Disco rígido Zaapa 2.5” de 320GB

Acabei de comprar uma coisas destas na Chip7:

Para vossa informação: A caixa é um bocado rafeira, já que o conector USB está de esguelha, e tem de se forçar um bocado o conector para a ficha entrar… nada de grave.

Não tem entrada extra para alimentação pelo que é fornecido um cabo USB em Y com duas fichas USB na ponta.

Finalmente o disco que está dentro desta caixa é um Samsung SpinPoint M6 de 320GB

Estou a copiar agora todo o conteúdo do meu velhinho WD de 80GB, e vamos ver se é tão bom como a WD.

Maquina de pão Clatronic – Pão integral do LIDL

Os pães feitos com as farinhas de pão integral do LIDL, ou seja o pacote vermelho, estavam sempre a sair completamente achatados e maciços. Eram comestíveis, mas não cresciam nem ficavam “gordinhos”.

Depois de algumas experiências, o truque é adicionar alguma gordura e usar o programa UM e não o programa para o pão integral.

Neste momento estou a usar como gordura óleo de girassol biológico comprado na BioCoop no Prior Velho, mesmo em frente à BA1 de figo maduro.

Como gosto de plane-spotting (http://www.portugalspotters.org/) ainda dá para ver umas descolagens e aterragens a seguir às compras!

Portuguese Wines

Portugal produces a lot of excelent quality wine, which some of them even won international award in blind contests against wine super powers like France and Italy.

Because they are so unknow from the majority of the world some of them come quite as a shock (in positive terms) when some one visits our country and tastes them.

Most people only knows Port Wine which is a fortified wine to be drank as an aperitif and Mateus Rose that is a light rose wine good for fish and shellfish.

But these wines are mearly a drop of the ocean. If you like strong wines in terms of taste try the DAO region but make sure that you let the wine breathe before serving at least 10m at room temperature. Meat and cheese are the perfect companies for these wines.

On the other hand the ALENTEJO region wines are softer more delicate but an excelent quality wines, easier to drink and taste, but all depends on what you are looking for.

Ubuntu/Kubuntu, Linux and Mono

Because of several issues regarding licensing, patent traps, Microsoft, Silverlight, and so on, I’ve completely remove mono from my Kubuntu desktop, and all associated applications (that where none as far as I can tell).

So there it is. You can live without .NET on free platforms.

PS: By the way, I’ve notice something very, very funny: Miguel de Icaza blog is: tirania.org. (Never read it or be there…)

Well in Portuguese tirania is a word that defines an opressive regime, dictatorship… Coincidence?

[K]Ubuntu and Netbeans 6.1 with Firefox 3.0

One annoying things that took some time to solve was that on the Start page of Netbeans there are URL’s to several articles, blog posts and so one, but every time I’ve pressed one of the it say’s that it could not execute Firefox.

I’ve checked the path, permissions, and so on but with no solution.

Well the issue is quite simple:

Goto Netbeans Tools menu and select the last option Options. It should start on the general tab where you select the browser you which to use.

Select Edit and on the arguments for Firefox remove whats there: -remote “openURL({URL})” and just keep the {URL} nothing else.

Save, close and it should work.

Now back to work…
