</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">People (they know who) can inspire me in many different ways.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Films mess with my feelings in a good way.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cities, especially really big and busy ones, make me feel free and are the source for the most diverse of inspirations. The simple fact of walking through people, being at new and strange (good) places, sitting outside of a cafe looking at the busy street and thinking of all things that might have happened there, where the people are going, why? My thoughts move faster than me and that keeps me inspired!</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Some sources are even from my quotidian activities, things that I see/do every single day but in that moment they were "different" and made me feel different.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All of them make me dream...</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Whatever your sources are, keep them! From inspiration comes motivation and from motivation you can change the World, at least yours!</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">P.s. Don't forget, to be able to see through them, you need to stop sometimes, relax!</span><br />

</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">–</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">When we're young our parents tell us “you need to study”, when we grow up they say “you need to find a good job and keep it for life”.</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">Although the grown up version might be different depending where you've grown, there's always a path that everyone will try to follow and make you follow it.</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">People pretend to know how we should be living our lives but truth is, no one knows! Not even us.</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">Most people have dreams (at least that's what I want to believe) and everyone is afraid of failing, if only a bit. Obviously it's much easier to follow what society tells us to do and blame the system if we fail than to take full accountability for ourselves.</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">Please, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to argue against the usefulness of our society's definition of good and bad, far from it. My point is that we can be responsible for ourselves and make a positive result out of most situations, even when we have messed up with “the path”.</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">For a while I was quite good messing up with it (“the path”) and I must admit, sometimes it made me think I wasn't going anywhere but lying to myself telling that “I was doing it for a reason that I believed in”. Then I got the amazing job people told me I could only get by following the right path, I was confused!</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">After giving it a little thought I realised “Wait! The path doesn't matter, not at all! What really matters are our dreams (some call them goals), values and the capacity to change and adapt to the present circumstances!” Am I right? I don't know. Unfortunately for some, there's no universal formula for success, this is just my today's equation.</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">I'm happy with myself today and I like to think that I only am who I am because of everything I did until now, even though I made some mistakes, I don't know if it would be better or worse otherwise. It's preferable to learn from the past but only think of what we can change in the present to make the future closer to what we imagine.</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">Lately I've been reading a lot about entrepreneurship, successful people and other related topics (good reading by the way). It's amazing the amount of times I read “To be truly successful you'll need to...”, sometimes even with opposing ideas and all written by successful people. Some of the articles even start by telling that “the path” doesn't matter but then finish describing the profile of the successful person, the one that succeeded against all odds. We can't fall for the anti-path, that's just another one and in this case it can make people believe the success is only for a small group of elite people (and hopefully they're wrong).</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">I don't want to sound pretentious, I do listen to all those advices and I really find them useful. I truly respect the people who wrote them but I need to be careful not to take as an absolute truth.</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">Well... I'm not trying to say everyone should create their own path, I don't believe it is the best to do (neither the worst), actually I don't even think it should be easier to not follow “the path”, after all that's just asking people to believe in us because we say so. What I am saying is that everyone is responsible by writing their own history either by following “the path” or not, your choice!</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">When we speak about success we usually start by listing some successful cases, I would start by the recent Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Twitter... They are world changers in the technology field.</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">If someone shouts “I want to create something as big as Google” others will tell them crazy. We compare the craziness of one or two guys to the current state of a successful big corporation. Although starting a company with the single purpose of “being as big as Google” might not be the best idea, what we usually miss is that all those companies started small, from zero.</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">I'm sure there were other equally or even more special people in the world when Bill Gates started Microsoft. If asked, no one would have guessed, by looking at his profile, that he would change the world a few years later. In the end, Microsoft wouldn't have happened without the will, the will to make something different, outside of the box and take responsibility for it.</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">All this to say: I'm again ready to mess with “the path”!</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">This time my goal is to live an happy life, make my dreams come true and be the best person I can be! To inspire myself and never let the energy go away!</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">As valid as any other goal so, what's yours?</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;">P.s. Just so do you know, initially this post was going to be about the importance of following “the path”, I proved myself to be wrong...</span></div><div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'DejaVu Sans', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><br />

