CVI

When in the chronicle of wasted time
I see descriptions of the fairest wights,
And beauty making beautiful old rhyme,
In praise of ladies dead and lovely knights,
Then, in the blazon of sweet beauty's best,
Of hand, of foot, of lip, of eye, of brow,
I see their antique pen would have express'd
Even such a beauty as you master now.
So all their praises are but prophecies
Of this our time, all you prefiguring;
And for they looked but with divining eyes,
They had not skill enough your worth to sing:
For we, which now behold these present days,
Have eyes to wonder, but lack tongues to praise.

-- Shakespeare

First Day!

This is my first day working at globo.com :)

I need some Space

I should really write a long post about GigaSpaces and the recent OpenSpaces Developer Challenge but I'll have to leave it for another day.

For now, I'll post a link to a short but nice video introducing Space Based Architecture with GigaSpaces.

Conceito 7

A Departamento de Informática da PUC-Rio recuperou o Conceito 7 da CAPES! Para quem não sabe, tínhamos sido rebaixados para o conceito 6 enquanto a COPPE (UFRJ) teve o seu pedido de promoção para 7 negado. Essa informação não é oficial ainda, mas parece que o mestrado em informática na PUC-Rio ainda é o único com o conceito máximo do país.

The Meaning of Liff

He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.
