Algo que tenho sentido muito, recentemente…

Hoje foi aprovado pela maioria socialista o Orçamento de Estado para 2008.
Antes de ser aprovado, todos sustiveram a respiração quando Manuel Alegre pediu a palavra - todos terão pensado que o deputado-poeta se iria revoltar contra o futuro reservado às Estradas de Portugal, ou quanto a qualquer uma das outras situações revoltantes do Orçamento de Estado (continuação do congelamento salarial da função publica, financiamento insuficiente do ensino superior, investimento cada vez menor na saude, etc etc) , mas… na realidade foi isto que aconteceu:

Só para avisar que modifiquei a secção de fotos, quem quiser dar uma olhada e comentar…
A long long time ago
i can still remember
when my laptop could connect elsewhereand i tell you all there was a day
the network card i threw away
had a purpose - and worked for you and me….
But 18 years completely wasted
with each address we’ve aggregated
the tables overflowing
the traffic just stopped flowing….
And now we’re bearing all the scars
and all my traceroutes showing stars…
the packets would travel faster in cars…
the day….the routers died
Chorus (ALL!!!!!)
So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
But I spose we’d better give it a try
I suppose we’d better give it a try
Now did you write an RFC
That dictated how we all should be
Did we listen like we should that day
Now were you back at RIPE fifty-four
Where we heard the same things months before
And the people knew they’d have to change their ways….
And we - knew that all the ISPs
Could be - future proof for centuries
But that was then not now
Spent too much time playing WoW
ooh there was time we sat on IRC
Making jokes on how this day would be
Now there’s no more use for TCP
The day the routers died…
Chorus (chime in now)
So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
But I spose we’d better give it a try
I suppose we’d better give it a try
I remember those old days I mourn
Sitting in my room, downloading porn
Yeah that’s how it used to be….
When the packets flowed from A to B
via routers that could talk IP
There was data..that could be exchanged between you and me….
Oh but - I could see you all ignore
The fact - we’d fill up IPv4
But we all lost the nerve
And we got what we deserved!
And while…we threw our network kit away
And wished we’d heard the things they say
Put all our lives in disarray
The day…the routers died…
Chorus (those silent will be shot)
So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
But I spose we’d better give it a try
I suppose we’d better give it a try
Saw a man with whom I used to peer
Asked him to rescue my career
He just sighed and turned away..
I went down to the net cafe
that I used to visit everyday
But the man there said I might as well just leave…
And now we’ve all lost our purpose..
my cisco shares completely worthless…
No future meetings for me
At the Hotel Krasnapolsky
and the men that make us push and push
Like Geoff Huston and Randy Bush
Should’ve listened to what they told us….
The day…the routers….died
Chorus (time to lose your voice)
So bye bye, folks at RIPE 55
Be persuaded to upgrade it or your network will die
IPv6 just makes me let out a sigh
But I spose we’d better give it a try
I suppose we’d better give it a try

Uma das coisas que mais me fez impressão desde que o Google Calendar saiu é não ter a possibilidade de sincronizar de forma fácil com o Outlook. Poderia escolher entre usar um serviço ou outro, mas o que pretendia era ter o meu calendário em qualquer lado, Web, Desktop, PocketPC.
Com a implementação do IMAP no gmail o meu apetite aguçou-se e fui de novo em busca de soluções para este problema. Recomendo dois sistemas bastante diferentes:
Agora só me falta explorar clientes de email para pocketpc que suportem de forma decente IMAP (principalmente agora que na Vodafone a net passou a custar um pouco menos - cerca de 1 euro por dia ou 6 euros/mes - antes so consultar o email podia facilmente passar dos 2 euros)
José Sócrates, na campanha eleitoral de 2005, diz que 7,1% de desemprego são a “marca de uma governação falhada” e de uma “economia mal conduzida”. Em Outubro de 2007, com José Sócrates como primeiro-ministro, Portugal tem 8,3% de desempregados e, pela primeira vez em quase 30 anos, a taxa de desemprego é superior à de Espanha.
