/me listens to EMF – Travelling Not Running
http://www.last.fm/music/EMF/_/Travelling+Not+Running
“A man recalls the moment when, seated with his
mistress outside a fishermans hut,
he drank away the tears which fell on her white hand.
Now, that he is wasting away with longing,
he realizes that those tears must have been poisoned.”
Who the hell wrote this? Google is of no help…

– motel marcado, inscricao feita e paga, team
combinada, ferias marcadas. Desmarcacao da Campus
Party; fico chateado, claro que fico…
– bem feito para o portugues que se inscreve e
paga a ultima da hora; para a proxima sinalizem
a intencao de ir mais cedo
– bem feito para Impresa Digital que julgava que
isto era pera doce e que era so multiplicar 2500
por 100 Euro e obter 250 mil
– lamentavel a forma como o evento foi cancelado;
no minimo devia ter-se esperado ate a data limite
de inscricoes, dia 12 de Julho; por causa da pressa
de algum pepe rapido, perderam toda a credibilidade
para organizar um futuro evento semelhante
– VD is right: all you marketoids, press people,
etc, forget about Campus Parties. Just go away to
marketoid oriented events where you can hear all
you want about segment leader market oriented new
media vision driven business “ideas” and mingle
with venture catalysts with even less money than
the wannabe entrepreneurs trying to sell rehashed
ideas that can be had for free. You might even find
MBAs there, something that its improbable to happen
in the middle of those porn downloading code churning
game playing longhaired smelly Campus Party types.

Subject: Firefox Bounty Followup II

To all we contributed to aditional diagnosis of the
problem my heartfelt thanks.
We have now confirmed our initial suspicion (see my
first post) that the problem was most probably related
to character encodings and not to some server side
configuration problems. This has been confirmed thanks
to Nelson Bolyard:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=245609#c20
Unfortunately although we have the diagnostic, we
do not have a solution. I mean, sure its relatively easy
for the state agencies involved to go and reissue the
certificates with matching encodings. But I must say that
it pains me to see the standards (RFC3280 and RFC4630)
implemented in a reasonable way (comparing strings as
they should be; keep in mind that both RFCs state MAY
and SHOULD, there’s no MUST) in other browsers and FF
displaying a wrongful message just because of the lack
of some string conversion code.
So, until it is obvious that no solution is
forthcoming and that we might as well reissue the
certificates, the bounty still stands for anyone that
submits the feature/bug/whatever to Bugzilla and comes
up with the code/patch to back it up.

One of the things that I used to enjoy was watching
MTV’s Chillout Zone at dawn, on Sundays, after playing
or hacking away until the wee hours.

Since the local cable TV operator switched to digital,
together with the launch of MTV Portugal, I’ve had no such
luck. Fortunately there’s an unofficial site with the
playlists, so I can get up to date on “music to listen
while working”.
http://www.mtv-chilloutzone.com/playlistarchive.htm
And its useful not only to know which CDs to buy or
which MP3s to download, its also useful to find some
amazing videos.
Case in point: Hexstatic, besides having awesome tunes,
also have some awesome videos that should not be missed
by any heavy mental 21st century MTV born game playing
Kraftwerk loving dude:
Hexstatic – Machine
