I was browsing through my favorite Linux magazine (it’s Linux Format by the way… I wonder if I mention it several times here on my blog if someone will send me a free subscription? What? A guy can dream, can’t he?) at a certain book store today when I came across a quick review of the game Ardentryst. Ardentryst is an action/RPG sidescoller, focused not just on fighting, but on story, and character development.

[caption id="" align=“alignnone” width=“500” caption=“Happiness by Sabrina Campagna cc-by”][/caption] I was hanging out in the lobby of the Catalina Park Appartments last week writing some code when I was approached by Diederik van der Boor (of KMess fame) who was also hacking away and had a question about Git. Diederik: are you an expert on git by any chance? Me: hardly, but what is the question? Diederik: I just made a few changes to a single file and was wondering if it is possible to commit specific chunks?

I’m back from GUADEC 2009 (a blog post dedicated to this will be posted soon, I promise) and am now trying to get caught up with everything that has happened at work and projects I follow. Manage to spend some time today to check what’s new with the Transifex project and am very impressed with the direction it is going. What you see above is the new tool/feature being added for inline, online translation of projects, codenamed Lotte!

Thanks to the amazing support from the GNOME Travel Committee, I will be attending my first GUADEC this year in Gran Canaria! I am very thankful for their commitment to accomodate my needs and I’ll try to make the most of it! I’ll be arriving July 3rd around lunch time and will stay until the 11th, so there will be plenty of time to meet up and discuss. I’m mostly interested in localization, accessibility, and tests automation but am equaly interested in community building and the organization toward GNOME 3.

Este fim de semana adicionei um novo recurso ao Planeta GNU/Linux Brasil que permite você enviar uma mensagem ao Planeta pelo Twitter! Como que funciona? Basta você enviar a sua mensagem pelo Twitter usando a tag #planetagnulinux e depois carregar a página do Planeta. Toda vez que você carregar a página, uma mensagem aleatória com esta tag será exibida na seção superior! Quem sabe não vai ser a sua mensagem?

Graças ao meu amigo Evandro Pastor do QuartoStudio, o Planeta GNU/Linux Brasil agora está com um visual novo! Alias, o Evandro também criou o layout ganhador para substituir o site atual do Foresight Linux, que deve ser lançado até a semana que vem (realmente ficou muito bom, vocês vão ver!) A idéia é adicionar mais uns retoques finais, mas já temos uma página só para quem usa o Internet Explorer!