How are you today?<br />
<br />
A thought came to my mind today...<br />
Some people ask me why can't I stay quiet and have a "stable" life, all fair questions.<br />
Some people tell me "You're risking too much, you can lose money! You can lose your job! Don't do that!".<br />
<br />
To those people I say "Waiting for a miracle, doing nothing, that's risking! I can lose my whole life!"<br />
<br />
See you later.<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">How are you today?</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It has been a long time since my previous post, so long that a year finished and a new one has started, welcome to the great 2010!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">There were some reasons for staying away all this time but the main one is that something is going on that I couldn't talk about and believe me, it has been really hard not to speak about it! So I prefered to stay quiet.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Bad news, I still can't speak about it, what brings me here today is something else.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Some days ago I started searching for an online repository for some experiments I'm doing and I was looking for a free but high quality service.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I was being really exigent with the service because, although I'm still using it for free, the time will come when I'll certainly need to switch for a non-free service and, obviously, I don't want to start all over again!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I believe that having a free service and the quality of it can show a lot of the company's culture and it works well with me.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Ok, back to the story. After trying some services (some of them with really good conditions) I was starting to get frustated, I couldn't make them work. Ok, I admit, it was mostly due to my lack of linux experience (I am using Jolicloud remember) and that's already frustating for me but, above all, what was really driving me mad was the fact I couldn't get any help. Well, I got some in one of the services but I think they didn't have the patience for a confused “free user” (again, the culture).</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I really wanted a good service and I was trying to start using Git (another new thing in the mix), so I continued looking for it and, guess what, I found <a href="http://www.indefero.net/">www.indefero.net</a> . Simple and very well done!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Because of my previous experiences I was a bit skeptical at first and I almost thrown my netbook against the wall when I realised it didn't work, again!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">And then it all changed!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Ok, opening contacts (that were easily accessible)... I didn't realise it was a weekend day and late, I was distracted by my experiments, so I sent a quick e-mail to Loic d'Anterroches asking for help and went to bed.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">On the next day, after some laziness, I turned on my netbook and didn't expect what was in my Inbox! An answer to my e-mail and sent just few minutes after I left on the previous night (and they're in the same time-zone as me)! - Blimey! Brilliant! - I thought.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">After some chatting with Loic, we finally solved the problem and I was happy until I realised I couldn't check-in code!!! Back to Loic and he answered as if he was already waiting for it, brilliant again!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The problems continued, later on to realise it was my weird piggyback mobile connection messing with ports, but I was so sactisfied with the service that I really wanted it to work, so I decided to switch from Git to the SVN repository (yes, they have both).</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It all works now and I own it to Loic an Indefero's amazing support (and patience)! I actually learned a lot in the process.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I'm not sure if it was noticiable on the other side but it was great having someone helping after so much frustration. They were great on every single detail and that's why they deserve this post and this new client!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I am still impressed. Thanks.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

</div><div style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;">Obviously lots of people are now laughing at my previous sentence but, why shouldn't we?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">You might have strong arguments for the question but truth is, no one knows the answer! The big crises we're still recovering from is a proof of it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">People take statements as granted, we believe US is the biggest power and leader of the world (and they still are), we believe our government is crap (and it might be) and we (some) believe that Michael Jackson is immortal (and he is!) but we fail to realise that all that can change and mainly, that that change depends on us and not ONLY corporations or the government we so much hate (not talking about Michael now, although...). If we want something, it is better if we fight for it, NOW!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Some years ago who would guess, common people at least, so many of the developing countries would now be great economic powers (and still developing) as Brazil, India or China? They took advantage of important changes in our world.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">There are opportunities and turning points in History and they might seem invisible at first but they do exist. When I say "turning point" it doesn't mean one day we'll wake up as a powerful economy, no! It's a war with many battles and it takes time.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I can't understand why we're so pessimist...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">In the specific case of Portugal, we have Mediterranean weather (I thought not but it helps, though is a great distraction), we are creative, crap undergraduate education but amazing Universities (as US apparently), we have History (and a good one) and a strong culture to name a few. I'd say we're lucky people!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">So, the next question is, why aren't we doing better?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Yesterday I read an article in a Portuguese newspaper about all the recent inventions Portugal has made. It was a great and positive article with a big list of great inventions, that's completely true! So, again, where's the problem?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Firstly and probably the most important, if you ask anyone in another country, at least here in UK, they won't know what we've done and some times they don't even know the technology exists. That's a big issue for a 10-million-people country that wants to be competitive at world scale, we're missing some market visibility. Well, I must admit, some of those technology are specific to Portugal problems and, although solving national problems is great, we could, some times, try to solve worldwide problems.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Secondly, and probably one cause of the first, we're too proud of what we can do alone -- that's stupid! We're good, I believe in that, but to be amazingly great we need to attract the most talented people in the world! We need to make it harder for other countries to compete with us. There's no problem in being a bit patriotic, everyone knows that Americans are patriotic and some times speak like Mourinho (a great leader by the way), but they still realise the importance of external talent. Even the best need some help.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Back to the article, it had too much of "made by Portuguese companies with Portuguese people". Can anyone explain to me why is that a quality? We're being small again here!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Last but not least, English isn't our mother tongue.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">So, it leaves us with our last question, what can WE do to make our situation better?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Stop complaining and waiting for others to change their minds!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Understand that even Portuguese people make mistakes! We need to try, fail, learn, stand up and keep trying! This may happen be by being the best person, employee or entrepreneur.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Success is a state of mind so, think big* and, most importantly, be positive!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Sorry for the huge post.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">See you later,</span><br />

