Google Nexus One

14 February, 2010 · 2 Comments

So I’ve recently bought a Google Nexus One. It’s a nice upgrade from my other Android phone, the HTC Magic. So far I’m loving it. The 3.5mm jack is a Godsend!!

Will post a more detailed review soon. And perhaps even root it!

Here are some photos of the unboxing.

Vacation

8 June, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Finally, the full week of vacations in a long, long time… Most of the projects I’m working are set in motion, with particular attention to FEUP’s Linux Project.

So since I’m not going anywhere this week, what will I do? Well, I still have some achivements of Left4Dead to complete, and have to start paying more attention to Team Fortress 2.

On another note, how cool was this? Pretty amazing…

FAIL

24 March, 2009 · 9 Comments

I use Last.fm on a daily basis. What I use most are the radio features. Wether I’m listening to My Library or My Recommendations, it’s what gets me through the day.

Today they announced that starting on Monday the radio streaming service will become a premium service, with a monthly subscription of € 3. That’s actually not much and if I get all the other features a premium user has, it’s actually a nice deal. What really tickles me about the announcement is that the US, UK and Germany will continue to have a free radio service. Why? So far in all the comment responses, Last.fm officials haven’t come up with a plausible explanation.

I sincerely think Last.fm is going to loose a majority of its userbase. I still haven’t decided what to do. Everyone in the comments have been pointing out Spotify as an alternative, but from the look of the site, I don’t know if it’s available in Portugal or not, and apparently it doesn’t have an official Linux client.

Does anyone know of a good alternative to Last.fm so I can make a decision ’till Monday?

Escape from City 17

16 February, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Opened Steam this past weekend to find out the dudes at Valve we’re psyched about these small movies made with an extremely small budget ($500). Escape from City 17, from what I can gather, takes place at the same time as Half-Life 2: Episode 1. It’s really worth a look:

Another good reason to drop WLM

This gave me another good reason to drop Windows Live Messenger (MSN) alltogether… So please, everyone that’s using MSN, change to something else, like XMPP.
