Recycling seems to be very fashionable these days, which is better than just throwing things into the bin and let them end up in a landfill. But for some reason, people are also turning to it as the holy grail of environmental problems - as long as it's recyclable or recycled, it's OK, we can consume more of it.

Uma das minhas gatas, a Miu, aprendeu a abrir portas fechadas. Ela salta para o puxador e espera que o trinco se solte. Depois desce e usa as garras para puxar e abrir a porta. Não lhe ensinámos isto mas é um truque que dá imenso jeito, porque assim não precisamos de lhe ir abrir a porta quando está fechada num quarto e quer sair :)

Brilhante apresentação da Sandra Fisher-Martins!

A famigerada entrevista da revista Sábado a meia dúzia de jovens, supostamente alunos de universidade, tem dado que falar.

The European Parliament will soon vote on ACTA. The sad thing is that most people don't know what ACTA is - but the really bad thing is: neither do the legislators and politicians voting on it.

ACTA is the "Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement". With such a name, one would think it's a good thing, right? Well, it turns out that just as with several other misnamed laws of recent times, its name has little to do with what it really does.

Update 19/05/2013: Andy pointed out in a comment here that there's an easier way to do this with current versions of Chrome.

• Go to chrome://flags
• Enable the flag "Override software rendering list".
• Restart Chrome

Just like Andy points out, this «accomplishes the same thing, but via Chrome/Chromium settings and it is saved so doesn't require running via terminal or editing a shortcut parameters.» Thanks for the tip, Andy!

Esta é velhinha mas acho que é uma pérola tão preciosa que decidi copiá-la para aqui, caso desapareça da web. :)

A lot of people have been asking, so I'll just make a public announcement: yes, I'm moving to Scotland with my girlfriend. For those few who already knew, yes, there has been a slight change of plans. Long story... :P
