I’ve just been “exposed” to this software requirement:

“No memory leaks shall exist. ”

I’m glad someone thought of this one!

Once a week there’s usually a curry club meeting that consists in ordering curry from an Indian take-out, but this week we had the pleasure to eat a special home-made curry from Asha and it was great. Thanks!

Photos from the past year working at YDreams..

This is where I going to stay for the first month. It’s a hotel that has apartments for rent.

The last few days have been pretty relaxed. Sleeping till late, slacking at the computer and doing whatever I want to do. I’ve also been taking care of the details of my next aventure, the whole experience of working and living abroad for undetermined time. I will fly to Germany next Saturday (15th of March).

Today was my last day at YDreams. I’ll be taking a new position that is based in Darmstadt, Germany.

I joined YDreams via a recommendation. Vortex worked there and he said it was great to work there and since I knew Vortex (someone who likes to do things the right way) well from college I knew if he liked it, I would too. And so it was. It was great to work there for this past year, I’ve learned so much and was part of an incredible team.

I still believe YDreams has a great potential as a company. Rest assured, the management will try to further explore that potential and success is all I wish them.

This week I went to the UK and on the flight I stumbled upon this:

“Job seekers would be well advised to stay away from Lisbon, which seems to be suffering from an extremely lethargic job market with some of the lowest salaries and work prospects in Europe.”

The text is taken from the EasyJet Inflight Magazine (February 2008 edition).

I wanted the latest Cake-PHP dbo_source.php to use with MS SQL Server because there has been a ridiculous amount of recent bug fixes but when I updated I lost the othAuth component functionality.

I started by following the post here about using othAuth in 1.2 pre-beta but I was still getting some errors and ‘deprecated function’ warnings. What worked for me was not adding the line:

<code>
$this->othAuthRestrictions = Configure::read(’Routing.admin’);
</code>

in the beforeFilter() function in app_controller.php as recommended in the post.

I then did some cleaning to eliminate the warnings. The final code I used is here.

I want these babies..

The Nike+ shoes feature a built-in pocket under the insole for a sensor that can monitor jogging performance for example.

GT bikes are so cool. These one just got into my head after Tiago introduced her to me.

Must remember.. “cultivar o ser em vez de cultivar o ter”.
