My world and the space beyond

TV series I follow...

noreply@blogger.com (Sérgio Azeredo) — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 18:22:00 +0000

Lately i've been watching some sci/fi tv series like Stargate SG-1 all the 10!!! yes, 10 season's, and also Stargate Atlantis that at this time I write it's on episode 16 of season 4.

I loved all the episodes both from Stargate SG-1 leaded by Jack O'Neill on the serie and all the other characters presented there, and when I started to watch Stargate Atlantis, that was when I finished season 10 and the last of SG-1 sadly, I learned that the old tv serie spirit was also there so I'm still following this saga :) One of the best shows ever in my opinion.

I started to watch also Battlestar Galactica 2005 , a remake of the old serie of the 70's, Battlestar Galactica starring Richard Hatch as Apollo, and other great characters like Adama, and Starbuck.

Man, those were the times when I didn't missed a single episode from the old Battlestar Galactica series. Also the new remake of the Battlstar Galactica 2005 it's very good in another perspective.

Here follows some memories and a hat off to all the people who made it possible in that time.

And the new Battlestar Galactica 2005

Brasil - Portugal (0-2)

Amazing what a sport can do for people spirit. Soccer for us and specially for our brazilian brothers, it's part of our main culture and nature.

Yesterday we played against Brazil and we won on the second half of the game, by 0 -2.
Two superb goals by our finest players not forgetting the ones who made it possible by playing an excellent game, Ricardo Quaresma.

here's a picture from one of our paper journal's:

Starting coding

noreply@blogger.com (Sérgio Azeredo) — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 17:21:00 +0000

Yeap, finnaly I started learning PHP .

It's a good scripting language used mostly to build websites. With this new skill's I hope I will do something usefull in the near future ;)

To start with, just install Apache web server, MySQL and PHP and start reading... I learned that most things we learn in IT field comes from books or the Internet.

University generally is not a must to be good at something in IT daily work despite many managers that still believe that a graduated student he's better than a good man with proves given on his work.

My favourite song of all time

noreply@blogger.com (Sérgio Azeredo) — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 01:55:00 +0000

Here's the lyrics of my favourite song of all time, from the masters Dire Straits, God bless them and Pink Floyd ;)

This song reminds me the friendship I got and gained when I was at the army with my brothers in arms. Friendship, Loyalty, Never give up, Help your brother, Noone is being left behind, those are good words not to be forgotten and teached to our childs.

The man today tells wisdom words for those who come tomorrow.

Live a good life for when you die you won't be sorry for the wasting lifetime you had. Don't be sad, be happy. Make every step count on your life, let every step of you be good and solid on the ground.

Help who needs help, contribute for our evolution, for our world.

Dire Straits - Brothers in arms

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arm

Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms

Waiting for you

Here is a good song from Ben Harper dedicated to the person I love most in this world.
I will never forget you my dear sweet friend. We will meet again some shinny day :)

Don't worry, be happy, i'm always here :) a sholder to cry, a hand to give, some words to talk, a place on my heart to live. For now and ever.

Ben Harper - Waiting for you

I' ve been waiting for you
I' ve been waiting for you
Never found enything else to do
But waiting for you

I' ve been calling your name
I' ve been calling your name
Never found anything else to say
Nothing to say

You can kill a lot of time if you really want put your mind do it
Leave it all behind if you never wanna go through it

I keep hearing your name
I keep hearing your name
Nothing else sounds the same
As hearing your name

You can kill a lot of time if you really put your mind to it
Or leave it all behind and never ever go through it

I' ve been hoping for you
Keep hoping for you
What else can I do
But keep hoping for you?

You can kill a lot of time if you really put your mind to it
Or leave it all behind and never ever go through it

We can kill a lot and never really have to go through it

What else can I do
But keep hoping for you?

Another "Used to be..." version

noreply@blogger.com (Sérgio Azeredo) — Wed, 08 Nov 2006 07:09:00 +0000

Here goes a part of a song from Viollent Femmes:

I need time to realize my crime

It was let me love and steal

I did dances inside my mind

Now how can I be real

Did you want to hurt me

Did you want make me cry

...

and now some scripts of mine that can be attached to this song:

Did I hurted you inside your mind

Can you now forgive me

Because I can't forgive myself

Can you still love me

Because all is hurting inside me

You used to love me, You used to like me

That was before the end of our world

That was before I made things worse.

I used to be happy I used to be

Such lovely man I used to be

That was before the end of my world

She used to be happy She used to be

Such a loving woman She used to be

We used to be happy We used to be

Such a lovely people We used to be

That was before the end of our World

That was before the end of our World...

hmmm hmmmm hmmmmmmm....hmmm hmmmm hmmmmmm...

Now I have to realize my crime

I need to give her time

We need to be friends again

So love comes on the wild

Hoping that some day

She will return to be my shinny day

hmmmm hmmmmm hmmmmmmm...hmmmm hmmmm hmmmmmmm

I need to wait

I want to wait

Because it will be worth

Because I still love her.

I wrote a similiar song before this one, well, this one it's more complete ;)

noreply@blogger.com (Sérgio Azeredo) — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 03:35:00 +0000

I found a nice article about the beneficts of having sex.

You can read all about it here.

I used to be...

noreply@blogger.com (Sérgio Azeredo) — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 01:42:00 +0000

Here I post a small piece of a great song from Violent Femmes kinda adapted to a personal version. Here it goes...