make mistakes! We need to try, fail, learn, stand up and keep trying!

I must admit, I didn't use Jolicloud as much as I was expecting but enjoyed what I saw. They have work to do and everything is still too slow to be my main OS for now but because I was running from a pen, couldn't install the updates to see if it gets better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll be installing it completely during this week but I'm now even more excited with Chrome OS (that apparently works on <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5414010/chrome-os-for-dell-mini-10v-its-easy">Dell Mini v10</a> netbooks).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back to the post topic...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been using some of the web apps I listed on previews posts. In general they're great, some more useful than others but great. I'm really impressed by Zoho apps actually.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What's the problem then?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, I can do what they do and sometimes better and/or quicker with Desktop applications! Ok, the data doesn't get stored in the Cloud with desktop apps, at least not until you install <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/">Dropbox</a> .</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm not being pessimist, I still believe in the Cloud but, that won't convince anyone by itself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What do you answer to a casual user that asks "Why should I change if I have everything I need?". Firstly, they always think to have enough until they start using something else ;) and then you can talk about mobility of data.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But is that enough?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What happens if someone only uses one machine? Well, they aren't the target public of Cloud services probably, not! Most of cloud services have (or should have) social and share features, they are great but, why do you need them if you don't have "anyone" to share with?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We need everyone, even those "one machine only" users, but we must admit, we're asking for a big change, it's not like installing a new Office version! Users need to be educated.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, with that said, what can we do? Simple, stop trying to port desktop applications into the web and trying to rival with years of development and support.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look at the <a href="http://www.pixlr.com/editor/">Pixlr</a> example, it's amazing, I don't need to install Photoshop neither Paint.NET ever again but, what if I already had those installed? After speaking with some people that use Photoshop more often, they think <a href="http://www.pixlr.com/editor/">Pixlr</a> is ok but misses some core functionality! So, what's the point?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since we already need to educate users anyway, why not making a complete change? Why not starting looking at what the web has that desktops don't, social & share features, new UI designs, new functionality... Basically rethinking the way we use the computer!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It needs to feel different, newer and better for the average user to adopt the product. Users need to feel that after using some of the web apps they can't even think on going back to the equivalent outdated desktop app.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now it's the time, cloud services and apps need to be the key for this turning point to work, they need to leave everything else behind!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Though, still a long way to go...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Diogo</span>DiogoNeveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16472490476035185474noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219816757760622909.post-77833838267357677232009-11-24T23:56:00.001+00:002009-11-25T10:35:38.274+00:00After all, there is more...<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After all there is more than Google!</span><br />
<div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the same day I read about the German government claiming that Google Analytics is illegal <a href="http://bit.ly/75gJpr">http://bit.ly/75gJpr</a> I found a strange, but promising, new Operating System that will compete with Chrome OS. Can Google be hurt?</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm speaking about <a href="http://www.jolicloud.com/">Jolicloud</a>. Some would say - "that's just another operating system... It won't work" - well, you may be right or... Maybe not!</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why am I so excited? In the past few days I've been trying to convince everyone that Chrome OS is the future. Apart of one or two people, no one believed in me. I can understand, is still a big jump forward.</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Between some minor reasons for the 'failure' of Google Chrome OS, there was a major and rather concerning one, the fact it is just a browser and everything is completely on the Cloud. For me it isn't an issue, that's exactly what I'm trying to do now, but I kind of understand those concerns.</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This brings us back to Jolicloud - "Why are you so excited?" (you ask again) - Well, Jolicloud follows the same path as Chrome OS, that's reason enough for me but, as if it wasn't enough, it is actually compatible with offline applications and data (with a proper file system) for people concerned with privacy. It's based on Ubuntu so it is compatible with some well known applications, as it proves by the great software collection it comes with.</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is all great but you might be still thinking - "Yah, but that won't be enough to convince users to use it, at least the casual ones!" - again, you might be right but, I left the best to the end... It actually <b>runs Windows applications</b>!</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm not saying everything will be perfect, far from it, but it looks much better than Chrome OS with its iPhone look and feel and more of a 'new Operating System for our times' instead of trying to be too extremist.</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've got an invitation to the Alpha version of Jolicloud and I'm currently downloading it (600MB not much and yes, it <a href="http://www.jolicloud.com/compatibility">runs</a> on a fair list of netbooks and laptops). I'll have more to say after installing and using it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.jolicloud.com/idea">http://www.jolicloud.com/idea</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last but not least, here are some of the applications I've started using last week:</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.zoho.com/">http://www.zoho.com/</a></span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Application browser</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">See for yourself, it's like Google Apps but, from what I've seen, much more complete! Try Zoho Writer!</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can use your Google Account to register, i's really easy and you won't be disappointed.</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/">http://www.slide.com/</a></span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Slideshow creator</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Not much to say... cool but not that useful (for me at least).</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Was great to 'speak' with you again.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Firstly, I just saw Little Big Planet at HMV and I must admit, it's a great feeling to see our game on the shelves!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">I was thinking on my next post when I realised I should probably 'define' the concept of Cloud as a starting point so, for quick reference, open and read (or look at the drawings) these links:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing</a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><a href="http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/networking/?p=2223&tag=nl.e101">http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/networking/?p=2223&tag=nl.e101</a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">This will definitely help defining it...</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Now I can continue thinking on my next post :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br />
</span></span><br />

