DHH at Startup School 2008!

DHH = David Heinemeier Hansson is one of the creators of the Ruby On Rails framework and an active collaborator of 37signals. I’ve read several articles about the company and RoR, but this was the first time I saw David in action. This lecture about “The Secret To Making Money Online” is full of great ideas and gives you a chance to think about “simplifying” your goals (following the approach “Less is More”) and getting things done.

Do you own an iPhone?…

…and you still don’t have a recording application? nRecorder is your answer! :P

NanoAppz, a small portuguese start-up, founded by two friends of mine, has recently published on iTunes App Store their first iPhone application. Give it a try!

 

About Bergen

According to Google Analytics, my blog has become famous around Bergen, Norway. I don’t have a clue about what are you looking for here, but you are welcome… Velkommen, Bergen Venner! I have been in Bergen a few months ago and this is my first post about it.

Bergen is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The center is a small village nearby the sea which has an original architecture – everything looks like a “dream-village” where people live in peace and harmony. You can find harbors for everything: small fishing boats, leasure boats and huge cruise ships. If you get lucky, you’ll find the traditional fish market place open! A nice place to experiment a nice snack with fresh shrimp, salmon and other seafood, right after being caught in the Ocean (by the way, this was our best meal in Norway!).

We took the Oslo – Bergen train. It is considered one of the best train trips of the world. It’s easy to understand that award – the beautiful landscapes from ocean to montain, passing through green fields, florest and snow plateaus are breath-taking!

 

Take Control of Your Money!

O Seu Primeiro Milhão

One of my best friends, Pedro Carrilho, has just published his first book related to Personal Finance Management called “O Seu Primeiro Milhão” – in Portuguese.

I have start reading it and I definitely recommend it. Pedro also teaches this kind of contents in his company courses. I can assure that you will get your money back in less than a month. It’s a good investment :)

 

Just wondering…

 

New template!

1 October 2008. Time for a blog change.

I got tired of the previous theme and decided to make it by myself, keeping WordPress as the main engine (got wp-plugin addicted). The transparency are my favourite parts, however, older browsers won’t show it correctly. It is still in beta, so any suggestions are welcome :)
