…having too much things going on at same time.
Personal life is almost overflowed by University projects and by my daily work.
On this right moment things are not balanced but I am working on that. I am moving true value to the place where it belongs.
and I promiss I will keep this happy face 
This post makes me think about Twitter. I’m writing posts like ‘twittes’, with just 140 characters
Last April 25, I went to Coimbra to attend another conference. This time about innovation and entrepreneurship.
Organized by Alcides Fonseca, TakeOff is more likely to be a (web) business oriented conference more than BarCamp is, which in fact is a tech, geeky oriented event as you can expect for something organized by Tiago Pinto from webreackstuff.
Well back onto my notes about TakeOff itself… and my simple notes just to tell I am alive
Organization:
The thing I like more is the simplicity on which it is built. It has a very simple start, a solid context about what to talk. Well planed agenda with tight intervals and a too much simple end.
Talks:
Shoul I say I loved 4/5 of them, which is great I think!
I’m wating for review these talks in particular, “Jorge Figueira, Carlos Andrade and Leo Xavier”.
Persons and environment:
New faces and well known faces too, as in friends I should say. Lot’s of them in fact. And yep this is nice but great events like these need to reach a wider audience. The advantages of this are tremendous. New people, new ideas, new problems and new possible solutions. IMHO share is the key.
I’m waiting to see this initiatives all over Portugal, in other Cities.
I have submited another Problem Report for Joomla CMS FreeBSD port.

Ok, I know this is a “_micro-post_” (!stupid) just because one day I will certainly read it here in my blog and not in TextMate manual!
$su %ln -s /Applications/TextMate.app/Contents/Resources/mate /usr/bin/mate
and now I can open a directory of some Ruby on Rails project in one simple step:
$mate SomeRailsProjectDirectory
done
*PikaPika* is a onomatopoeia for a flash light in Japanese. This art movement takes flash light stills and puts them together to make smooth animations.
“…We took a photo of each image using long exposures and put them together to make them look like one animation.To work on this project,we went out to various places in Japan:parks,under the train track,the Tokyo Bay,school hallways,and so on.
We got all sorts of friends in different fields together to work on this project.
During the process,they got to know each other and discover new things. This is also about “communicationâ€.
People can meet new friends as they create a piece art very easy which brings every one happiness.
We spend a very enjoyable evening at the workshop and the party through this animation…”
Just great!
Well this is my first post in this category and is not about “pimping it” but about how to install DarwinPorts and Rails / rubygems on it!
The very first step is to download DarwinPorts for your mac. In this example it will be this “http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/downloads/DarwinPorts-1.3.1-10.4.dmg”:http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/downloads/DarwinPorts-1.3.1-10.4.dmg
Install the DarwinPorts dmg and follow the easy-click-steps (_I will not publish screenshots here about this, it’s too easy!_)
As root run this in your terminal
%port sync
and you will get the latest Portfiles (“Makefiles”/Instructions for building ports)
%port selfupdate
%port install ruby %port -f install rb-rubygems
List installed ports:
%port installed
Uninstalling ports:
% port -f uninstall rb-rubygems
Updating ports:
% port upgrade ruby
and so on as you can see in the port man page:
%man port
Simply….
%gem install rake --include-dependencies %gem install rails --include-dependencies %gem list --local
and it’s all folks…bye
“I just call, to say”,, Happy Christmas!!
PS: I still alive, but with to much work…

I am trying to follow this story very close but.. beliave me I am trying hard via “Chinanews”:http://chinanews.com.cn/.
