Happy New Year!

For all ladies and gentlemans I wish the best for the next year, and hope that all your wishes and ambitions come true. Althought last year was not what all expect it to be, sure 2010 will be better.
For this blog I can tell an extreme makeover is expected, and sooner that I tough it will be.

Again,
Happy new year all, and wishes for the best!

PGPORN: pornography without sex

Hugo — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 15:40:27 +0000

How many times have you been watching a great porn film – you’re really enjoying the story, the acting, the cinematography – when, all of the sudden, they ruin everything with PEOPLE HAVING SEX?

Thanks to James Gunn we can be delighted with titles such as “Nailing your wife” and “Roadside Ass-sistance”, featuring porn stars such as Aria Giovanni and Sasha Grey.

For the future I hope more movies like these can be done. Below some movies already done by PGPorn.

What I hate in Web-Sites #2

Hugo — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:15:18 +0000

I hate when my browser window get resized by the visited site. I like to have control hover it, and getting it resized without my action isn’t my idea of control.

Many web-sites do this because they think the user should resize it to feel the interface, but very often that isn’t the case. Most of them (clearly) only resize just to annoy.

I know I’m being hard with them, but the window resize should be banned… JavaScript shouldn’t have that control over a browser window. Of course you should be able to create windows of a certain size, but resize an existing window, that, should be banned.

Now, the solution.

If you are using Firefox, and I hope you do, you can disable the “Move or resize existing windows” in the menu: Tools -> Options -> Content tab -> Advanced (in the right of “Enable JavaScript” option). This will prevent future resizing.

I’m not sure about the Safari, but the Opera users can also customize JavaScript. For the Internet Explorer user, I don’t seem to find another solution than installing third party software(maybe some add-ons on IE7+).

What? Should I say I speak Portuguese?

If you aren’t aware of this, the Portuguese language is going to change. Not the way we spoke it, but the way we write it. Eventually some words will change it’s sonority, but It will remain almost the same.

I have recently found something about this here:

The Portuguese parliament voted last week to change its national language to reflect the more popular Brazilian Portuguese, the language used by about 80 percent of the world’s 230 million Portuguese speakers. In the next six years, European Portuguese will be phasing in three new consonants – k, w and y – and dropping confusing hyphens and silent consonants. So from now on, when you are IM-ing a Portuguese beauty, the correct style is otimo, not optimo, when she suggests meeting for a drink.

I’m not sure if this is what is passing from this change, but I really think this will confuse people.

How can Brazil, as a Portuguese colony, change Portugal Portuguese to Brazilian Portuguese?

It isn’t, but reading the article that is the idea you get from it, And it’s wrong.

The new orthographic agreement was build accordingly to the 8 countries that use Portuguese. Only Portugal is hesitating on implement this, but I don’t see it as a bad choice, and the government hopefully will be leading the right way on this.

Now this is a pen like they should be

Jim Marggraff, CEO of Livescribe, shows off the 2GB, Java-capable Pulse Smartpen at the JavaOne conference in San Francisco. The pen records audio as the user takes handwritten notes, then synchs up the sound with the writing. Audio can then be played back when someone taps the pen on paper. The device also converts languages instantly, playing translations out loud through the embedded speaker or displaying the word on its LED screen.

What I hate in Web-Sites #1

Hugo — Wed, 21 May 2008 20:07:55 +0000

One of the most annoying things in some site, is Music!

I hate entering a site and start listening to some song, or radio, that the site owner like to have playing soon as the page loads.

Imagine you are visiting one blog, and soon as you open the page you start hearing a song, it isn’t a bad song, but you are listening to your favorite CD’s, or simply listening to nothing, and then you got HIT! by the song the site is playing. You searched, you searched, and then you found the player in the only place you wouldn’t search at first.

Is it me, or this is really annoying? Again, the music doesn’t need to be bad, it just feels out of place, and if you are entertained with something else it will just become annoyer, and you will eventually loose interest on what you were trying to reach(by entering that site).

I’m not saying music should be banned from sites, I’m just trying to share the idea of having everything in the right place. Of course there are sites where you expect to have music (from your experience) but are about those annoying others I’m talking about.
