Eating Out in Lisbon

Ohh I’m going into dangerous territory here reviewing restaurants. There is lots and lots of choice and by no means I’m affiliated with any of these restaurants so please don’t get too sentimental over it, it’s just some of my favourites. Scenario: You have a group of friends and you want to go out in Lisbon to have some food. The options can be overwhelming, there is a lot to choose from and you probably won’t be easily disappointed. Nevertheless, here are some of my favourites that you can try.

Italian

Price Range: ~ 17€ per person

Address:

Avenida Conde de Valbom Nº52-A
1050-069 Lisboa, Portugal
217 613 580

The pizzas are the best I ever had and you can have half of one kind and half of another which is great.

Chinese

Price Range: ~ 10€ per person

Address:

8A Rua Pascoal de Melo
Lisbon 1000-230
21 812 3349

“Hong Kong Grande Palácio” is a Cantonese restaurant with awesome food and low prices. Perfect for your Udon soup :)

Vegetarian

Price Range: ~18€ per person

Address:

Rua da Palmeira, 15
Lisboa, Portugal
213 421 407

Very nice restaurant especially if you manage a place outside in the private garden.

Trying out for the second week now a co-working space here in Lisbon. It feels very different to work here. And we enjoy getting home by the end of the day.

Guidelines for Project Management

From conversations with my good friend @herrb:
- smaller things are easier to estimate so try to come up with any subtasks you can remember
- sort the list so it makes sense, e.g. polish the interface AFTER having functionality working
- revisit your estimates every now and then
- don’t remove your old estimates but add a new estimate column in your spreadsheet and see how the estimates change. This should help you getting a feel for where you mis-estimate.
- very important for estimates, updates, and monitoring: keep track of how much time you have spent on the tasks.

Meeting the nice folks at Automattic

Yesterday had the chance to meet some of the nice folks at Automattic (the company behind WordPress.org and WordPress.com), including Matt Mullenweg, the founding developer of WordPress and one of the Top 30 Entrepreneurs Under 30 by Inc. Magazine.

The invite came via the WP Portugal community site since Automattic decided to spend a week working and socializing together in Portugal.

The environment was very informal which was good for people to know each other. It’s a pity more people didn’t show up (we were about 6 or 7 outsiders visiting) and a lot of people (like 20) said they would come and didn’t. I particularly enjoyed meeting some of the Happiness Engineers around and discuss some of their day-to-day support and dev work. Some of the stuff we talked about:
- Admin themes in WordPress: are they coming? are they needed?
- Having a plugin talking to another plugin remotely
- Creating a custom plugin repository mimicking the official .org repo.
- WordPress vs Drupal
- etc.
It was also good to know the people behind WP Portugal and I hope to give them a hand more often now that I know their faces.

  Matt came to Portugal and people don’t show up? Enough said

  Damiansen,
  No, Matt came to *Lisbon*, in *August*, and people didn’t show up.

  It was great meeting everybody that came. :) I think this was our favorite part of the trip.
  
  Keep us posted on your startup!

  Being there even just seven was an achievement taking in consideration that August IS the month most of the people go on vacations. Estoril is not so near transportation for those that come from outside Lisboa. Estoril is not so near Lisboa. Friday is a bad day. 17h is a real bad time for the ones that were working. It was a sunny beachy day. It was an event for mingling and not an working event, so… for most people there was no real attractive to go there, sorry!
  
  For me it took about one hour to arrive there and have to take the afternoon off. And I went by car and not using public transportation.
