  • Não Tenho Mais Carro !!

    Estou até me sentindo mais verde… Vendi meu carro esta semana simplesmente porque não estava mais usando-o. Eu e Tati trabalhamos perto e tentamos casar os horários. Quando não dá, usamos ônibus, metrô, carona ou taxi na ida ou na volta, nunca nos dois. Num contexto familiar, dois carros é muitas vezes um luxo desnecessário…

  • Um Novo Setor Industrial: Concursos

    Este diálogo aconteceu poucos dias atrás: — E de onde você é ? — eu perguntei — De ${CIDADE}, interior de ${ESTADO_NO_MEIO_SUL_DO_BRASIL} — Me conta mais, quantos kilómetros de São Paulo, quantos habitantes, etc ? — Uns 1000km de São Paulo e somos 7000 habitantes. — Puxa! Você conhece todo mundo quando anda na rua…

  • I was invaded again: more passwords for you not to use

    It took some time to have my honeypot invaded again in a useful way. They were attacking constantly but were using it only to connect to IRC rooms. Useless for me. But yesterday a sweet cracker invaded it again and left behind about 240000 non-unique combinations of user+password he was using to invade others. They…

  • WordPress 2.7 Eye Candy

    Although WordPress 2.7 is almost only eye candy, it is great useful eye candy. The user interface is much much more practical, AJAXed, nice and fast. I recommend an immediate upgrade. It worked flawlessly with my complex homemade theme, my homemade plugins, plus all other plugins I use throughout my blog.

  • Yawasp Ultimate Anti-Spam Solution

    Spam fighting is a difficult job. Many spammers are too smart for Akismet and I was spending too much time cleaning comment spam. Captcha-based anti-spam methods are ok but they hurt too much the usability and user experience. Then I finally found Yawasp WordPress plugin that implements an innovative anti-spam method. It makes the comment…

  • Compromised Passwords

    I love to see crackers attacking my computers. I even wrote a Linux Magazine article about a successful invasion (portuguese). Since recently, I leave a virtual machine with an easy password ready to be attacked, just to see these crackers’ leftovers, their rootkits and what they’ll do once they brake into my system. Guess what.…

  • Coral Russo Sretensky no Mosteiro de São Bento

    Conforme havia twittado ontem, assisti ao Coral Russo do Monastério Sretensky ontem no Mosteiro de São Bento. Filas gigantescas e mosteiro lotadíssimo garantiram que assistiríamos de pé. Mas valeu a pena. Um coral de uns 30 homens soltaram a voz que ecoou forte no teto alto da catedral. Quando fui a Russia, no ano passado,…
