Confort Zone
The idea that you should step out of your confort zone was clearly created by someone who just likes to to jump from one thing to the next. I, for one, clearly do my best job in my confort zone, and the best way to expand my confort zone is by nudging its borders. Not […]
stuff multinational internet companies don’t get
There are a few things multinational internet companies don’t seem to understand: Location and language don’t always match – even when a users are proficient with the local official language, they may still prefer to use a different language – but there are a lot of users who may not be proficient enough to use the […]
Dividing issue nr. 354762
Today I would like to ask you about one of the big dividing issues in the western world… Cinnamon swirl, are you a hot or cold kind of person?
Hundred doves
This is a math riddle often asked in Portugal to kids who are good at math. There are two versions of the same riddle, but if you can do one, you will most likely be able to do the other – I leave you both, just in case: A hawk flies by a flock of […]
Increase the headcount
I hope you won’t mind the direct approach, the **Some company name** team is looking for Perl developers to increase its headcount, and I was wondering whether you would be interested. Your profile is a good match for our needs. I was looking into my recent contacts on Linked in and I had a message from […]
Our responsibility for those whose lives we touch
From the little prince to the intersessions of Mercy, by the sisters of Mercy, and not even spiking social responsibility statements from corporations, our society is impregnated with the idea that we are responsible for the lives of others. With the little prince, our responsibility end with those we tame, but to almost everyone else […]
Energy and sleep
Some days I have the feeling that sleeping is essential to keep productive. Other days the fun of keeping working on something takes all the need for sleep away. It’s not only how much we sleep that matters, it seems, but also what is keeping us from sleeping.
Welcome to Hell
“Any given Saturday” (Um sábado qualquer) is a Brazilian comic from Carlos Ruas about gods – lots of them, from the Christian God and his son to the Nordic, Egyptian and the African and traditional Brazilian gods – they all show up now and then. This one strip is about hell… the conversation goes like this: […]
Attitude Transplants
Just like mine… in my case I even had the excuse that in Portuguese (my native language) the expression for Homework, when translated back to english mean “Work of Home” or “Work for Home” – my home never learned how to do the homework, doesn’t matter how much I insisted.
The Dream work
One of the things that keeps surprising me is the lack of dreams. I understand quite well those who don’t do anything or that don’t manage to finish much – I’m planing on buying one of those T-Shirts that say “I put the Pro in procrastinator” – After I start writing this story I did replace […]
Dear authors
Dear authors, I love to read. And the space in my shelves is more than gone. I know that a lot of you are already being published in digital formats, but If that is limited to the big publishers who use DRM, don’t count me as a client. But in general I’m more than willing […]

Artscribing
We just created a new word at coffee today: Artscribing – artscribing is the art of creating meaning for and/or describing pieces of art, specially for abstract modern pieces that don’t have any apparent visual resemblance with pre-existing things. In a less formal way, what it really means is taking some meaning or description for a piece of […]

Flaws
Once you’ve accepted your flaws, no one can use them against you. Tyrion Lannister Just found it and thought that it was worth keeping somewhere!

Streaming Average
Just because I keep forgetting it and having to find out all the math manually again! my $avg = 0; my $cnt = 0; for my $row (@rows) { if ($cnt) { $avg += (($row->{value} - $avg)/($cnt+$row->{cnt}))*$row->{cnt}; $cnt += $row->{cnt}; } else { $cnt = $row->{cnt}; $avg = $row->{value}; } } The two main reasons to […]

Beal’s Conjuncture
One of this days I come across the Bael’s conjuncture and the Bael’s Prize. The conjecture is a generalization of Fermat’s Last Theorem, that states: If , where and are positive integers with , then and have a common prime factor. This is still a conjecture, meaning that it was not proved or disproved. And […]

My blogs
Today I was once again upgrading all the software I use for my blogs. Lately I spend a lot more time upgrading the software than writing posts. It doesn’t take too much time as I automated most of the process, except that I still need to download and push to my own git repositories the latest […]

Me and My Phones
A bit more than a week ago I got a new OnePlus One and last weekend I spent some time installing and configuring it. Changing phone is always a painful experience, even if Google make it easier with Nexus phones. Until now I was using a Nexus 5, and before that a Galaxy Nexus (yes I did skip […]
Talk with your kids about sex
This video can be seen in primetime in most TV channels in the Netherlands. The text in the black boxes in the end of the video says: Kids watch pen in the internet. Talk with them about sex Before they do it. It doesn’t say “watch out and forbid them from using the computer” or […]
Always Nice
Men think less about sex than advertised…
According to a couple of studies, men don’t actually think about sex once every seven seconds. That was a relieve, I was starting to think that something was wrong with me, as I sometimes manage to go for sometime without thinking about it. But then the first study says that men think 19 times per day […]
Apple Swift
Apple launched a new programming language called swift. After s quick look at the docs, the language seems to deserve a second deeper look. There are several things on it that look interesting. But for now, there is one example from the documentation I need to share with you: var occupations = [ “Malcolm”: “Captain”, […]
