  1. @godbout haha, good point. hope you can give the sleepless mind some sleep! ;) see you soon
  2. @nocas ouch! in my case I had no choice, with last minute work keeping me busy all night, followed by a pretty busy day. ready to hibernate.
  3. Portugal bound. Got a feeling I'll sleep like a baby on the night flight. After being awake for nearly 40 hours it shouln't be hard.
  4. it's very easy to warm up the planet, it seems. even dinosaurs couldn't help it... bbc.co.uk/nature/17953792
  5. my first "million". love it when computers do all the work whilst you sleep. now on to the remaining 32+ million. #macaubase
  6. Existing "free" DNS services are unsustainable. "Free" should be core, not bait. The business plan is clear, so why doesn't anyone do it?
  7. @BuddyNS nothing wrong with charging for a service. but implementation is questionable. just woke up to 3 warning emails and inactive zones.
  8. one small change in a configuration file, one giant leap in crawling speed. #nutch
  9. I'm very lucky to have a wonderful wife who supports me even though I can spend so little time with her. Hope all this work will reward us!
  10. @RussB js on the server... it's as good an idea as was java on the browser. and they say "use the right tool for the job"... yeah right :/
  11. @nocas could have been! but fortunately the water didn't make it to the racks, thanks to empty Dell server boxes that absorbed most of it ;)
  12. Lessons: A/C is not always your friend; raised floors in server rooms are a must; wetness sensors are never too expensive; fridays 13th suck
  13. Switching from 'work hard' to 'work smart' is most difficult during the (hopefully brief) period when you have to do both.
  14. doctor prescribed me some syrup for my cough. didn't have a spoon so took a sip. maybe too big a sip. wow, do I feel high right now :)
  15. I really love the @heroku website. and thanks to @marcosantos for making me realize how hilarious the name sounds for the Portuguese :D
  16. I really need 27-hour days. Anyone has any tips that don't involve sleep deprivation?

  18. google wallet & paid apps on android market... I tried. and how. #fail
  19. Call me a geek, but I love well engineered software!
