First of all, the title of this post is ironic.

Thanks for “Departamento de Computação” for blocking SVN in its network.

I had to format my hard disk two days ago- for nasty, closed source, proprietary reasons- and reinstall Ubuntu 7.10. Then I got connected to the internet, and requested aptitude to update the system. It was painfull, 285 MB of download.

Yes, I know. Tomorrow, Cannonical will release the new Ubuntu… oh, sh*t.

But that’s okay, now I’m getting all the stuff I will need for GSoC and I hope to have it all before the weekend. And  I would like to thank my friend Thiago Santos, a.k.a. “Meson”, for the C# book… =)

Hello, World!

I am just starting this new blog. I use to blog in portuguese at VaiNaLousaChefe, but this one will be used to posts in english, and mainly about my participation in Google Summer of Code.

My name is Gabriel Geraldo Franca Marcondes, from Brazil. Call me Marcondes, or Gabriel if it is easier for you… I study Computer Engineering in Federal University of Sao Carlos, Sao Paulo state. My project in GSoC is Record Speech as Tomboy Note, mentored by Nickolay Shmyrev from Gnome.