I used to be happy

I used to be...

So such a loving man

I used to be

That was before the end of my world

She used to be happy

She used to be...

Such a loving woman

She used to be...

That was before... the end of my world

Such loving people we used to be...

That was before the end of our world

hmmmmm hmmmmm hmmmmmmmmmmmm

A blue planet, a dark future, where is the light in the horizon?

noreply@blogger.com (Sérgio Azeredo) — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 06:39:00 +0000

We are in September so now when we hear day 11 of September all the bells ring and all the media talks about the World Trade Center fallen towers.

Well, that's something real disturbing and sad to remember. But even more than this, me and other people might think other things as well. There are so many unanswered questions like: "Did you see how the towers felled? To inside the buildings? An airplane crash doesn't result on THAT disaster!".

More things come to my mind like, well, all people or better, almost all people should know that U.S.A. make allot of money with wars. When U.S.A. needs money what events in the world occur most of the times? Some wars begin... so more money they make. Common sense or not, this are the facts. Call me paranoid but I think on this things. They will even wanted to actually find Bin Laden? They make more money if that guy keeps walking around free out there.

The oil is ruling the world and governments like the U.S. Government is not interested on getting pollution lower, take care of our little beautifully blue planet, get alternative sources of energy, they are only interesting in world domination along with money and more money.

There will be light in the horizon in the near future? I will live to see humanity to concern more in developing, prosper and seek of knowledge instead of fighting among themselves? If I get a son or a daughter, they will see it either?

I hope the world gets better but seems that people just doesn't do nothing afraid of loosing their unstable jobs, fighting for money, cell phones, better cars, etc. This is not the way to go... not at all.

There is allot to be done, so much to evolve, people ever will do that? They even care about it or they just live their lives looking at the clock, the wallet and their pretty cell phones? Do they ever look up, to the sky and beyond? I wonder...

The space beyond

noreply@blogger.com (Sérgio Azeredo) — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 23:32:00 +0000

Yesterday I bought two books that I always wanted. I just hope I will have some free time to read them, the near future it's still not very clear. Future allways in motion as Yoda said on a Starwars movie ;)

On of them comes from the famous writer, Carl Sagan. Title it's "Cosmos" and he did a TV serie with that name when I was a kid. I still remember it and have it on DVD now, remastered with comments. I surely recommend it for all astronomy enthusiasts.

I love astronomy and I didn't lost the hope to go to the space until the end of my life... I can't, I just can't loose that hope. Also see our world would be nice, so please feel free to donate me some money ;) j/k.

The other book comes from Stephen Hawkin. He's considered a very intelligent person, world's leading theoretical physicists. The title of this book it's "A Brief History of Time".

I have here to finish reading also from Carl Sagan the book "The Demon-Haunted World", one of his famous and popular, other one "Contact", a great book and movie with Jodie Foster.

A classic one to read (I don't know when...)from Herman Melville, "Moby Dick".

Retrogaming

noreply@blogger.com (Sérgio Azeredo) — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 22:40:00 +0000

Yes, I'm addicted to games or better, used to be. Nowadays I don't play much, my time is dedicating on chatting and surfing the web for new stuff.

Recently I bought an old computer from the 80's, an Commodore Amiga 1200 with some new stuff like a 40 GB Hard Drive, etc. The golden days for my generation or good old times as we call it.

You can find some of the good old days on our past memories, revive some old passions and even play the game on the PC on this site of the famous game, The Great Giana Sisters.

In fact the 2D games are far better than this new 3D games that seems all the same to me, don't you agree?

Hell, I spent days and weeks playing this 2D games, they were addictive, we can't find that spirit on the recent games for PC, X-Box or PS2.

At least go to this site, download and play this great Galaga clone, Warblade, a classic shoot'em up for PC with awesome graphics and sound. Pump up the volume ;)

And so it begins...

My name is Sérgio Nuno Barros Santos de Campos Azeredo and this is my first experience in the world of Blogging :)
I live in Maia, Portugal, a city near Porto, yes, that one where the famous Oporto wine comes from :)
I'm 32 years old and this blog begins at the year 2006 of August in a holidays summer where I was bored staying at home ;)
In case if you are wondering on what stuff I do for a living, what I like, well, I work in the IT field as Network Engineer, or at least I worked, I'm looking forward for new projects in the near future.
More about me, let me think... oh yes, what I like, I love music, my favorite bands are Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Clan of Xymox, The Mission, Placebo, Sisters of Mercy, and so on and so on... I like all good music :) I went to see Roger Waters from Pink Floyd live at Lisbon once, it was great, best concert I ever been.
I love all my good friends, they know who they are, also my favorite hobby, computers, that's the thing that drived me here since all this years. I started with a Timex 2068 Spectrum computer, and since there I never stopped.
Sometimes I feel that I need to change my life to another things but I love almost everything related to IT though I prefer to be on a tropical island laying down behind a palm tree drinking something good and cold :)
oh.. and of course... the world best soccer team I'm a fan of, Futebol Clube do Porto (F.C. Porto).

I think I'm wasting too much time at home now, that I'm on holidays, I just went to the beach like 2 or 3 times, well, I have 1 more whole week to waste and some friends around, so I hope I will go somewhere out because being at home it's not real nice when a man is on holidays ;)
I will post more stuff with things I will find interesting, funny, good :) and more things about me maybe, who knows ;)
