Science vs Everything Else

  • Today I’ve reinstalled Windows on my PC. It’s one of those things you have to do now and then, since it seems to periodically and inexorably degrade to a point where anything you do triggers some error. The good thing is, at least this forces me to do backups, software updates and not-useful-anymore software removal.…


  • Trying out Safari

    So Firefox has been getting on my nerves a lot recently. I still can’t understand how it got so bad. I mean, I’ve been using Firefox for a very long time, and I had never have any problems with it. Until recently, that is. All of a sudden, it became highly unstable, prone to stupid…

    Today was the Gay Pride Parade in São Paulo. The city’s most prominent avenue, the Paulista Avenue, was completely taken by about 3,5 million people (according to the people who organized the parade).

The teachers for both courses I took were… incompetent, in the lack of a better term. All they did was recite the book and use slideshows to talk…


  • Scary face

    ,

    A friend has told me that I get scary when I’m angry. Scary. That took me by surprise, I must say. I know I make it obvious when I’m not happy about something (after all, I do rant a lot). However when I get really angry at something or someone I don’t rant, nor yell…

    |

    I have acquired new toys. The first and foremost is my new set of speakers. Now I have a reasonable set of speakers with a sub-woofer, which means I finally can listen to music in a minimally decent way since early 2002, when a robbery at home took that away from me. I just hope…
