Weeks ago, some people in the Ubuntu community got a bit disappointed with the distribution’s core team:
> We are supposed to be a community, we all use Ubuntu and contribute

> We all make Ubuntu together, or is it a big lie?
We all make […]
Some weeks ago I joined a handful of ThoughtWorkers invited to test the new Google AppEngine’s Java API. Unfortunately I had a project requiring a lot of attention during most of this period but once back on the beach I found some time to play around with it.

Google AppEngine (GAE) is Google’s shot in […]
For some months now I’ve being playing around the idea of writing a testing framework for Clojure. It started as just a more extensible fork of the fact library but now I’m trying to explore some funny ideas in the testing semantics.

The full JAR would depend on weblogic.jar, a 50+MB gorilla, but as the features that create this dependency are not used by all our […]
I’m attending JAOO in Sydney. Today’s most interesting presentation was by Johnny Chung Lee, a Internet Celebrity(tm) with some of the most viewed videos in youtube and a researcher in human-computer interaction.
Johnny gave a brilliant talk and stressed the fact that although we have better graphics nowadays we still suck at how to interact […]
I’ve presented at the Australian Architecture Forum a couple of weeks ago. It was a very nice opportunity to get an overview of what the Australian software development market looks like outside ThoughtWorks.