The game is getting really good reviews and that is reflected on the happy faces around the studio.</span><br />

I am quite excited about it because it answers some of the needs of my Master Plan.<br />
Well... Enough of words, here are two videos that can explain it better:</span><br />

These are probably good candidates for Apps to use on Chrome OS.</span><br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I promise to talk more about them as soon as I start using more frequently but I'd also like to know what you think.</span><br />
</div></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: justify;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br clear="none" /></span><br />

You might be thinking now - "But netbooks aren't new" - yep, I know, this isn't the "new stuff" I was talking about.</span></p><p><span x="y" style="font-family: Verdana; ">Some weeks ago I started putting together a plan, a master plan to dominate the world or, at least, the virtual world. I'm talking about 'The Cloud'! And now you think - "But that isn't new either!" - OK! But I didn't know back then!</span></p><p></p><p><span x="y" style="font-family: Verdana; ">The plan is simple:</span></p><p></p><ul><li><span x="y" style="font-family: Verdana; ">Buy a netbook (without optical drive)</span></li><li><span x="y" style="font-family: Verdana; ">Don't install any of those useful software products that you so 'desperately' need</span></li><li><span x="y" style="font-family: Verdana; ">Understand what you really miss</span></li><li><span x="y" style="font-family: Verdana; ">Look online for a good solution</span></li><li><span x="y" style="font-family: Verdana; ">Start using it</span></li><li><span x="y" style="font-family: Verdana; ">Spread the word!</span></li></ul><p></p><p><span x="y" style="font-family: Verdana; ">For those asking "Why?", I ask "Why not?".<br />As I said, I love new stuff and I love a good challenge. I know that most of the desktop tools are still better than their online younger brothers. I want to help those young little monsters and there is only one way, by using them.<br />There is still some usability problems with most of the online tools already available, but it still makes sense to me.</span></p><p></p><p><span x="y" style="font-family: Verdana; ">While walking this path I hope to help and being helped by others with a similar interest.<br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; ">The only victim here will be my wife, poor girl, she'll be my experiment mouse :)</span></span></p></span>DiogoNeveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16472490476035185474noreply@blogger.com5
