Kings of Chaos

September 30

I started to play the game Kings of Chaos, which is a strategy game in net.

If you click on this link and the number corresponding to the number that appears in writing, I get one more soldier.

Then you can still click on "Join this War," which will appear on the next screen, and be one of my officers.

Matches

September 27

I have lived in a time of coincidences. Happenings that have already been planned long ago. Time when I find Sandman, where one of the brothers carrying the book which was written by hand the first word, before it is pronounced. The problem is that I do not believe in destiny. Then you must have alqueria, or something very powerful pulling the strings to make it all work so well.

"The Bridgit Jones Diary" is legal. I watched the movie on the APM (Associação Paulista de Medicina) with some of Marcela and her friends. Had a discussion about the film after it airs. A room full of old men, mostly old ladies who listen rather than bats!

I had several ideas during the debate. I'm in a good time with lots of ideas.

Fotolog

September 26

My blog has a picture that has long been stopped. Now also have a fotolog, I have been keeping a few weeks.

Until we realize the dream of having a digital camera, I'll post the photos I shot with the machine of Daniel. Every day that passes is closer to the day I get 13, when the dream can become reality.

The fotolog, I had some pretty crazy ideas to save bandwidth and avoid the fotolog have the same purpose as the photolog (Brazilian version of fotolog) in the middle of the month had already broken out the traffic limit.

FTAA and the Patent Law

September 24

Many people would welcome the entry of Brazil in the FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas), while several radicals are against. I personally am against, because we would be subject to protectionist legislation in the United States, while our market would be open to entry of U.S. products.

A good example is in relation to intellectual property rights. Because the FTAA is an international treaty, if Brazil is to sign this treaty will be subject to the laws of the intellectual property imposed by the FTAA, or the United States.

It seems alarmist, but according to a resulução ABPI (Brazilian Association of Intellectual Property), the draft FTAA Agreement wounds at various points in Brazilian law, in other places is badly drafted, contradictory, and even have parts in general.

Nostalgia

September 23

Session nostalgia:

ScummVM (who remember something when you see that name gets extra point) is a Virtual Machine (VM!) To run games created based on the Scumm (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) LucasArts (who remember Maniac Mansion or LucasArts earn more points). The games are Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Full Throtle ... (more points for guem played these games or finished).

Who has enough point, has the site "Home of the Underdogs" with several abandonwarez (games of the last century).

Who do much besides point is fan of the LucasArts games, as I am, the project "Amberfish Arts" to create a new pro version Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

Gibiteca Sesc

September 23

Yesterday when I left here in Brás Gibiteca went to the SESC in São Paulo. I read the "Preludes and Nocturnes" is a reprint of the 7 early issues of Sandman of Neil Gaiman, in black and white. Very nice!

I also took to read Nickel Nausea, I like both. I started to read the "For a thousand demons" but not finished.

Hell of Sao Paulo is not so bad :)

Iraq

September 22

Another attack on UN in Iraq, possible causes:

- Dissatisfaction with the UN inspectors who failed to prevent war while not having found weapons of mass destruction

- 13-year embargo imposed by the UN on Iraq

- The inability to prevent the invasion of Iraq by the United States of America

- The hatred of the Iraqis by foreigners who invaded and occupied their country

Crazy Guy

September 22

I'ma computeiro. This is fact. I'm reading a book on Peer-to-Peer, also bought one on Wap. I have an interest in computing and genetics Neuro-fuzzy logic. The latter account for most of Carlos and Franssatto, who are doing masters in this area. Through their conversations seems to be something interesting.

The fact that I am computeiro and is due to this that I do not want to stop studying computing. My area is research. Not want to stop. I do not agree that the technology to me is imposed. I want to create it!

Ibirapuera and Japanese

September 22

Ibirapuera is legal. That bunch of people riding bicycles, children with parents, housewives dog walker, marombeiro showing muscles, lovers walking together or lying on the grass.

It's really an island in the middle of Sao Paulo! I liked to see the carp in the Japanese Pavilion, which in itself is an attraction in itself. It's amazing how the Japanese can make beautiful gardens, reminds me of Lord of the Rings, where each race carries with mastery of certain tasks. The Japanese are harmonious gardeners.

Deep Purple

September 22

Saturday was a great show mass: Deep Purple at Pacaembu.

It was perfect, see chairs flying during the show of the band, the crowd shouting "Experience" during the Kaiser's propaganda, knowing the Pacaembu and of course Deep Purple.

The show was unique. They played the music icons, some new songs and some not so new. The best was the beginnings of music they imendaram: Mr. Crawley, Sweat Child O 'Mine, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Barber of Seville, the theme from Star Wars and even one that resembles Gardens of Babylon, Rita Lee sings. The show of them was perfect. The pianist and guitarist did a private show, besides the vocalist who is super charismatic.

ALERT Theft of vehicle

September 12

The Federal Highway Police is providing to society, the ALERT Theft and Theft of vehicles Nacional.

The system is integrated with INFO ROAD and allows the ALERT is automatically available for cars with satellite access (480 vehicles) and for the intranet of the body (over 400 jobs from PRF)

With the new system increases the likelihood of recovery of the vehicle, since the police can act immediately after the criminal act, making it difficult to escape. - Link

Telephony Part I

September 4

The FCC Web site is an area!

In July last year, Brazil had 9,247,290 mobile post-paid and 21,790,536 mobile pre-paid, and 3.29% used technology AMPS, TDMA 62.86%, 33.34% and 0.51 CDMA % GSM.

A year later, the number of mobile post-paid rose to 10,375,959 and the mobile pre-paid to 28,444,701. The technology is now divided into 2.02% for AMPS, TDMA to 58.04%, 30.80% to 9.04% and CDMA to GSM.

With this data you can see that the number of cellular pre-paid plan is the most increased and GSM has been gaining more strength, already passing AMPS (which is ultra passed and try to fade). TDMA and CDMA have lost a little of Marquet Share, but remain strong.

A year ago, was primarily used the "Mobile Service - SMC" and is now going on a migration to the "Service - SMP". It is because of this change we now have to use the code in the long-distance phone.

About the SMP operators have separate rates for the 4 different types of service:

I-call originated or terminated in the SMP within an Area record SMP;

II-call originated or terminated in the SMP, between Areas Registry SMP whose first digits of the National Code - CN are identical;

III-call originated or terminated in the SMP, between Areas Registry SMP whose first digits of the National Code - CN are different;

IV-international calls.

New Phones

September 3

I bought a mobile promotion plan Incredible 500 "of TIM ... for $ 1.00. Now I have a GSM phone with very low rates. It's cheaper I connect my phone here in Sao Paulo for the phone to my mother in Minas Gerais than I connect with my old phone BCP to any landline of Sao Paulo ...

I'm still trying to understand all the charges: VC3, VC2, Long Distance Carrier, Call for Further, Routing, Coverage Area, Area of Coverage, Provider Partner ...

Bombshells

September 2

There are some stories that undermine the structure. Do you think about the future differently.

China, South Korea and Japan are planning to create a new operating system based on Linux to replace Windows. It's a Reuters report!

Purtuguêiz

September 1

On the site of products for Motorola phones Tim has a headset with button SEND / END, the height of creativity and can be summarized in one sentence in this site:

"Adapters colors to best fit your ear."
