You can find the slides at the LCA website. Talk was good, Rusty seemed to like it, which is pretty much my criteria for success, so everything was fine The only sad thing is that, as I'm using my development laptop (which is ... http://www.glommer.net/blogs/?p=208 Tonight, at LCA, we went to a party in the Melbourne Museum. It was quite a good time, and in between some very nice and pleasant conversations I had the chance to keep spreading cachaça around (If you haven't tasted it yet, look for me tomorrow). There were some presentations from ... http://www.glommer.net/blogs/?p=207 Ok, I've got an OLPC. But I don't really understand much about kids. So, what do you do when you face something you don't understand very much about? You go for a tutorial! Fortunately, I've come across this very nice tutorial on how to care for a kid. OLPC is not ... http://www.glommer.net/blogs/?p=206 I still have to blog about the first two days of LCA, (which were amazing). But right now, just after the keynote, I was lucky enough to get an OLPC! Which is nice! They were given to some attendees at random, in the hope we can make something amazing with it. ... http://www.glommer.net/blogs/?p=205 Me and Rusty have agreed that his tutorial is probably better suited for giving the cachaças away than my talk. Mainly because it's easier to find out a criteria for that.

That was mainly, because the only explanation ... http://www.glommer.net/blogs/?p=203 I' ve arrived directly to Australia in Melbourne, Wednesday the 23th, and took the day today to know the city. It'll be probably the only one, because I'm leaving to Sydney tomorrow, and I intend to enjoy LCA as much as I can. The city is very lovely. I'd say it ... http://www.glommer.net/blogs/?p=202 There's no Sao Paulo - Melbourne direct flights. Well, that's quite a trip, so it's understandable. I then had to took a connection. Arriving at the connection city, I: Saw signs in english all the way around Saw Mc Donald's, KFC, Starbucks, TGI Fridays, and so on, all over the place Saw a ... http://www.glommer.net/blogs/?p=201 Well, more or less. I've decided to take the week before as a resting week, to take the oportunity of being in Australia. But first of all, I left Brazil on Sunday, and arrived here on Wednesday. So I've officialy spent almost half of my "rest week" inside planes ... http://www.glommer.net/blogs/?p=200 LCA2008 will start within two weeks. I'm expecting it to be a remarkable experience. I've never been to australia before, and Arnd told me that LCA is the funniest conference ever. Let's see how it goes! I'll be talking about lguest (more precisely, our x86_64 port), focusing on which aspects make ... http://www.glommer.net/blogs/?p=199
