I’ve been “sort of” offline for the last couple of
months and I’ll be definitely offline for the next
two weeks. I’m leaving for an offline 2 week beach
holiday.

Although I’ve been active in other places (like
Twittter…), I really wanted to focus on other
stuff (like guitar playing :-), keep a 3 month
silence period regarding my previous role as CIO
for the portuguese Ministry of Justice and also
to think about life, the universe and everything
(aka what I want to do when I grow up).

Things are looking up, I’ve digested a lot of
stuff and, although I already have a clear view
on where I should be heading next, I’ll be making
final decisions during these next 2 weeks.

I expect to come back with a lot more action, both
in real life and online.

C U in 2 weeks!

Here’s my presentation at TakeOff 2008 at Coimbra:

Following the trend on the last couple of weeks I’m
not in a blogging mood. I’ve been mostly twittering
to sort of make up for it but in fact lately I’ve been
more into tinkering/hacking and playing guitar (I guess
to make up for the lack of both in the last 3 years).

I’m several posts due but I’m not in a hurry; the urge
will soon be back for a lot of stuff; right now I’m just
enjoying the personal battery recharge period.

Not too many posts in the last days; and neither this
weekend but I promise a post early this next week about
the turning 40 singularity…

If you come across one Mario Valente in a London/UK
glam band called Paradise Alley, keep in mind that it
wasnt me but my brother Mario “Nuggy” Valente…
