I'm probaly get really pissed off soon ...

Again a long time since last blog... This week, monday until thursday, there was SVG Open in Enchede, the Netherlands. I got an invitation to be part of the svg implementators panel by the organising team.

It is quite some time already since I think about getting myself some powerful PDA or a very light laptop. My boss at work wants a lightweight laptop for our research group too. The 4.7kg Dell Inspiron that we bought 4 years ago starts to show its age. Read More
