learning starts by interest, listening then reading and finally interacting

postgresql.gifOk I admit I have written a weird subject on this post, but I’m sick of listening (almost) everybody pronounce “posgre” when in fact PostgreSQL is pronounced like /po:st gres kju: el/; . Please follow this link and listen http://www.postgresql.org/files/postgresql.mp3

In Portuguese we call this “Chamar os bois pelos nomes” and translating this phrase is something like “Calling the bulls by its names”… or Elephants in this case. :)

… so please, interact! and remember this knowledge cicle ends when you start over < subject here> but without interest!

(… this kind of stuff remembers me those guys who pronounce LaTeX like when they call a Taxi, it’s the lolocaust…)

For those who don’t understand this, it’s simple. Someone as created a twitter account to “broadcast” a message to all it’s subscribers informing what’s the menu for lunch/dinner in the canteen of “Instituto Superior Técnico“, LOL!

This is sparta, madness!

I will not follow this one because … digging my memory, I think I just add lunch there one time and I don’t remember when or why :) , (ok I remember why, http://3as.ist.utl.pt ).

well, after all I wrote down this post just to say that I really love to see what people can do with this kind of services! Hey, is this web Release Candidate 2.1 stuff ? LOL. People, communities and services! From the complex ones to this kind simplicity.
